And that’s precisely what Edenbridge do: the Austrian melodic metal act’s material always features – along with its symphonic qualities – an important emotional-spiritual side. This applies not only to the band’s thirteen recordings to date, but also to their latest album Dynamind, scheduled for release on Steamhammer\/SPV on 25 October 2019. The atmospherically dense compositions, directed once again mainly by creative mastermind\/multi-instrumentalist Lanvall and vocalist Sabine Edelsbacher, combine melodies and grooves, toughness and sensitivity, emotions and intellect, spirit and the subconscious mind. Which better way to document this talent than with a programmatic play on words such as Dynamind? “There’s an interesting quote which summarises the deeper meaning of the album title,” Sabine Edelsbacher explains. “It says: ‘The muscle of consciousness develops through the stress ratio of opposites.’” You should allow this thesis to work on you because it perfectly describes Edenbridge’s holistic approach on Dynamind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe best example is the album’s breathtaking finale, consisting of the epic ‘The Last Of His Kind’ with its more than twelve minutes of playing time and the subsequent quiet, almost intimate title track, ‘Dynamind’. To Lanvall, it’s ‘The Last Of His Kind’ in particular which has an overriding meaning: “From my point of view, this is part three of the title tracks on The Grand Design and Myearthdream, which broach the issue of our irresponsible treatment of our planet,” he explains and proudly points out a number of guitar parts which were inspired by David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), giving the song a sublime flair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDynamind’s complexity and amazing compositional maturity impress its listeners well before its awesome finale. The Irish-inspired theme on ‘On The Other Side’, for example, has been at the back of Lanvall’s mind for some 15 years. “I had the idea as far back as Aphelion, but at that time there were still some important parts missing. This time the verse and chorus suddenly came to me out of nowhere when I returned from a walk. Suddenly, in one moment, it was all there, making ‘On The Other Side’ the song in Edenbridge’s history that took the least time to compose.” The lyrics, by the way, are about that familiar phenomenon that makes the grass on the other side always appear to be greener, in other words: No matter what their own situation is, people tend to think that things are better somewhere else.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere can be no doubt: Dynamind sees Lanvall succeed once again in lending a clear, comprehensible structure to his ten new compositions, despite their complexity. At the same time, Edenbridge have created a homogeneous, self-contained offering from the different temperaments on their toughest album to date (Lanvall: “Even the comparatively quiet number ‘Tauerngold’ has a doom-laden central part”), which seems destined for a dynamic live presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDynamind will be available on double CD, vinyl double album and for digital download. Like its predecessors The Grand Design (2006), Myearthdream (2008), Solitaire (2010) The Bonding (2013) and The Great Momentum (2017, the new album was mixed by Karl Groom (Threshold). “Karl and I complement each other perfectly,” comments Lanvall, who spent two weeks with Groom at the British Thin Ice Studios, applying the final touches to the album. “While I always have a very clear idea of the sound of a new Edenbridge album, he has the necessary expertise as a sound engineer.” Talking of expertise: Mika Jussila (Stratovarius, among others) mastered the recording at the renowned Finnvox Studios once again, and guest vocalist Thomas Strübler contributed the haunting choir parts and part singing. The latest addition to the Edenbridge fold is bassist Stefan Gimpl, who is also a member of Bavarian act Crystallion and completes, together with Dominik Sebastian (lead \u0026amp; rhythm guitars) and Johannes Jungreithmeier (drums), the current Edenbridge line-up. A very lively line-up, as it happens, perfectly described by the term “Dynamind”.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53415919452503,"sku":"P-83981-","price":14.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/Edenbridge-Dynamind-2CD-DIGIPAK-83981-1-1565793474.jpg?v=1778056425"},{"product_id":"edenbridge-the-chronicles-of-eden-part-2-2cd-digipak","title":"Edenbridge - The Chronicles Of Eden Part 2 - 2CD DIGIPAK","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter the first retrospective The Chronicles Of Eden (2007), Edenbridge, one of the most unique bands in their genre, deliver their second „Best Of“ album, right on time to their 20th Anniversary.\u003cbr\u003ePart 2 is the quintessence of the studio albums 5-10 and again it was up to the fans to vote for their favorite tracks of each album. Creative mastermind\/multi-instrumentalist Lanvall: „The voting was not a major surprise and is more or less identical to the songs, we would also have chosen. Therefore 4 tracks\u003cbr\u003eof each album could be covered along with some older all out of print bonus tracks.“\u003cbr\u003eAs a surprise, there are 2 new recorded acoustic versions of the hits Higher (over 4 million views on YouTube) and Paramount featured, among the Easter Version 2020 of the song Dynamind, re-recorded by Sabine. Lanvall: „It was extreme fun to turn Higher into a nearly jazzy piano\/vocal version showing a different side of us, formerly unknown. Paramount was one of the absolute fan favorites and so it was near to transform that song too and let it shine in a new light.“\u003cbr\u003eThe 150 minutes of the double album cover the big range of the symphonic metal sound and the compositional substance and consistency, Edenbridge has been standing for 20 years. Atmospherically dense compositions, directed mainly by Lanvall and vocalist Sabine Edelsbacher, which combine melodies and grooves, toughness and sensitivity, emotions and intellect, spirit and the subconscious mind\u003cbr\u003ein a unique way.\u003cbr\u003eThe atmospheric artwork was inspired by a vision, singer Sabine had, linking the spiritual awakening to a Aurora Borealis. Sabine: „After an own spiritual experience a couple of years ago and without an explainable reason, I felt a deep connection to the name Aurora. Subsequently I concerned myself with what the name stands for and relating it now to a heart quality, which might lead us to higher consciousness. Especially when there is a lot of negativity in the room, a possibility for transformation\u003cbr\u003eexists, through recognition and acceptance, respectively the self-responsibility for own feelings. Edenbridge always followed this path and especially now it is even more important to get into the own truthfulness.“\u003cbr\u003eThe graphic direction of the cover artwork was again in the hands of drummer Johannes Jungreithmeier, who developed into the creative visual pole of the band since his entrance into the band in 2016. All tracks were produced by Lanvall and mixed by Threshold mastermind Karl Groom, with whom the band\u003cbr\u003ehas been collaborating for 15 years now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e„YESTERDAY IS HISTORY, TOMORROW IS A MYSTERY, TODAY IS A GIFT“\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53418395959639,"sku":"P-102881-","price":14.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/Edenbridge-The-Chronicles-Of-Eden-Part-2-2CD-DIGIPAK-102881-1-1603780837.jpg?v=1778078010"},{"product_id":"edenbridge-set-the-dark-on-fire-lp","title":"Edenbridge - Set The Dark On Fire - LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith their 12th studio album, \"Set The Dark On Fire,\" and their return to the Steamhammer\/SPV label, Edenbridge explores new soundscapes without abandoning their tried-and-tested trademarks.
