Edenbridge announces new guitarist, bassist
Austrian female-fronted symphonic metal band Edenbridge has announced the adition of guitarist Dominik Sebastian and bassist Simon Holzknecht to the group's ranks. "Dominik Sebastian, also known from the band Thirdmoon, has already played guitar on the whole MyEarthDream Tour and has proved to be a great guy and musician and got on well with us," Edenbridge said in a statement. "Dominik, of course, can also be heard on Edenbridge's new live album, 'LiveEarthDream'. Simon Holzknecht, to many also known from his other band Serenity, is our youngest band member with only 22 years and is absolutely smashing on his instrument!"
Edenbridge's live album, "LiveEarthDream" (see cover artwork below), will be released on May 4. The disc was recorded at various concerts in 2008 and can only and exclusively be ordered through the band's fanshop. The album will be limited to 1,000 copies and will not be available anywhere else.

Bassist Frank Bindig left Edenbridge last year in order to focus on his other projects.
Edenbridge's sixth studio album, "MyEarthDream", was released in Europe in April 2008 via Napalm Records. The cover art was created by Anthony Clarkson, who has previously worked with Blind Guardian, among other artists. The mixing sessions for the CD were completed at Thin Ice Studios in England with Karl Groom (Threshold). The mastering took place at the Finnvox Studios in Helsinki, Finland with Mika Jussila.
