EDEN'S CURSE Covers DIO, DOKKEN Classics; Audio Samples Available

Multinational melodic metal band EDEN'S CURSE has paid tribute to the memory of vocal legend Ronnie James Dio by recording a rendition of the DIO classic "Rock 'N' Roll Children", which is set to be included on all territorial releases of the band's third studio album, "Trinity", due out in mid-March.

In a statement released on May 16, 2010 — the day of Dio's passing — EDEN'S CURSE vocalist Michael Eden said, "I loved Ronnie beyond words and have decided with the members of EDEN'S CURSE to include one of Ronnie's metal gems in tribute to his loving memory which will appear on our third release, 'Trinity'." He added that "today is my worst fear realized. I've lost my favorite singer and a guy I'll always consider a friend. Ronnie James Dio was the singer's singer. Heart, soul and an aggressive energy that no singer could touch."

EDEN'S CURSE also recorded a cover version of a song from one of the group's "biggest influences," which has also now been identified as the DOKKEN classic "Unchain The Night". EDEN'S CURSE's rendition of the track be included on the Japanese release of "Trinity", due on March 16 via Spiritual Beast.

Commented EDEN'S CURSE bassist and chief songsmith Paul Logue: "Unashamedly, DOKKEN, along with QUEENSRŸCHE and PINK CREAM 69, have been the three bands whom we built the basis of the EDEN'S CURSE sound around. We missed bands that created that kind of music, and we tried to get as close to that sound and vibe as possible."

When it came to providing a bonus track for the Japan release, Logue explained there was one unanimous choice. "Absolutely!" he said. "It's a song we jammed at rehearsals or soundchecks and we always said, 'We should record this.' I'm so glad we eventually did."

Logue went onto comment on the proposed DOKKEN reunion plans. "Don [Dokken] and George [Lynch] need to kiss and make up! The hard rock world is a brighter place with DOKKEN around."

One-minute audio samples of EDEN'S CURSE's cover versions of DIO's "Rock 'N' Roll Children" and DOKKEN's "Unchain The Night" are available for streaming on the EDEN'S CURSE Facebook page.
