Half Life

Long-awaited 2013 album from this Gothic-Prog Rock band. The Eden House is a collaborative project based around the nucleus of Stephen Carey, ex-Adoration, and Tony Pettitt, the Fields of the Nephilim founder bassist. The pair have attracted an eclectic selection of guest artists on their recordings, each adding their diverse talents to the music. Half Life utilizes six female lead vocalists, including Lee Douglas (from Anathema), Jordan Reyne, Laura Bennett and Monica Richards (of US band Faith & the Muse). Guesting musicians include guitarists Phil Manzanera (Roxy Music) and Simon Hinkler (The Mission) along with top violinist Bob Loveday.
