***Eden Fire*** is the debut album by Swedish [heavy metal](/source/Heavy_metal_music) band [Sonic Syndicate](/source/Sonic_Syndicate). It is their first and only album to be released through the American record label, [Pivotal Rockordings](/source/Pivotal_Rockordings).[1] The album was recorded and mixed at [Studiomega](/source/Studiomega) from February 2005 to June 2005 by Christian Silver and Manne Engström. The album was re-released on December 9, 2008, via Pivotal Rockordings/Koch in North America and Canada. Because of this, the album would sell over 10,000 copies by the end of 2010.[2] It was also the last record by the band before parting ways with drummer Kristoffer Bäcklund and pianist Andreas Mårtensson.

## Album background

The album is made up of three different segments and each segment has a continuous theme/concept throughout its tracks.[3] Two of those segments consist of the previous demos *[Black Lotus](/source/Black_Lotus_(demo))* and *[Extinction](/source/Extinction_(demo))*. The songs from those demos were re-worked and re-recorded for this album. The other segment, "Helix Reign" consists of three new tracks.
