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, Gamma Ray, 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, who?s 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.
