Epictronic is pleased to announce the signing of Italian progressive metal band GanEden. The label will reissue the band's debut album, Gan Eden, marking their first release under the Epictronic imprint. GanEden was formed in Trento in 2023. The four-piece — Davide Battisti (drums), Andrea Gottoli (guitars), Morena Dallapiccola (vocals), and Carlo Mirabassi (bass), plays progressive metal built on structural complexity and a range of genre influences, spanning aggressive riffing to atmospheric, introspective passages. "Gan Eden" is a concept album that revisits the Book of Genesis through a speculative lens: Adam and Eve not as divine creations, but as genetic experiments conducted by a higher intelligence. Expelled from the Garden of Eden, they encounter violence, moral failure, and the weight of human imperfection. The album follows both the subjects and their creators as each side confronts what went wrong: Adam and Eve attempting to reach their makers, the creators watching their experiment unravel. The record moves between dense, heavy arrangements and quieter, more ethereal sections, using the full range of progressive metal to map the emotional arc of the story. |
