New Eden

New Eden's 1997 debut, Through The Make Believe, received critical acclaim with its distinctively 80's American power metal style, and with the acquisition of former Helstar vocalist James Rivera, the future looked bright indeed. But personality clashes within the band arose, and eventually everyone save guitarist Horatio Colmenares left, with three of the five ex-members forming Destiny's End. Colmenares eventually recruited a second New Eden lineup, and the metal world benefited, as as the subsequent albums by both bands were better than Through The Make Believe. To date four albums have been released, all with nearly distinct lineups surrounding Colmenares, the most recent being Solving For X in 2012.
