Stu Marshall Closes The Book On Empires Of Eden, Announces Best-Of Album

Following the release of fourth album "Architect of Hope," it seems there's no hope to be had for any upcoming Empires of Eden material. Stu Marshall comments on laying the band to rest:

"I am announcing here that I will not be making anymore Empires of Eden albums. The decision comes for many reasons, one most importantly that I think the series has run its course and, unless an artist has something new to say, they best leave their prior works do the talking.

"To say I am grateful for your support is an understatement. The amazing people and opportunities this (EOE) thing spawned for me is incredible. Without EOE, Death dealer and my new band Blasted to static would never have been born.

"So first, thank you for following. The 4 albums will remain a set for me. Very special in many ways. Each album contains pure performances from some incredible talent. The good news is the music output from me is increasing... two bands both with global touring plans and releases. Death Dealer releases our second album this year with European touring staring next week and, Blasted to Static’s debut will be completed soon with early 2016 touring planned.

"The fact is, I am busier now than I have ever been and, if I do release anything in the future on my own it will be under the 'Stu Marshall' name as opposed to EOE.

"The thanks list for a farewell is SO long guys – if you have had a hand in Empires of Eden I wish to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. It’s been an incredible pleasure to make each album with the field of talent. Mostly, my brother Jasix for his long term work on the band and everything associated with it.

"One final thing I will do is release a best of album, something I am truly excited about. This will be late 2016 and possibly into 2017. Sad to say goodbye, happy to embrace a new dawn."
