Edenbridge Release New Album ‘Dynamind’

Edenbridge have lined up the release of their compelling tenth studio album, ‘Dynamind’, on Steamhammer / SPV as a DigiPak CD (including bonus CD), double gatefold (blue with black swirls) vinyl LP, (with printed inner sleeves plus CD in a cardboard case), download and stream on October 25^{th 2019}.

In explanation of the concept of ‘Dynamind’, Vocalist Sabine Edelsbacher notes that “there’s an interesting quote which summarises the deeper meaning of the album title. It says: ‘The muscle of consciousness develops through the stress ratio of opposites.’”

This thesis completely describes Edenbridge’s holistic approach on ‘Dynamind’. The best example of this is ‘Last Of His Kind’, with its twelve-minute-plus playing time, which additionally has an overriding meaning to Lead and Rhythm Guitarist Lanvall; “From my point of view, this is part three of the title tracks on ‘The Grand Design’ and ‘Myearthdream’, which broach the issue of our irresponsible treatment of our planet’, he explains, and proudly points out a number of guitar parts which were inspired by David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), giving the song a magnificent flair.

The Irish-inspired theme of ‘On The Other Side’ (as in ‘The Grass Is Always Greener’) had been at the back of Linvall’s mind for some 15 years. “I had the idea as far back as ‘Aphelion’, but at that time there were still some important parts missing. This time the verse and chorus suddenly came to me from nowhere when I returned from a walk. Suddenly, in one moment, it was all there, making ‘The Other Side’ the song in Edenbridge’s history that took the least time to compose.”

‘Dynamind’ was once again mixed by Karl Groom (Threshold); “Karl and I complement each other perfectly”, comments Lanvall, who spent two weeks with Groom at Thin Ice Studios in Surrey, England, applying the final touches to the album; “While I always have a very clear idea of the sound of a new Edenbridge album, he has the necessary expertise as a sound engineer.”

‘Dynamind’, which was mastered by Mika Jussila (Stratovarious, Children of Bodom, Lordi) at the renowned Finnvox Studios in Helsinki, is an outstanding masterpiece.
