reception

In the trade press, the verdicts on Exit Eden vary. The Internet magazine “Passion-and-Promotion.de” describes the album as a “successful work that inspires enthusiasm among the listener”. The German portal "Metal.de" attested the debut album "impressive sounding symphonic metal hits", but made compromises in the overall impression. The songs would “make a lot of difference individually” as they seemed “quite unimaginative as a collective”, which the portal attributes to the “often similarly structured source material”. Laut.de only gives the album one of five stars and criticizes the fact that the album is “no fun” and “only brings about boredom and foreign shame”.
