It was released February 16, 2010 through Artery Recordings.[2] Upon its release, the album peaked at #21 on the Top Heatseekers chart.[3] Desolation of Eden features two re-recordings of the songs "Cheyne Stokes" and "Recreant" which were originally on the band's self-titled EP.

Style

Alex Henderson of AllMusic described the style of music on the album as deathcore; a "noisy, caustic, abrasive mixture of metalcore and death metal."[2]

Reception

AllMusic awarded the album three stars out of five, noting that it was not an album for everyone, but an audience "who do appreciate highly technical deathcore will find Desolation of Eden to be a likable (if less than stellar) contribution to metal's lunatic fringe."[2]
