The band was foremd in 2000 with Norio, Adachi, Run, Daisuke, and former drummer Chang.
After much practice, in 2002, two of their songs were put on a Japanese compilation album, "SURPLUS SUPPRESSION 3".
In the spring of 2003, a new member, Sensyu, joined as their new drummer, and Chang became the bands new guitarist. Now with three guitarists in the band, they released their
debut 4-trackEP titled "SEWN MOUTH FOREST" and experimented withblack metal and hardcore. [ [http://www.livingformetal.com/albums/album.aspx?albumid=3213 LivingForMetal.com : Lost Eden - Sewn Mouth Forest (EP) ] ] Following the release, they went on a national tour.In 2004, another song was put on a compilation album, "METAL OSTENTATION Vol.6". Despite their moderate success, Chang decided to leave the band. The band hired new member, Cab, as guitarist. Due to this new line up change, the band decided to experiment more with a
melodic death metal sound.In 2005, the band, once again, found songs on compilation albums "EATTHQUAKE A.G.M" and "EXTREME GENERATION". Despite the success, Cab left the band. Soon after, Mako joined the group as a guitarist. This left them back to a two-guitarist band. In the winter of the same year, the band recorded a 2-track demo. This led to even more experimentation using keyboards. [ [http://www.decoymusic.com/vb/showthread.php?t=21857 Decoymusic.com - Lost Eden - Cycle Repeats ] ]
