Returning to Steamhammer for their latest chapter, Edenbridge push their sound into new sonic territory, embracing a heavier foundation while preserving the sweeping orchestration, intricate arrangements, and signature vocal warmth of Sabine Edelsbacher. Joined by mastermind Lanvall (guitar, keyboards), the band blend powerful riffs and grand symphonic layers with unexpected instrumentation, including dulcimer, swarmandal, monochord, and electric sitar.
The debut single Cosmic Embrace is a standout, building momentum with soaring vocal lines and a dramatic orchestral passage before unleashing its full symphonic might. The accompanying video reinforces the song’s spiritual themes: a labyrinth symbolizes the path of inner contemplation, culminating in a fiery transformation and symbolic embrace of solar energy.
Across Set The Dark On Fire, Edenbridge explore harmonic and structural diversity, from the heavy, doom-laced finale of The Ghostship Diaries, to the cinematic ballad Bonded By The Light, to the epic 13-minute, four-part suite Spark Of The Everflame, which embodies the band’s full stylistic spectrum.
