Leaving Eden

These days, few things can wake up this writer from a deep Autumn slumber as effectively as an extra strong, fully caffeinated, double shot of Espresso but like all things in life…there are some notable exceptions. One of these exceptions is the soul rattling music of Leaving Eden – a premier, Boston-born rock band boasting not only a distinctive and immediately recognizable sound but also an impressive catalogue of mostly heavy, impossible-to-ignore tracks (10 full albums to date and counting). Go ahead…set your wake-up alarm to them and you may find that you actually prefer their signature exotic blend over the artificial jolt that your mundane first morning cup offers!

Self dubbed a New Millennium band, Leaving Eden borrows its inspiration from various musical genres but identifies predominantly as hard rock under a hybrid goth/prog/alternative header. This is a band that needs to be seen and heard live and the experience feels immersive and almost metaphysical at times depending on the set list. Staying true to their metal roots, the bulk of Eden’s repertoire are heavy, riff-driven originals and their recorded tribute covers to some of rock’s most iconic legends have also gotten their fair share of streams as well as many praiseworthy accolades. But irrespective of any one style or music industry label, one thing is clear, Leaving Eden is a cross-genre, multi-faceted workhorse that follows an integrative creative process and the proof is evident in their unique sound.
