Set The Dark On Fire

Set The Dark On Fire is a 2026 work EDENBRIDGE refined around symphonic metal’s fantastical beauty and melodic metal’s clear elation. The guitar keeps a measured weight, and orchestral expanse and keyboards give the songs a transparent depth. Even after a long career, the band’s musical fullness has not dimmed in the least. On “The Ghostship Diaries,” “Cosmic Embrace,” “Set The Dark On Fire” and “Our Place Among The Stars,” the clear voice rings like a flame illuminating darkness, beautifully expressing the contrast the title holds. In the suite “Spark Of The Everflame,” a grand, dramatic development unfolds. Without leaning too far into grandeur, at the center of the songs there is always accessible melody. Sounding grace and strength at the same temperature, it is an EDENBRIDGE-style symphonic-metal work.
