Lost Eden was a melodic death metal group originating from Japan, established in 2000. Their first full-length album, Cycle Repeats, was issued by Candlelight Records in 2006, earning them recognition beyond their home country before their disbandment in 2009.
History
The founding members consisted of Norio, Adachi, Run, Daisuke, and drummer Chang. In 2002, two of their tracks were featured on the Japanese compilation SURPLUS SUPPRESSION 3.
In 2003, Chang transitioned from drums to guitar, while Sensyu joined as the new drummer, increasing the band's guitarists to three. That year, they released their initial 4-track EP titled SEWN MOUTH FOREST, which fused elements of black metal and hardcore punk, followed by a nationwide tour.
One of their tracks was included in the 2004 compilation METAL OSTENTATION Vol.6. After Chang left the band, guitarist Cab was recruited, steering the group's style more firmly into melodic death metal territory.
By 2005, Lost Eden had contributed songs to the compilations EARTHQUAKE A.G.M and EXTREME GENERATION. Following Cab's departure, Mako took over guitar duties, restoring the lineup to two guitarists. During that winter, they produced a 2-track demo featuring keyboard arrangements.
This demo caught the attention of Candlelight Records based in London, resulting in a recording contract in early 2006 and the subsequent release of Cycle Repeats.
After the band dissolved in 2009, Norio and Mako went on to establish Each of the Days.
