LATEST NEWSJuly 14, 2026IOE7 IS WELL ON ITS WAY!:We are now officially firing on all cylinders… Nothing.... absolutely NOTHING can shake us up or stop us, no matter what is thrown at us! After multiple family deaths, heart surgery, random illnesses (band and family), etc, we are coming back stronger and harder than ever, and with thicker and more durable armor! Life may have gotten in the way and even slowed us down a hair at times, but now it is time to get back on the horse with swords drawn and shields up! "When the devil tries to knock you down, stare him in the eye and remind him who wears the crown". April 9, 2026CHAPTER-I REVIEW (25th Anniversary):A big thanks to Stefan Sileghem at Powerloaded Mag for the great interview. We dive into the history of Images of Eden, behind the scenes moments and updates on the upcoming 7th album. March 5, 202625TH ANNIVERSARY RELEASE OF CHAPTER I (Free Download):In celebration of its 25th anniversary, we’re making the debut Images of Eden album available as a free digital download for the entire month of March. Download the full album as a ZIP file HERE, or if you’d prefer a WeTransfer link, just email promo@imagesofeden.com and we’ll send it your way. It is hard to believe that the debut album (later referred to as “Chapter I”) turns 25 today (release date of March 5, 2001). With the help of a session drummer (Steve Kilgallon), Gordon recorded the entire album from fall of 1999 through late 2000, playing all of the instruments and doing all of the vocals. The hope was that this album would help him form the live lineup. According to Gordon, “I didn’t plan on naming the band Images of Eden. This was just supposed to be the album title, but when my wife suggested it as the band name, it was a no-brainer since it totally fit what I was writing about. This was also a very exciting time for me because I just beat a life-threatening addiction, met the woman who I was going to spend the rest of my life with, and jump-start a lifelong dream that was going to come true in due time.” All of these things are very present in the lyrics of the album. Chapter I became the launchpad for the first official incarnation of the live lineup of Images of Eden. While the release was primarily digital, a very small number of physical copies were pressed—and those have long since sold out. TRACK LISTING: 1- Stealth 2- Tied To A Wish 3- Return To Twilight 4- September 5- Brave Horse 6- Jade's Dream 7- Dawn (Another Sunrise) 8- Edge Of The Ocean 9- Images Of Eden 10- Only In My World 11- One Last Hero 12- Autumn's End (The Last Sunset) 
December 23, 2025GORDON RELEASED FROM HOSPITAL (on the Road to Recovery):Gordon has been released from the hospital after undergoing heart surgery and is now at home resting with his family just in time for Christmas. Our brother is safe and healthy just needs to recover. Thank you all for the continued support it means the world to all of us especially Gordon!! Merry Christmas to all! December 19, 2025(Prayers Needed) GORDON TO UNDERGO HEART SURGERY (Friday Dec-19th):We wanted to let you all know about our fearless leader of IOE and dear friend Gordon who will be having aortic valve replacement surgery this Friday. He was diagnosed with Aortic Stenosis some years back where his valve has been slowly failing, and it is now to the point to where it has to be replaced. We ask that everyone please join us in sending up prayers for him and his wife! Fortunately, the surgery will be minimally invasive (as opposed to full-blown open-heart surgery). The recovery time is still going to be about 4-6 weeks and fortunately, the issue was discovered early enough that it can be fixed to the point where he will be back to 100%. It will just take time for him to regain full strength. So everyone please send your prayers and good vibes to a friend that gives so much to all. We love you Gordon!!!!!! Gordon states, “I have an important, unfinished job to do so I am not going anywhere. I also feel protected and I know I am being divinely guided through this entire process, so I am going to step into this boldly and let God’s will be done. I am not worried about anything. I am just grateful that we caught this early enough and that I can finally get this done and behind me. Unfortunately, I have not been at 100% for several years now and have had to keep a close eye on my exertion level to prevent any possible 'issues'. But, once I am given a clean bill of health, we will be finishing the best album of our careers and hitting the stage again as if nothing ever happened. Love you all and I am blessed beyond words!” We will be keeping you updated on his progress as we know more post-surgery. 
