Band Biographies: Banished From Eden
Banished From Eden was formed during the pandemic by guitarists Ger O'Riordan(nephew of the legendary Dolores O'Riordan of Irish rock group 'The Cranberries') and Aaron O'Neill (both formerly of Zephire), who began exchanging riffs throughout the lockdown. We later collaborated with Ocean McCormack, guitarist from the well-known Irish band War of Attrition, as part of "The All Ireland Metal Project," which involved over 150 Irish artists. After writing together, we completed our lineup with ex-New Age Messiah vocalist Darragh Byrne and drummer Cian Hehir. Following Cian's departure, we welcomed ex-Zephire drummer Dylan O'Shea to the team. Each member brings over a decade of experience in the Irish metal scene, contributing to our dynamic sound.
Our music features melodic thrash riffing paired with a mid-tempo groove, drawing influence from legendary acts such as Overkill, Slayer, My Dying Bride, Black Sabbath, Lamb of God, Machine Head, and Pantera.
We recently recorded our debut EP, Primordial Salvation, at Rekondra Studios in Galway. The EP explores themes of persecution by religious zealots, propaganda, and resistance against tyranny. Since its release on October 4, 2024, the EP has received an overwhelmingly positive response, with features on established playlists and over two thousand streams across platforms within the first week. Additionally, our debut performance on September 20, 2024, at The Cellar Bar sold out, and we have since received numerous gigging offers across Ireland.
