Hey David!!

Thank you so much for your feedback, good to hear you agree with some of our opinions 🙂

I honestly hope that the degree of success does NOT influence these artists’ songwriting and styles. They have the right to keep doing what they want and what they’re good at, but then we as listeners and fans also have the right to listen to what we like. 😉

Thanks for listening to us and stay safe and healthy!

Hi Kiki and Steffi
Thanks for another fun show and interview – you two are so adorable .. children’s choirs are totally creepy! LMAO! Agree with most of your opinions regarding Omega, I was perhaps not expecting them to be able to match Holographic Principle, an absolute masterpiece. Similarly, other major releases from the period established high standards which would have been difficult to top: Xandria – Sacrificium, Nightwish – EFMB, and Delain – Moonbathers, all massive achievements. It’s difficult to get numbers for international record sales, so I wonder if/how that success or failure may influence artists. Great to be able to hear you as always, apologies for the U.S. being quite a mess and not the global leader it should be.

So great being able to continue hearing you all in another delightful episode. Not sure if the word you wanted was ‘maritime’ or ‘nautical’, but you all speak such wonderful and charming English, it is a reminder of how lucky I feel to be able to listen to the show. All these magnificent bands, so much of their work written in English, I am so impressed, and grateful for the brilliance of these young artists.

Hi David!

Good to hear from you! I’m glad you liked the episode and thanks for your always kind words <3
XANDRIA's time with Dianne definitely produced amazing music - and her latest work with EX LIBRIS is impressive as well. I really hope that the band continues somehow and we get to do second band special someday 😉

Thank you for listening and stay safe out there!

Kiki – amazing story, very impressed with your professionalism, many would be bitterly disappointed to not get that gig especially considering Dianne’s split .. India is a magnificent album, but In terms of technical ability and musicality, I think of Dianne as one of the premier rock vocalists ever, and Sacrificium as one of the great rock albums of all time. There must have been extraordinary pressure to match that achievement. Thanks again for another lovely show, my sincere best to you all.

Hi Steffi and Kiki (from formerly USADavid)
Thanks again, for a quite remarkable interview … Ignea is a band that I will definitely support, for the music especially, but also for the principled and ethical philosophy.

Ciao

Hi Ben!
Thanks for reading and commenting 🙂

I honestly don’t know what happened to the plans of continuing with EXIT EDEN. The band kept performing live up until the past summer but, to my knowledge, they never announced any new music in the works. Clémentine released a new album with VISIONS OF ATLANTIS, Amanda and Marina worked together on PHANTOM ELITE’s upcoming album and Anna toured with KISSIN’ DYNAMITE. But no news of the four women working on more EXIT EDEN yet.
If you know more, share the info with us in another comment! 😉
Stay safe!

Kiki

Better songs?
These songs are great now that this album has been done 2 or 3 were great before but the rest
weren’t very good by the others that put these out…
Why isn’t this getting air play on other places?
If the next album is half as good as this it will still be a great album…