October 14, 2025IMAGES OF EDEN PARTS WAYS WITH KEYBOARDIST DEAN HARRIS:This is one of the most difficult announcements we have ever had to make! A message from Dean- “It is with a sad heart that I bring you this news regarding Images of Eden. As of this moment, IOE and I have parted ways. Please understand that this is an amicable split and I wish the guys in IOE nothing but the best for the upcoming album and any future tours. IOE has allowed me to see and do things that not too long ago I could only dream about. I am very grateful to all of them for giving me the opportunity to literally live out that dream & for being able to do what I love for such a large audience. I will certainly miss the brotherhood and camaraderie that goes along with being in a band of this stature. I do want to keep this somewhat brief so in closing I want to add that I can only hope our paths will cross again some day one way or another.” We could not have said it better! Dean has been the most dedicated, professional and ideal bandmate for the last 16 years and we could never have asked for anything more! He is and will ALWAYS be a lifelong brother to us as well as a major part of the IOE family. Dean joined the band in early 2009 just before the recording began for our 3rd album, “Rebuilding The Ruins” and has put a huge thumbprint on the IOE sound ever since. We wish him the utmost success and prosperity in his future endeavors. He deserves it! Thanks for an amazing ride, Dean! We love you, brother, and you will be missed! 
September 1, 2025MAJOR THANKS FOR A SUCCESSFUL TOUR!:A huge shout out to everyone who made our 2025 “Hometown Tour” a success. We cannot possibly thank you enough for making this an unforgettable experience. It is always difficult departing at the end of a tour and having to take the trek home, and it felt even more difficult this time than in the past. It is a bittersweet time of reflection and melancholy while we all try to ride the “afterglow” wave as long as possible. Each of us had to say goodbye to our tight-knit band of brothers who just went to war together and lived the dream to its absolute max, something we always dreamed would hopefully happen one day! As you can imagine. it is very hard to describe the intense emotion of touring and the bond you form with each other. This is something we did not expect as kids when dreaming of this life. Each night on stage is a massive surge of adrenaline and power that we cannot easily shake off, then after the show, we are hit with a surge of humility and gratitude when meeting fans and friends, taking pics, signing CDs, LPs, shirts, etc. These people are the real heroes for us because they allow us to do what we have dreamed of doing our entire lives. We love you all. Please do not forget this. Now off to finish writing and recording our 7th album! We will keep you posted. Gordon, Steve, Jeff, Eric and Dean March 16, 2025IMAGES OF EDEN ANNOUNCES SUMMER HEADLINING MINI-TOUR:We are very excited to be able to announce our first headlining tour! This August, we will be taking a break from recording our 7th album to hit the road for a short, Hometown tour. This will feature a couple of key cities, ending at Immortal Fest in Versailles, OH. Since this will be our first headlining tour, we wanted to start off with only a handful of dates to see how things go and to get an idea of what we can expect out on our own. Based on the success of this run, we will have a better gauge as to if we can draw enough to go on a full tour, or at least expand to more cities on our next outing. That said, we apologize if we cannot make it to your hometown this time. There are so many places we would still like to play that we have not been able to visit as of yet, but rest assured, we will make it happen! For dates, ticket information and showtimes, visit our TOUR page. We will see you on tour! Dates are as follows: August 23 - The 44 Sports Grill - Glendale, AZ (with Sectas & Empire of Dezire) August 26 - Red Brick Room - Wichita, KS (with Cymbiance & Love Like War) August 27 - Knuckleheads - Kansas City, MO (with Love Like War) August 29 - BMI Center - Versailles, OH (Immortal Fest 2025- Multi-Band Festival) (Click poster to enlarge) 
April 26, 2024IMAGES OF EDEN RELEASES NEW SINGLE- "HERE COMES THE SUN":The day has arrived! Today marks the worldwide release of our brand new single, a remake of the 1969 Beatles classic 'Here Comes the Sun'! We are also commemorating our one year anniversary from being dismissed from the 2023 European tour with WASP, which is the actual reason behind the recreation of this classic. This is our story of resilience from the pain, heartbreak and loss we suffered from that experience. We were all tested and yet we still found a way to come out with a positive swing. We are a brand new, stronger IOE that keeps growing and building while we prepare to record our new full-length album. We were not looking for a cover song to do by any means, but after returning home from Europe, we were searching for positivity and direction while sitting in the early morning darkness watching the sunrise. It was here where we were smacked in the face- 'Here Comes The Sun'! This tells the story of our resilience and provides a platform to explain what really happened on the 2023 WASP tour. Sometimes bad things need to happen in order for us to find a way to endure, learn and grow, and this provides a perfect opportunity to give the fans something meaningful and how we can all turn something negative into a bright positive light. You hope you enjoy our modern take on this well-known classic. Please support Images of Eden and this new single by downloading it today from any of the major platforms and shine some light back into your life! We love you ALL and here we come!

