Ending ten months of speculation after an arduous audition process, the band are proud to announce Serbian vocalist Nikola Mijic as their new front man. The introducing video can be viewed below.<\/p>\n<p>Hailing from Senta, in the North of Serbia, Nikola is a vastly experienced singer despite his tender years. For the past ten years he has been fronting Serbian outfit Alogia and more recently Hungarian Prog Rockers Dreyelands, who released their debut album on Lion Music in 2010. In 2008 he also featured heavily on the Prog Rock project album Expedition Delta.<\/p>\n<p>A happy Nikola said \u201cI\u2019m really honored to be part of the Metal journey of Eden\u2019s Curse with their new upcoming album that is coming out on 4th October and I\u2019m looking forward to rock with you guys\u201c!<\/p>\n<p>Drummer Pete Newdeck commented \u201cFor me, when I heard a lot of the auditions, Nik\u2019s was the one that stood out. It stood out mainly because of it\u2019s originality. His voice was strong, it was soulful and he had something different to offer. That\u2019s really why I championed him because I think he could offer something different, change the face of the band and possibly help this band move forward\u201c.<\/p>\n<p>Bassist Paul Logue added \u201cWhen Nik sent his audition of Evil &#038; Divine that\u2019s when we really began to sit up and take notice and say that this guy was something special. He is the complete package\u201c.<\/p>\n<p>Guitarist Thorsten Koehne enthused \u201cHe\u2019s just an amazing talent, one of the most amazing singers I\u2019ve seen in recent times. He\u2019s just so versatile in what he can do and he just fits the band perfect because with Eden\u2019s Curse we\u2019re very diverse, as far as the music, so there\u2019s not just one particular style that we are doing. So we were really looking for a singer that could keep up with that and have a range in his vocals. Nikola is just perfect because he can do so many things, from blues to metal stuff and everything in between\u201c.<\/p>\n<p>Also joining the EDEN\u2019S CURSE ranks is Welsh keyboard wizard and Powerquest main man Steve Williams who replaces Alessandro Del Vecchio.<\/p>\n<p>Bassist Paul Logue commented \u201cSadly we we part company with our brother Alessandro on a truly positive note as his career as a mixing engineer and a producer has really taken off, meaning less and less time could be devoted to the Eden\u2019s Curse cause. We will miss him dearly as a friend and a musician and we wish him nothing but the utmost success. We firmly believe he has the talent to go right to the very top! He will always be considered a part of the Eden\u2019s Curse family and is cursed for life\u201c.<\/p>\n<p>Williams, a former member of Dragonforce, commented \u201cIt was a real thrill to be asked by Paul and the boys to get involved in Eden&#8217;s Curse. I&#8217;ve been a fan for a long time, I&#8217;ve known the guys a while and it\u2019s great to be here getting myself right cursed I can tell you&#8221;!<\/p>\n<p>Bassist Paul Logue further commented \u201cI\u2019ve known Steve for a while and when Ale left he recommended we look at Steve. It was very easy choice for us, as we were already good friends and with Powerquest calling it a day it was a perfect time in both our careers to join forces. Steve is a smashing player and one of life\u2019s true gentlemen. He is an utter joy to have on board and I am genuinely excited to see what we can produce together in the years to come as I am a big fan of his songwriting\u201c.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSource: Lambgoat<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/edenscurseofficial\">http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/edenscurseofficial<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multinational melodic metallers EDEN&#8217;S CURSE are delighted to announce their new line up.
