Edgedown ( spelling : EDGEDOWN) is a German metal band from Freilassing in Upper Bavaria . The band is assigned to Heavy Metal or Power Metal , although modern influences are also present.

history

Edgedown was founded in March 2008 by Andreas Meixner, Mathias Gaßner and Michael Zebhauser. The first appearances were in the same year, but still played as a cover band. Since 2009, however, the focus has been on self-written material - this year the recording of the 2010 demo began. The untitled 3-track demo was distributed by a few hundred copies.

In the same year the current bass player, Stefan Rehrl, joined the band. In January 2011 Edgedown completed their permanent line-up with Peter Ramspott on drums. This was followed by several live shows, including as support for the symphonic metal bands Epica and Serenity and at the Metalfest Austria Open Air (with Saxon, Rage, Wintersun, Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth, and many more).

In the Dreamsound Studios Munich (Serenity, Visions Of Atlantis, Graveworm, Panzerballett, Emergency Gate, Edenbridge, Lanfear and many more), work began on the debut album Statues Fall in mid-2012 , which was completed in the same year. Mixing and mastering was carried out by Jan Vacik and his team (Daniel Rehbein and Dejan Djukovic). Georg Neuhauser (Serenity) could be won as a special guest for the song Live Together, or Die Alone .

In the summer of 2013, the first contract was signed with the renowned German record label Massacre Records , on which the debut album Statues Fall will be released worldwide on April 25, 2014.

style

The musical style of Edgedown can be described with the term "Modern Heavy Metal", as the band was shaped by genre greats such as Iron Maiden, Dio, Savatage, etc., but does not ignore modern influences.
