 PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: THE PROGRESSIVE VOICE
Sabine is singing more emotionally and powerfully as well, focusing less on the “angelic” style and directing her voice towards the music and controlling it versus trying to complement it as in the past.
With Sabine sounding more comfortable with her position, and Lanvall opening up a bit in his compositions, the band is showing that they aren’t just an offshoot of his earlier career turned metal.
Edenbridge is not for the strictly metal minded individual.

The doors opened barely 10 minutes before Edenbridge were due on stage which meant that the venue was gradually filling up while they were on stage.
The stage set was almost the same as on their previous tour: a large band logo backdrop that hung from the back wall of the stage, two giant flags on the sides of the stage and microphones with red glowing eyes.
After the intro tape, the band fired up the house, and launched right into three cuts from their first studio album "Millennium Metal": "Fight", "Dream Of Doom" and "Break The Spell", during which the audience start headbanging like demons.

I think the answer is that she and her band have an excellent power metal ensemble, so why mess with perfection?

Edenbridge's debut 'Sunrise in Eden' blew away the world with their intoxicating blend of liquid guitarwork, soaring female vocals, symphonic keyboards, and a driving rhythm section.
Edenbridge, the Austrian band relatively new on the symphonic rock block, features rock guitarist Lanvall and vocalist Sabine Edelsbacher -- the latter being one of the more attractive female vocalists around these days.
One of the biggest problems with Edenbridge's sound is that while the music is majestic, the theme of the album seems to have been lifted from mid-rate fantasy fiction.

Naar mijn mening is erg stilistisch gezien een erg groot verschil tussen beide bands and voor mij is de muziek van Edenbridge altijd superieur geweest ten opzichte van de muziek van Nightwish (oeps…wat zeg ik nu weer?).
It's not a matter of not allowing the other band members to come up with ideas, but they think it's going well as it is. They really don't have any songwriting aspirations, so that's why I still write all the music and lyrics for Edenbridge.
Since you're responsible for the Edenbridge music as a whole and Sabine is more or less the face of the band, the spotlight is always on you both.

I have been an Edenbridge fan since Sunrise In Eden, watching the band grow from their Nightwishy beginning into their own entity, evolving their own distinct sound, all the way to the culminating triumph of Shine.
Most Progressive /Symphonic bands reach a point where the effects and choirs and elaborate songwriting start to reach a level of diminishing returns, and I think that's happened here.

There are a lot of idiots on this forum that think any band with a female singer is a Nightwish clone, but don't listen to them, because they're wrong.
Edenbridge's texts are very different from Nightwish's, the vocals are different (Tarja and Sabine have different voices), I find Edenbridge's music a bit lighter and more optimistic than Nightwish's and both bands are melodic in different ways (Nightwish doesn't use as much electronica as Edenbridge).
Sure Edenbridge does use keybroads but that becomes something who hear less and less of by the time you get to there 3rd album.

Shine is already the fourth album by Austrian epic bombast metal band Edenbridge, if you don't consider their live CD Livetime In Eden released earlier this year.

His discs were instrumental, but he managed to convey some sort of story with his warm and melodic style of playing, making them flow and tremendously atmospheric.
This is not to take away from the rest of the band, as the drumming and bass playing are outstanding in their own rights.
It’s one of those discs that really stand out on it’s own, without paying homage to any other band - Lanvall’s special brand of music is unique in itself, but mix it up with a metal / rock style and this band is onto something very special indeed.
