Sounds Like
Images of Eden has a unique passion-based progressive hard rock/ metal sound that mixes in technical elements of the late 80s/ early 90s (intricate guitar/ vocal arrangements) with an energy comparable to todays music...
Our music (and definitely our message) is very original, but fans of the above bands should definitely check us out.
"Images of Eden is one of the smartest progressive rock/metal bands out there today, combining brilliant, emotional lyrics with intricate musical compositions that have a message and a story, something we haven't seen since the likes of Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime.... Be prepared to be impressed with one of the best up and coming prog metal bands in the industry." -Derric Miller (Hard Rock Haven)
"With Sunlight Of The Spirit, they (Images of Eden) have not only made one of the best progressive metal/rock albums of the year, they have re-written the rulebook on progressive metal. If there is any justice in this world of ours, Sunlight Of The Spirit will go down as one of the greatest progressive metal offerings of all time. Never before have I heard an album with such emotional depth and power!
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars" -Matthew Bankes (Rising Forces USA)
"Truth be told, every song here is something to be proud of, especially the magnificent eleven minute epic "Midnight's Tide". Bottom line is this; if you're a prog metal fan, you have to hear this for yourself and experience a truly amazing band."
-TJ (Black Angel Promotions)
"They (Images of Eden) show maturity and a solid grasp on the progressive hard rock genre and don't barrage the listener with excess technical wankery or excessive odd time signature use..." -(www.metalreviews.com)
"Images of Eden is a band not to underestimate." -Mirko (Defenders of Steel)
"5 out of 5 Stars" -Pablo Boschiazzo (Encrucijada-Melodic.com)
"It was a pleasure to listen to the high quality musicianship of this band, which I highly recommend to any Progressive Metal fan..." -Gabor Fabian (Strutterzine)
-"The band has a lot to offer fans of progressive metal who are looking for something unique."
- "Strong songwriting, tight musicianship and excellent production."
- "SUNLIGHT OF THE SPIRIT is a very impressive album that should stimulate a lot of interest from fans of high quality metal..."
-Neal Woodall (Detritus Zine)
"This is an emotion driven progressive metal/rock sound that isn't afraid to takes steps outside of the normal progressive music formula." -CW Ross (Christian Rockers Online)
Images of Eden is a melodic, passion-based progressive hard rock/metal project originating from the Baltimore, MD/ York, PA-USA region. With the release of 2 full length CDs- "Chapter I" (Independent- 2001) & "Sunlight of the Spirit" (Nightmare Records- 2006), and playing live over the past 6 years, they are quickly gaining notoriety locally, as well as through North America and Europe. Images of Eden is compared to (and influenced by) bands such as Queensryche, Fates Warning, Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, Disturbed as well as may other progressive-rock/ progressive-metal bands.
The "Images of Eden" concept was founded in 1999 by vocalist, guitarist, songwriter- Gordon Tittsworth, in hopes of putting together a powerful and unique, melodic/prog-metal project.
Images of Eden is a very unique band in that each CD (album, release) is a story, portraying an ongoing journey through life, told in a very positive/ uplifting way, with each release picking up where the previous one has left off.
"Eden" describes the inner peace, serenity, strength, and love that lies within us all. The weight of the world every day can be a heavy burden on us, but one must separate themselves and their own lives from the outside world and find their own "Eden". Quality of life should not be judged by one's surroundings, but how one adapts to and deals with their surroundings, because a perfect world can truly exist. It can be found inside one's own mind, body and soul. You can choose to exist in a apathetic, dismal world of negativity- or you can choose to find the "Eden" that lies within you.
Now, we (IMAGES OF EDEN) are in the process of recording our 3rd CD, "REBUILDING THE RUINS", to be released later in 2009. In the meantime, our 2nd CD, "SUNLIGHT OF THE SPIRIT" (distributed by Nightmare Records), can be purchased by clicking on of the retailer links below.

H. Jackson Brown: Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece -- by thought, choice, courage, and determination.
