The splendid debut of the young band from Ukraine, that claims to be "Gothic/Doom metal Discovery of the Year 2012"!

You can hear some influences of Draconian, Doom:VS, Saturnus, Swallow The Sun, Tristania and Sirenia, 'cause musicians of Edenian are inspired by these various bands. Atmospheric keyboards, heavy guitars, famous male/female vocal scheme "beauty and the beast" and clean male voice, lyrics that based on the classic English poetry – all that makes "Winter Shades" the superior album for die-hard fans of this genre.