Jeff is a long-time veteran of the Baltimore, MD scene with decades of experience and will be a huge asset to the band!! Gordon states, I have had the privilege of sharing the stage with Jeff on several occasions a few years ago and was blown away by his guitar-playing ability and stage presence. I felt 100% connected and at home next to him on stage. Jeff brings a fresh, brand new stylized approach to the material along with an awesome positive attitude. We are very excited to embark on our next chapter and cannot wait to unleash new material with him on board. Please help us in welcoming Jeff into the Images of Eden family!! - Gordon, Steve, Dean & Eric

Official statement from the band... "Weathered And Torn is by far the heaviest, most aggressive Images of Eden release to date. It is our own personal reaction to the events that took place over the last few years, specifically with regards to COVID and how it affected our world. We did our best during this time to remain positive and to look for silver linings, but that was not always possible, especially after seeing how many lives have been negatively impacted, leaving wounds and scars that will need to be dealt with for years to come. Many of us were pushed beyond our breaking points, forcing us to react adversely, lashing out at each other. Even with a more aggressive delivery, Weathered And Torn still retains the signature IOE sound and message. Elements of strength, perseverance and hope for better days are all still at the forefront, but this time there is also an added urgency that we must stay vigilant, bond together and lift each other through darker times. Now go and be somebody s hero! Change a life! Begin today!

"The video we did for this song is totally EPIC!! We wanted to show the life struggles as a musician- the thankless job it is, the hard road, tough times and the heart and dedication it takes just to make it to the stage. I think we caught a REAL glimpse of that." - Steve D. Dorssom (Director) "We sort of received a 'nudge' or 'message' to do this song as an afterthought to the new 'Angel Born' record. Once we started recording/ filming, everything seemed to fall right into place and come together in a magical way! Triumph were tremendous in their day and this song has not been touched before so we thought it was the perfect song to do in 'IOE style'. It was definitely tough to cover but the message is exactly what we are all about and Fight The Good Fight is the most perfect anthem for the times we are facing in the world right now!"

April 23, 2020NEW VIDEO SINGLE, "AUTUMN IS BURNING" (from upcoming "Angel Born" album):We are extremely pleased to announce the release of our new video single, Autumn Is Burning (taken from our upcoming 5th studio album, Angel Born to be released later this year). This was the very last song written for the upcoming Angel Born album, and is about an increasingly volatile society that leads to an inevitable martial law/ police state. The idea for the song flooded out in September, 2019 as an afterthought , but due to the intensity of the concept, we decided to do a music video for it. In December, 2019, we laid out a full script (treatment) depicting one man s end times apocalyptic journey and how his faith and repenting leads him to safety. We were going to hold off and release this along with the Angel Born album but decided to release the video now due to its almost prophetic and haunting relevancy of the current state of the world in shutdown/ quarantine.

June 17, 2019IMAGES OF EDEN WELCOMES VICTOR MORELL ON LEAD GUITAR:We are very proud to announce that our brother, Victor Morell, has taken over the lead guitar duty for IMAGES OF EDEN so please take a moment to give Victor a big IOE welcome! Vic has a long history with us. Before joining IOE, he played guitar in Born Of Fire (where Gordon and Steve originally connected back in 2014). Before that, Steve had a 25 year band history with him in both Born of Fire and Psychic Pawn. We consider Victor a very close brother of many years and we cannot possibly be more proud to make this announcement. We are extremely excited to venture into this next chapter with him. Victor actually toured with Images of Eden this past spring to help us out on the road with equipment and (specifically) merchandise. Those of you who saw us on tour may have met him at the merchandise booth. He also shared the stage with us at 3 tour stops as a fill-in keyboard player when Dean Harris was unavailable. Not a cooler, more uplifting brother to have on the road. Welcome aboard, brother Vic!!! May 28, 2019SUCCESSFUL TOUR/ UPCOMING NEWS:We had an amazingly successful US tour with Metal Church and Doro in support of our album, "Soulrise". Matter of fact, it exceeded our expectations. No matter how greuling and stressful it happened to be at times (and believe me, it WAS), touring IS everything that it is cracked up to be. We gained a lot of new fans, friends and really made some serious waves! We cannot wait to do it all again. This being said, we are about to hit the studio in the next few weeks to start tracking the 5th IMAGES OF EDEN album, titled "Angel Born". However, before we track the new record, we are going to be doing a remake of a classic song (TBA). We will keep you posted. (pic of Images of Eden with Metal Church at The Machine Shop- Flint, MI)

