Devin Townsend recently announced the release of his forthcoming new studio album PowerNerd – available worldwide on October 25th. Now he presents a different side to PowerNerd , following the release of the anthemic title track last month. ‘Jainism’ is an atmospheric and heavy track, that combines crushing riffs with lush synths, and you can watch the video below.
As Devin explains: “This next song was based on my connection to music in the mid nineties. Also the idea of what it means to rend yourself artistically to an unresponsive world in 2024. I referenced The Wildhearts in the chorus, as Ginger is one of our generations greatest songwriters. In preparation for ‘The Moth’, PowerNerd is meant to look back and celebrate the past before moving forward. Thank you for the support…back to work here :)”

After years of anticipation, Empires Of Eden is set to release its fifth studio album on November 15, 2024 – “Guardians Of Time”, proudly released by Massacre Records!This upcoming release promises even more electrifying collaborations, with such as Jonas Heidgert (Dragonland), Louie Gorgievski (Night Legion), Tony Webster (Archetype) or John Gallagher (Raven) to name just a few, and continues Stu Marshall‘s legacy of delivering high-octane metal with both precision and passion.
Stu Marshall, a renowned Australian guitarist and producer, is best known for his explosive guitar work, blending technical prowess with melodic sensibility. Rising to prominence with the power metal band Dungeon and more recently US power supergroup Death Dealer, Marshall’s career has spanned decades, marking him as one of Australia’s most respected metal musicians.
In 2008, Marshall embarked on his solo project, Empires Of Eden, creating a platform to collaborate with some of the biggest names in metal. The project brought together an array of world-class vocalists, allowing Marshall to blend symphonic, power, and traditional heavy metal elements into epic soundscapes. Since its inception, Empires Of Eden has released four critically acclaimed albums, showcasing collaborations with metal legends such as Udo Dirkschneider (U.D.O., ex-Accept), Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear), Zak Stevens (Savatage, Trans-Siberian Orchestra), Rob Rock (Impellitteri), Mike Vescera (Yngwie Malmsteen, Loudness), and Jeff Martin (Racer X). Each release delivers a mix of Marshall’s complex guitar compositions and the iconic vocal styles of his guest artists.
Empires Of Eden is celebrated for its blend of intricate musicianship, thunderous riffs, and soaring vocals, earning the project a dedicated global fanbase. The project has a unique collaborative nature making each album a fresh and diverse listening experience, with each vocalist bringing their own signature style to the fold. But give ear, as Empires Of Eden has just premiered a lyric video for the first single, the album title track “Guardians Of Time”, featuring Rob Rock (Impellitteri) on lead vocals and John Gallagher (Raven) on bass!
“The song is about life and how it goes by so fast”,Rob Rock comments.“The guardians are the angels that watch us live our lives and keep their eyes on us to protect us. At the end of our time, they lead us into the next realm of existence.”
“Guardians Of Time” brings together a rare coalition of some of the genre’s most formidable musicians. This isn’t a typical collaboration; it’s a bold, creative venture that challenges the conventions of metal.
Crossing genres of power metal, AOR and thrash elements, this album shows a deep creative input from a wide range of metal talent. “Guardians Of Time” is a statement of intent from some of the most respected names in metal. It’s not about nostalgia; it’s about innovation and the future of metal as a creative force. It’s a testament to Marshall’s enduring creativity and ability to unite the metal community through shared artistry.
Produced by Stu Marshall, who has worked closely with each vocalist to ensure that their contribution is both individual and integral to the whole, this album represents a new model of collaboration in heavy music!
