Edenic Past

Edenic Past was founded in May 2020 by Nicholas McMaster to explore political and personal themes through a studio-only brutal death metal band with programmed drums. Handling said drums, bass, and song structures himself, he asked long-time collaborators and friends Colin Marston and Paulo Henri Paguntalan to write and play guitar and vocals, respectively. Marston has also engineered, mixed, and mastered every recording. The views expressed on this website in exposition of the themes for Edenic Past's songs should be taken as McMaster's views alone, not necessarily speaking for the other members. All writings by McMaster except where noted.

The name Edenic Past refers to refers to a core element of fascism: the appeal to an imaginary before-time which is nebulously defined but was better than the present (more often referred to in political writings as the "mythic past").

Edenic Past's vocals do not contain lyrics.
