US Progressive Rock project Edensong published the official teaser for the new album “Our Road to Dust” out on May 09, 2025 via The Laser’s Edge. Stream the teaser through the YouTube player below:
Hailed as a “a great example of contemporary Progressive Rock” by Jethro Tull‘s Ian Anderson, Edensong have delighted audiences throughout the US and abroad with their genre-bending blend: a hard driving rhythm section, flute playing that ranges from serenely melodic to avant-garde, lush vocal harmonies, and more than a touch of orchestral ambition. They have supported diverse acts including Kings X, Ozric Tentacles, Pain of Salvation, Neal Morse Band and Anglagard and have headlined their own tours throughout the US, UK, and Canada.
Edensong will return with a new album “Our Road to Dust” in 2025, their first since releasing the critically adored “Years in the Garden of Years” in 2016. Their first album to be crafted as a quartet, the record embodies the ambitious, detailed and eclectic sound they have cultivated over the years, but is far Heavier, more focused and full of infectious Melodic hooks. It is also their first album to be mixed and mastered at Jens Bogren’s Fascination Street Studios in Sweden.
Says John Kotzian (formerly of YtseJam.com): “This is definitely Edensong, but… more? The heaviness in some areas is pure joy…I expect bands to grow with every release and am disappointed when they don’t progress. THIS, however, makes me think I missed a few albums. HUGE STEP FORWARD“
Edensong will also return to the stage this year, with a special performance at the Terra Incognita Festival in Quebec, Canada and others to be announced.
