With Epiphany Burn Down Eden cement their place at the forefront of the genre, delivering an exhilarating mix of precision and pulverising power that demands to be heard.

Known for their explosive fusion of brutality, melodic harmony, technical prowess, and lyrical depth, Burn Down Eden's music serves as a stark mirror, reflecting the darker aspects of humanity and challenging listeners to confront the uncomfortable truths we create.
Burn Down Eden state: "The lyrics to 'Suckbox' were written to a time, when there were allegations made public against Till Lindemann (Rammstein) about sexual assault. It's a very serious topic that we wanted to bring to light, since the exploitation of women in the rock and metal world is a well known secret that comes to light occasionally. And it goes far beyond our beloved scene. Athletes, politicians and actors. People with money and power tend to have a weird perspective on how they can treat people and women in particular. This was something we wanted to talk about. And of course we did it the Burn Down Eden way, telling the story from the perspective of a rock star and how we picture those situations to happen. How the managers are instructed to find new girls on each show and the power of fame is used to treat them like sh*t. "...close your eyes, open your mouth and do the f*cking deed" is a very strong line to describe this use of power figuratively.
"So how can you supplement this topic with a video you may ask yourself? We couldn't translate the lyrics just into pictures, that's for sure. So we came up with the idea to jump into different characters that are either convicted offenders or had/have serious allegations against them. And not just rock stars but politicians, too. During the first half of the song, we kinda introduce those characters and picture them in the most cocky way we think they might act in real life, with girls dancing around them as well. When we build up to the solo part, we also start the plot twist in the video. The girls start to fight back and take over the instruments playing the rest of the song. We are very happy with the outcome and think it's a great statement."
Burn Down Eden's latest release is not just a powerful follow-up to their April 2024 EP Dismal, it’s a major milestone for the band. With the release of a music video for every track across both Dismal and today's Epiphany EP release, the band have now unleashed a total of ten videos, each one bringing a unique visual dimension to their unrelenting sound. Together, these tracks form a cohesive, full-length experience, set to drop on 31st January, 2025. To commemorate this epic moment, the band will release the full package in physical form, including two limited edition vinyl versions, CDs, and exclusive new merch. Pre-orders are open now, and can be found here: https://www.impericon.com/de/collections/burn-down-eden. This is the culmination of a year’s worth of intense creativity, and it’s just the beginning.
