Band history
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. Under this line-up, Edenbridge released the album Arcana (2001). During a tour in 2002, Edenbridge's bassist and founding member Kurt Bednarsky left the band. In November the same year, the album Aphelion (2002) was released. Their next album entitled A Livetime In Eden (2004) was released in August two years later, followed shortly by Shine (2004) in October. At this time, a new bassist, Frank Bindig, joined the band. In December the same year, guitarist Andreas Eibler left the band on friendly terms and was replaced by Martin Mayr. Mayr later became a permanent member in June 2005.
Their fifth studio album, The Grand Design, is being recorded at Lanvall's studio, Farpoint Station (one of many Star Trek references surrounding Edenbridge), and is scheduled to be released May 19th, 2006. The first single will be titled "Evermore" and will be backed with a cover version of the James Bond theme "For Your Eyes Only," the first cover version the band have ever recorded.
