“Guardians Of Time” brings together a rare coalition of some of the genre’s most formidable musicians such as Jonas Heidgert (Dragonland), Tony Webster (Archetype), John Gallagher (Raven), Louie Gorgievski (Night Legion), David Readman (Pink Cream 69) or Tony Truglio (ex-Liege Lord) to name just a few. This isn’t just the next typical collaboration; it’s a bold, creative venture that challenges the conventions of metal.
In support of today’s record release, Empires Of Eden is premiering a new video clip for the latest single “When Will It End”, featuring high class guests, vocalist Darren Smith (Jake E. Lee’s Red Dragon Cartel), Mike LePond of Symphony X on bass and Clay T. (Arkenstone) on drums!
“This song is about the pain we all feel when the relationship goes south, and we are heartbroken,” Empires Of Eden mastermind Stu Marshall reveals. “The song was written about 20 years ago and embodies the 80’s AOR vibes and that was what we were trying to bring out in the track. The song ends with the writer taking the power back after a failed relationship and a cheating spouse.”
Stu Marshall, a renowned Australian guitarist and producer, is best known for his explosive guitar work, blending technical prowess with melodic sensibility. Rising to prominence with the power metal band Dungeon and more recently US power supergroup Death Dealer, Marshall’s career has spanned decades, marking him as one of Australia’s most respected metal musicians.
In 2008, Marshall embarked on his solo project, Empires Of Eden, creating a platform to collaborate with some of the biggest names in metal. The project brought together an array of world-class vocalists, allowing Marshall to blend symphonic, power, and traditional heavy metal elements into epic soundscapes. Since its inception, Empires Of Eden has released five critically acclaimed albums, showcasing collaborations with metal legends such as Udo Dirkschneider (U.D.O., ex-Accept), Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear), Zak Stevens (Savatage, Trans-Siberian Orchestra), Rob Rock (Impellitteri), Mike Vescera (Yngwie Malmsteen, Loudness), and Jeff Martin (Racer X). Each release delivers a mix of Marshall’s complex guitar compositions and the iconic vocal styles of his guest artists.
Crossing genres of power metal, AOR and thrash elements, the new album shows a deep creative input from a wide range of metal talent. “Guardians Of Time” is a statement of intent from some of the most respected names in metal. It’s not about nostalgia; it’s about innovation and the future of metal as a creative force. It’s a testament to Marshall’s enduring creativity and ability to unite the metal community through shared artistry.
Produced by Stu Marshall, who has worked closely with each vocalist to ensure that their contribution is both individual and integral to the whole, this album represents a new model of collaboration in heavy music!
