BIOGRAPHY & HISTORY

BIOGRAPHY:

Images of Eden is a melodic, passion-based progressive hard rock/metal project originating from the Baltimore, MD/ York, PA-USA region. With the release of 2 full length CDs- "Chapter I" (Independent- 2001) & "Sunlight of the Spirit" (Nightmare Records- 2006), and playing live over the past 6 years, they are quickly gaining notariety locally, as well as through North America and Europe. Images of Eden is compared to (and influenced by) bands such as Queensryche, Fates Warning, Dream Theater, as well as many other Progressive-Hard Rock/ Progressive-Metal bands.

Images of Eden is a very unique project in that each CD (album, release) is a chapter of a story, portraying an ongoing journey through life, told in a very positive/ uplifting way, with each release picking up where the previous one has left off.

With 2 CDs under their belt, "Chapter I" (2001) and "Sunlight of the Spirit" (2006), the band is now finishing up their 3rd release, "Rebuilding The Ruins".  The release date is TBD but is looking like it will be in early 2010.

HISTORY:

The concept of Images of Eden began in fall of 1998 when founder, vocalist, Gordon Tittsworth, parted ways with his previous band, Out Of Nowhere. After dealing with seemlingly endless unmotivation and lack of competence/ creativity, Gordon decided that it was time to bring his vision to life without having it diluted or compromised. In September 1999, he went into the studio with only a session drummer to record the debut Images of Eden CD (later to be known as "Chapter-I") with engineer Bill Dickson. The goal was to fully produce an original/ unique CD, playing all of the instruments (except drums). The final product would then be used to carefully select musicians to fulfill the Images of Eden lineup.

- Spring of 2001, "Chapter-I" was complete and Gordon had selected what was later to be the "initial" Images of Eden lineup (Gordon- Lead Vocals, Bass Guitar & Keyboards, Dennis Mullin- Lead Guitar, Bobby Minter- Drums).

- 2003- Images of Eden parted ways with drummer, Bobby Minter, replacing him with Matt Kaiser. They also added Brian Gulin on Bass Guitar. The band would play live locally/ regionally in the Baltimore, MD/ York, PA- USA area for the next few years, gaining regional notariety as well as winning local "Battle of the Bands" competitions.

- 2004- Brian Gulin left Images of Eden just before they began recording "Sunlight of the Spirit", the follow up to the 2001 release of "Chapter-I". It would be 2 years and 2 record labels later before the CD would finally be released worldwide by Nightmare Records on November 21, 2006.

- 2006- Bryan Wierman joined Images of Eden on Bass Guitar. After numerous reviews, interviews and worldwide airplay, in December, 2006, "Sunlight of the Spirit" hit #17 on the college radio charts for the entire USA (thanks to Mark Blair Glunt of Silent Planet Promotions for his unending faith and support)!

- 2008- Matt Kaiser and Bryan Wierman part ways with the band, giving Gordon some some very needed time to refocus and reform IOE.  It was during this time where the entire Rebuilding The Ruins CD was written.  Gordon also had the opportunity do dive into some "vocal for hire" work. 

- 2009- "Rebuilding The Ruins" is recorded and IOE reforms.  The new lineup is (Gordon- Lead Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, Bass Guitar & Keys, Chris Lucci- Drums & Producer of RTR, Dennis Mullin- Lead Guitar, Dean Harris- Piano & Keyboards).  It was also during this time where Gordon joined his 2 other projects, Dread The Forsaken (Guatemala-based Power Metal/ Hardcore) & All Too Human (TX, USA-based Progressive Power Metal). 

- 2010- TBD release dates for Images of Eden- "Rebuilding The Ruins", All Too Human- "Juggernaut" & Dread The Forsaken- "Unbound".  Stay tuned.
