4.0 out of 5 stars Waldemar Sorychta back with another great band..., November 15, 2007

As some metal fans may know, Waldemar Sorychta is the guitarist from Grip Inc. & also is a big producer for such bands as Flowing Tears, Lacuna Coil (female fronted, melodic bands) & Moonspell. Well now he's back in his own female fronted, melodic band Eyes of Eden w/ "Faith" which does have a sound not unlike Flowing Tears or Lacuna Coil but it also makes me think of Nightwish a little too. (If you are fans of those bands then this CD should be no exception to you.) Of everything on this CD, Franziska Huth's vocal performance really stands out the most...she's very good & the orchestration sounds excellent! Eyes of Eden definitely have the talent to last a long time if they continue to craft quality music like this debut.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent symphonic metal, February 13, 2008

I was both bummed and delighted to discover that this was a debut album -- bummed because I would have loved to be able to get more of Eyes of Eden's music, delighted because it means they should, hopefully, have a long career ahead.

This is a solid album. There really isn't a bad song on it, and a couple of outstanding ones (my favorites are "Not Human Kind" and "When Gods Fall"). It doesn't break new ground in the genre, but it's a very accessible introduction for newbies, and fans of symphonic metal should find a lot to like here. I look forward to seeing what else they produce in the future.

This first CD from Eyes of Eden is truly wonderful but hard to classify. Who does this new band sound like? Their music is complex and melodious - perhaps a bit like Nightwish (when Tarja was with them). But they don't really sound like Nightwish. It's powerful like Epica. But there is no grunting and it is not as orchestral. In places it has a Celtic quality not unlike Loreena McKennitt but it's certainly not a Celtic album. In other places it is simple, smooth, and ethereal, a bit reminiscent of Enya but this certainly is not New Age music either. What is Eyes of Eden? Well, quite simply, it's absolutely great. If you like any of the above, have a listen to this new band. You won't be disappointed.
