David DeFeis also created his own recording studio called The Hammer of Zeus (sometimes also called The Wrecking Ball of Thor ). In September 2006, after 6 years without an all-new studio album, the band released its 11th full-length Visions of Eden . The album revolves heavily around Gnostic beliefs and critically revisits the traditional Christian mythology with regards to the creation of the Earth and the Biblical accounts of Adam and Eve . An even darker, more melancholic drama than the House of Atreus saga, the story revolves around Lilith , the first wife of Adam and a symbol of female strength and independence. Representing the female side of the true, higher god, she suffers under the lusting, jealous Demiurge who represents the Christian god, and as an emancipated woman who could not get along with the dominant Adam stands in stark contrast to Eve . Adam’s second wife is portrayed as a docile, subservient partner created by the demiurge at the request of Adam, who could not cope with an independent woman on equal footing with him.
