Eden Fire is comprised of ten tracks broken down into three different segments. The praise for the band's previous two EPs Black Lotus and Extinction was so high that the band felt it necessary to include the works on their debut release so that all the masses could get a chance to hear the material, since the EPs are now out of print. The songs were re-worked in order to meet the band's new standards and the tracks were completely re-recorded along with three brand new tracks. The result is an album broken down into three segments, the "Helix Reign - Chronicals of a Broken Covenant" section, the "Extinction - A Sinwar Quadrilogy" section, and the "Black Lotus - The Shadow Flora" section. Each segment has a continuous theme/concept throughout its tracks.
Listeners will no doubt wonder why in the world Sonic Syndicate wasn't signed to a major record label. The possibility to sign the band was largely responsible for the creation of Pivotal Rockordings, the record label they signed with. Upon asking the owners of the record label what they think about Eden Fire, "we couldn't possibly have put out a better first release" tends to be the exact response.
