After having released their debut album, “Open Minds”, through the now defunct Majestic Rock Records in 2006, British melodic hard rock band Eden are now finally back with their follow-up, which is called “Oblivion”.
As this is the first time I write something about the band, I would like to point you to the line-up of the band, in which we recognize some familiar faces, such as Nick Workman (ex-Kick) on vocals and Vince O’Regan (Kooga, No Sweat, Bob Catley, Pulse, Alibi) on guitars. I knew these guys were able to produce something far better than “Open Minds” and with “Oblivion” they demonstrate this. Everything is better now: the overall quality of the songs, the execution, the production … even the artwork. Opener and title song “Oblivion” sets the tone for a very agreeable hour of British melodic hard rock in the vein of the above-mentioned bands. The songs I like most are the longest ones on offer: the title track (6:40), “The Last Goodbye” (6:31) and “High Enough” (7:14). With more songs like these three, “Oblivion” would have been a REAL killer. But like I said: “Oblivion” marks a big step forward for this five piece from the UK! (
