In the year 2002 the Sjunnesson brothers formed a melodic metal band called Fallen Angels. This band was the result of the brothers not
being allowed to act out their musical view in a loosely hanging former project, and therefore, a decision was made to move on. In Fallen
Angels the brothers made sure to surround themselves with likeminded people—people who not only shared their musical vision, but also

In the year 2002 the Sjunnesson brothers formed a melodic metal band called Fallen Angels. This band was the result of the brothers not
being allowed to act out their musical view in a loosely hanging former project, and therefore, a decision was made to move on. In Fallen
Angels the brothers made sure to surround themselves with likeminded people—people who not only shared their musical vision, but also
whom they trusted.
Fallen Angels persistently worked their way from their hometown in Falkenberg, on the west coast of Sweden, into the underground of their
country with convincingly striking power. During the Fallen Angels era, they toured the underground diligently and also released three
demos, which included Fall from Heaven 2003, Black Lotus 2003, and ultimately Extinction 2004. The rumors of Fallen Angels spread
outside the boundaries of Sweden quickly. As a result, their effort of Extinction began to dig its vicious hooks into Scandinavia, Europe, and
across the Atlantic Ocean. In 2004 The American label, Pivotal Rockordings, inked a deal with Fallen Angels to record their debut album.
The debut album of Fallen Angels was entitled Eden Fire. The framework of the LP consisted of re-recordings of the demos Extinction and
Black Lotus. They also introduced three new, steaming fresh songs to the mix. Since Eden Fire summed up a vast time era of different
musical styles, it was decided to separate the songs on the album into chapters, in order to not confuse the listener. Eden Fire started off
with the three new songs, and progressed faithfully with an accurate time line denoting when each demo was created.
During the recording of the album, Fallen Angels coincidentally encountered a very peculiar figure, which came to be an important force later
on in their career. His name was Roland Johansson. He was not only a man with a huge amount of character, and a chronic flow of practical
jokes, but also a man with a spectacularly powerful, melodic voice. On the debut album Fallen Angles wanted to introduce clean vocals. This
was a bearing concept of four out of ten songs on the album. Roland was called in to shoulder this request. « hide |
