I actually discovered Edenbridge relatively late. It was 2017, and the magnificent "The Great Momentum" immediately became my album of the year. Since then, every one of their albums has thrilled me with their unmistakably melodic, symphonic metal and concise, soulful vocals. Epic and full of pathos, but also brimming with soul, passion, and a healthy dose of heaviness, their songs are incredibly dynamic and multifaceted timeless classics.
Favorite track: Cosmic Embrace.
