Empires of Eden represents a powerful voice in

aggressive contemporary power metal. With a list

of collaborators spanning several countries and a

wide range of musical disciplines, this studio

project is a veritable dream team of

uncompromising artists cooperating in a framework

which allows them to bring their finest talents to

the table.



While Empires of Eden has been created as a labour

of passion by virtuoso Stu Marshall of

Paindivision and Dungeon fame - the central

philosophy is to give all the musicians as much

freedom as they need to produce the best work they

are able to. Drawing on influences as diverse as

Helloween, Gammaray, Iron Maiden through to

Cacophony and Arch Enemy, Empires is a no

compromise shred laden adventure that will excite

guitarheads and metalfans alike.



Marshall leads an all-star cast of players,

singers and writers who over the years have proven

themselves to be some of the most exciting

performers in metal today. Empires of Eden

showcases three of metals finest voices, in

vocalist Mike Zoias a powerful operatic force who

can combine the classic, finely crafted tones with

a fire rarely experienced in metal vocalists today

- Louie Gorgievski, whos firebreathing style

combines a unique power and brings a passionate

Dickinson-style vocals to the project. Louie is

current vocalist with the band Crimsonfire and has

proven he is a must hear voice for all fans of

high powered vocals. Completing the vocal talent

is Chris Ninni. Chris is one of the surprise stars

of the melodic metal scene, sounding like a hybrid

of John Farnham / Joe Lynn Turner, Chris

incredible range and power have added a pure

melodic touch to Empires and is sure to showcase

Chris as one of the finest rock voices on the

scene today.



While the initial framework for the songs have

been created by Marshall, all singers have been

instrumental in creating their own lyrics and

melodies. This provides a wide range of flavours

to Empires of Eden and again highlights the

collaborative spirit that the project is built

upon. Marshall has contacted many of his friends

and respected musicians to add their magic to the

recording.
