Eden founding members Sean Bowley and Pieter Bourke began a song writing partnership in Melbourne, Australia in 1988. Eden’s initial 12 inch EP "The Light Between Worlds" was released in 1990 on Nightshift Records, Scotland.
The EP caught the attention of BBC Radio’s John Peel who featured tracks on his show, 
resulting in rapid support of Eden by The Alternative Press Magazine in the USA.
In 1991 Eden moved to London based label Third Mind who continued to grow the band’s profile in Europe and the USA with the release of Eden’s first full length CD "Gateway To The Mysteries" in 1992.
In 1993 Eden joined the roster of Projekt Records, releasing "Healingbow" (1993) and "Fire And Rain" (1995).
The same year Eden released a CD of remixes and rarities titled "Earthbound".
In live performance they have shared the stage in Australia and overseas with Love Spirals Downward, Lycia,  
Rowland S. Howard, These Immortal Souls, Underground Lovers, Attrition, Heligoland, Ostia and countless others. 
Eden undertook a promotional visit to the UK (1990) and an extensive tour of live dates in the USA (1996).
After two decades of silence, in June 2017 Eden went to Germany, 
joining The Mission, Skinny Puppy and She Past Away performing at Wave-Gotik-Treffen Festival in Leipzig.  
Eden's performance was combined with the release of their eighth album "The Edge Of Winter".
The album was recorded by Adam Calaitzis and produced at Melbourne’s Toyland Studios.
"The Edge Of Winter" delivers on the promise of the distinctively diverse, uniquely sumptuous sonic palette  
Eden has long been known for, spanning darkwave, neo-psychedelic and ethereal genres and featuring the reknown sublime eastern-tinged baritone vocals of Sean Bowley.
Their current line up features Sean Bowley (Vocals, 6 & 12 String Guitars, Keyboards),  
Andrew Kutzer (12 String Guitar) and Matthew Sigley (Bass Guitar, Drum Machine and Keyboards).
