The earliest incarnation of Under Eden came together late in 2000, with no particular goal beyond completing a demo recording. This would see the light of day as "Songs from the Savage Circle" in early 2003. Live gigs commenced at the end of that year, and the band signed with the independent Greek label Black Lotus Records in 2004. Under Eden's debut album "The Savage Circle" was released internationally in June `05, but was initially available only as an import in the United States until BLR changed distribution in 2006. Unfortunately, the label was dissolved and its inventory liquidated within a few months, leaving the band without a label or a supply of its own CDs. Plans for a follow-up release were put on indefinite hold. Despite this setback, songwriting continued and new songs were introduced over the next few live dates, with three of them being combined with two remixed earlier tracks for the "Phoenix on Frozen Wings" EP released in 2008. The next album, "The Science of Self-Defeat," was released digitally in June 2011 with the CD version coming later in the summer from Sleazsy Rider Records of Greece.
