Edenbridge forced to pull out of Portugal's Caos Emergente
Austrian female-fronted symphonic metal band Edenbridge has been forced to cancel its appearance at this year's installment of the Caos Emergente festival, set to take place September 11-13 in Porto, Portugal. The group says in a statement, The promoter was not able to provide flight tickets for the band and crew according to the contract. "After numerous mails from the band over more than two months concerning the flight tickets, the promoter put off the band until the last week before the festival just to say that now the flight tickets are too expensive for them, which is no wonder when you wait until the last moment.
"The proposal from the promoter to fly in the band from Munich instead of Linz according to the contract was logistically not possible for the band to solve in such short time and tickets from Munich would have not been any cheaper.
"We would have loved to play for our Portuguese fans."
Edenbridge recently entered b>Wild One Studios in Vienna to begin recording its seventh studio album for a tentative May/June 2010 release.
Regarding the new material's direction, Edenbridge previously said, "Of course, we have followed the symphonic way of our last album, 'MyEarthDream' [2008]. Nevertheless, there are more atmospheric and melancholic vibes on the new one."
The band added, "We have two absolutely smashing hit songs, both perfect for a video clip."
Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Brothers On Diamir", "Skyline's End", "Bon Voyage Vagabond", "Further Afield" and "Come Undone".
Edenbridge will team up with Serenity for a tour later this month.
Edenbridge's live album, "LiveEarthDream", was 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 is limited to 1,000 copies and will not be available anywhere else.
