Edenbridge is a band from Austria, specialising in classy, melodic, symphonic metal with progressive tendencies.
Edenbridge was formed in 1998 by guitarist and keyboardist Lanvall (Arne Stockhammer), bassist Kurt Bednarsky and vocalist Sabine Edelsbacher. The line-up was completed when drummer Roland Navrati joined the band. Edenbridge quickly set to work, and entered the recording studio in 1999, and signed a recording deal with Massacre Records the very same year. The album, named Sunrise in Eden was released in the autumn of 2000.
The band added a second guitarist, Georg Adelmann, to its line-up in February, 2000, but his stay with the band was to be a short one. When he left in January, 2001, he was replaced by Andreas Eiblar. Since then, Edenbridge has released three more albums, Arcana (2001]), Aphelion (2002) and Shine, released in the autumn of 2004.
Founding member Kurt Bednarsky left the band between the release of their second and third album, but a permanent replacement for him has yet to be found.
