Beyond genres. Beyond categorization. Heavy, Dark, Fast, and Different. Formed in 1996 by vocalist Reverend Charles Lupula (and long-since departed, from the band, not life, bassist/co-vocalist Dana Volkerts), Dark Eden are a band that encompasses many worlds, while never limiting ourselves to any one. Existing mainly to weaken the shackles of Christianity while making sure not to forget to have fun doing it, they are known for their furious stage show, their dedication to their craft, their deranged sense of humor, their blatant sexuality, and a sound that mixes black metal and death rock with a little whatever the hell else they feel like adding.Fresh off appearing on the officially authorized Glenn Danzig Tribute album, Icons of the Underground, Volume 1: Glenn Danzig (Hedonism Records), where they covered the Danzig I track, "Possession," they have just released their second album, Jehovah's Sickness (the title inspired by a lyric from the Electric Hellfire Club song, "Hypochristian), going into a heavier direction than their first self-released album, 2003's Rock Me Asmodeus, from which the songs "3 o'clock God" and "White Magick Boy" derive. A few tracks from their second and final album, Jehovah's Sickness are up, in the forms of "Double Plus Ungood," "You'll All Be Really Sorry When the Rapture Comes Along," and "Somebody Else's Problem," with the rest of the album equally as powerful.Jehovah's Sickness (2008 - self-released)Available for free download athttp://www.4promo.net/darkedenRock Me Asmodeus (2003 - Self released)Available for free download at www.4promo.net/darkedenIcons of the Underground Volume 1: Glenn Danzig(2006 - Hedonism Records)Available from Hedonism Records
