After seven years of silence, the super symphonic metal band composed only of great female singers, Exit Eden has returned from the exile to which it was tied by various circumstances, above all, the multiple occupations that the main bands of its members have and present their new studio album, 'Femme Fatales'.
The band is now a trio, after the departure of Amanda Somerville, which fortunately has not taken away an ounce of power or weight from the music that is now carried on the shoulders of > Clémentine Delauney, Anna Brunner and Marina La Torraca, who do a great job, worthy of singers of their category.
Furthermore, for the first time, Exit Eden has decided to go a step further and leave aside the label of being a cover band and with 'Femme Fatales' presents its first original songs which cover half of the twelve songs that complete the album.
The unreleased songs are not only filler within 'Femme Fatales', but they manage to shine with their own light, which has meant a great success within the evolutionary path of Exit Eden. Highlights include 'Buried in the Past', 'Dying in My Dreams' and 'Run', which became immediate classics of the band with exquisite arrangements, orchestral passages and of course, the voices of Clémentine, Anna and Marina.
'Femme Fatales' of course, has a good number of songs that have been part of the culture and popular imagination of the world for decades. You will be able to hear versions of 'It's a Sin' (Pet Shop Boys) - of which we are not particularly fans, honestly -, 'Separate Ways ' (Journey), 'Desanchantée' (Mylène Farmer), 'Poison' (Alice Cooper ), 'Alone' (Heart) and 'Kayleigh' (Marilion) but now reimagined impressively to turn them into pieces of symphonic metal and also make them sound as if they had always been that way which is also largely the responsibility and success of the album's producer, Hannes Braun, who has managed to give a cinematic air to the songs, which fits perfectly with the voices of the triplet.
'Femme Fatales' is an album that all symphonic metal fans will be able to enjoy from start to finish. The covers are magnificent for the most part, but personally, the original songs are what give the true light to the album and we hope that the band does not leave this aspect aside for future material. Despite having three heavyweight singers, they manage to combine perfectly, without stepping on each other or standing out, but rather achieving a more powerful mix than their individual components. Great job.
