Multinational melodic hard rockers, Eden's Curse, will release Testament - The Best Of Eden’s Curse via AFM Records on November 2nd. The two disc CD set features 14 songs, covering all five studio albums on CD1, and a bonus disc The Best Of The Bonus Tracks on CD2, which includes a brand new song "Forever".

Renowned American author Dan Brown, who wrote The Da Vinci Code, is the inspiration behind "Forever".

Bassist and main songwriter Paul Logue picks up the story: “I actually wrote ‘Forever‘ way back in 2005 for Pink Cream 69 singer David Readman’s solo album. However, his label decided to push him in a more AOR direction, so I always kept this one on the back burner - ‘Sign Of The Cross‘ also came from the same session. I always knew it would see the light of day and Thorsten reworked it and made it more in keeping with where we are today as a band. Back then, I had just read Dan Brown’s brilliant novel Angels & Demons and the lyrics are based around that whole story and protagonist Robert Langdon's darkest moments in the night hunting down the illuminati assassin. A lot of people assume that our own song 'Angels & Demons' is based on the book, but it is not."

Logue goes onto add, "Dan Brown is my favourite author and I have read every one of his books. They are a constant source of lyrical inspiration. I just love the way he goes in so deep to his subject matter and isn't afraid to tackle some difficult yet thought provoking subject matters. It is such brilliantly written fiction, that it's almost believable."

"Forever" lyric video:

Eden's Curse will team up with Mob Rules and Degreed for a tasty triple billing in the UK in April 2019.

"Mob Rules have been one of my favourite bands for many years and when we were putting the tour together with our booking agency, their brilliant new album Beast Reborn dropped and we also signed to the same Lucky Bob Music Agency. The omens were there and it just made perfect sense, as musically we are not too dissimilar and they haven't been to the UK in many years," says bassist Paul Logue.

Paul went onto add, "I had been hearing the name Degreed for a few years now, but never seen or heard them. Eventually I caught them opening for H.E.A.T last year and they were absolutely brilliant. We then followed them on the bill at MelodicRock Fest - Scandinavia in Sweden, earlier this summer, and I loved what I saw and kept them in mind as possible future touring partners. I'm really glad they accepted our offer. I think it makes it a brilliant package for the fans. Expect an evening of gigantic guitars, titanic choruses and fist pumping anthems!".
