Femmes Fatales is the second studio album by international symphonic metal group Exit Eden, released by Napalm Records on 12 January 2024. [1]
The album received mostly positive reviews. Tuonela Magazine described the album: "On their sophomore album, "Femmes Fatales," the trio – Clémentine Delauney (Visions of Atlantis), Anna Brunner (League of Distortion), and Marina La Torraca (Phantom Elite) – decided to branch out and try their hand at some original compositions to complement the covers. One of its greatest strengths is undoubtedly the top-notch vocals that showcase the singers at their absolute best, and their combined effort is spectacular, to say the least. The symphonic aspect also helps elevate the material and make "Femmes Fatales" a rewarding listening for fans of the genre, while the diversity of moods and soundscapes adds to the playability factor."
