History

The band was formed in 2017 by the American singer Amanda Somerville (Avantasia, Alice Cooper, Epica, HDK, Kiske/Somerville, Aina, Trillium), the Brazilian singer Marina La Torraca (Phantom Elite), the French singer Clémentine Delauney (Visions of Atlantis, ex-Serenity) and the German-American singer Anna Brunner (League of Distortion). [1] The band started posting in July 2017, in YouTube the first metal-cover clips from their debut album Rhapsodies in Black, which reached thousands of views within a few days and hit No. 15 in the German album charts. [2]

Several musicians, sound engineers and producers from the metal scene, like Simone Simons (Epica), Hardy Krech, Mark Nissen, Johannes Braun (Kissin' Dynamite), Jim Müller (Kissin' Dynamite), Sascha Paeth (Avantasia, Edguy, Kamelot), Evan K (Mystic Prophecy) have cooperated for the album release. Live musicians have included Evan K (guitars) and Mark Moody (keyboards)

On 20 October 2023, Somerville released a statement, in which she announced new material for an upcoming release and that she would step down from the band to focus on her three children. [3] The other members confirmed that they will continue without replacing her. Four days later, Exit Eden released their new single "Run!". Femme Fatales, the band's second studio album was released on January 12, 2024 and contained the band's own songs for the first time. [4]