December 12, 2017"Shield Me" Single to be released- 1/5/18"FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE- Images of Eden Announces New Single Release & Music Video- Shield Me . Phoenix, Arizona 12/11/2017 Images of Eden is releasing their first single, Shield Me on January 5, 2018 as an unsigned band while they shop record labels for a 2018 release of their full length CD, titled Soulrise , the long-awaited follow up to the 2011 release of Rebuilding The Ruins on Nightmare Records. The brand new album Soulrise was just recently completed December 2017 and was Produced by the legendary Bill Metoyer at Skull-Seven Studios in Hollywood, Ca. and is ready for pressing. When asked why there was such a delay between releases, vocalist Gordon Tittsworth replied, There were so many changes within Images of Eden, lineup and beyond, that it took some time to reform and regain our bearings. But, I can assure our fans that this is the strongest, most solid lineup ever and there will no longer be long delays in between releases. We even have the follow up album to Soulrise well on its way. The music video is set to be unveiled at the same time of the track's release which will feature a new, fine-tuned lineup of Images of Eden with a huge video production as well as a more modern, updated sound. Tittsworth also states, Our songwriting has evolved far beyond where I felt we were in 2011 and before. The earlier Images of Eden releases were primarily progressive hard rock/ metal, but our natural vibe/ feel has much more of a heavier, modern edge to it now, but still with our classic hard rock/ metal roots. We feel our sound is more accessible now to new fans and also to our current fan base. You will still know it is Images of Eden right away. Manager Steve Dorssom promises this latest news is only the tip of the iceberg with a new record label search underway, and that the band has already completed the writing for the 5th release, tentatively titled, Angel Born and will be recording the album over the course of 2018 alongside the release of Soulrise and 2018 supporting tour. Fans should expect to hear even bigger news from Images of Eden in the very near future, and should check in at the band's official website and social media for the latest announcements."
November 27, 2017"Artists In Action" ArticleHere is a great article on Images of Eden in Artists In Action by Stephanie Sheffield. November 26, 2017Video Production/ "Soulrise" UpdateImages of Eden just completed filming the video for the upcoming single, "Shield Me" to be released in early 2018 while the band shops labels to officially release "Soulrise". At this time, the band also did a professional photo shoot and filmed interview (for later promotion). Also, Bill Metoyer is putting the final touches on the final mixes for "Soulrise". We will keep you posted. October 26, 2017Images of Eden CD #5While Bill Metoyer has been wrapping up the mixing/ mastering of "Soulrise", all of the material for the follow up CD (tentatively titled, "Angel Born") has been completed and Gordon has already began tracking rhythm guitar. The band will be working on recording all instruments/ vocals for "Angel Born" in Q1/Q2 of 2018 so that it will be ready to go when the time comes. June, 2017New Material (for the 5th Images of Eden CD)Writing has already begun on the 5th Images of Eden CD (follow up to "Soulrise"). The goal is to complete the writing of the follow up CD so that we are ready to "pull the trigger" in a timely manner after the release of Soulrise. There will no longer be any extensive delays in between Images of Eden releases as there had been in the past. The main reasons for any/all delays were due to a) the reforming of the Images of Eden lineup, and b) Gordon had taken time out to record a few side project releases (Born of Fire- "Dead Winter Sun", etc). From here on, there will be no more side projects and 100% of all focus will be on Images of Eden. April, 2017Legendary producer, Bill Metoyer, to mix SoulriseImages of Eden is extremely pleased to have teamed up with legendary producer, Bill Metoyer (Skull Seven Studios) to mix and master "Soulrise". Bill is a 30 year veteran producer and worked for Metal Blade records for many years. He has worked with many well-known bands (Slayer, Fates Warning, WASP, Flotsam And Jetsam, etc). We are thrilled to have him on board!! September 2,2016IMAGES OF EDEN is wraping up demos for SOULRISEIt has been a long time coming. After some member changes this past summer, everything started moving forward again with great momentum. I can honestly say that this is the absolute best Images of Eden lineup to date. All members finally share the same vision, direction and level of motivation/ dedication. So, the demos for Soulrise are tracked and now currently being mixed to be submitted for release. We will keep you posted.
