Eclipse Eternal

Eclipse Eternal has been a force in this cosmic debris since the fall of 1999. Created by vocalist Voldamares, Eclipse Eternal quickly grew and branched out to envelope various other similar minded individuals. First came guitarist Alasydrs Kilgour. The two wrote, collaborated and incorporated numerous Satanic rites into aural chaos that was formed into a cohesive music format. After many seasons and numerous lineup changes, including Alasydrs own departure, Eclipse Eternal finally bared fruit in the summer of 2004 with the lineup of Voldamares on Vocals, Lord Abaddon on Guitars, Bass and Keys and Wulfgar on drums. The resulting album was a much different format than what was originally aimed at. It turned out to be a symphonic Black Metal album of anti-biblical proportions. Co-Produced by Glen Drover (Ex-King Diamond/Megadeth/Eidolon ) and recorded at Glens own Eclipse Studios, the album was well received in the scene and a landmark for the band. The album was aptly titled "Reign Of The Unholy Blackened Empire" and was released in the spring of 2005 in North America on Galy Records. After fifety plus shows promoting the album including opening slots for such bands as Dimmu Borgir, Enslaved, Behemoth and Dark Funeral, Eclipse Eternal set about remaking itself once again. And from the ashes of the old a new beast shall rise. With an expanded line-up including Trozambach (now named Carver) ..boards and Rose Sodomy on bass, the band set about recording their most challenging album to date. "Ubermensch: Evolution Beyond The Species" was the result. Recorded during the spring of 2007 the album was mixed in Sweden by Fredrik Nordstrom in Studio Fredman (Dimmu Borgir, Opeth, Zyclon) and released indenendantly in March of 2008. It is a both a tribute to Nietzsche and to the strength of character that is created by destruction. Having grown in both wisdom and inner strength this album is set to open many eyes and expand many minds. To accompany the album, Dark Frame Pictures, have created the first Eclipse Eternal video for the song "The Dragon Has Come To Blot Out The Stars". Shot by high definition director Adrian Kent over four cold Canadian winter days it is a show of deadication and shear will that the 7 minute long video came into being. Now with the addition of new bassist Orcus, replacing Rose Sodomy, Eclipse Eternal prepares to once again take to the stage and show the world what it represents. Eclipse Eternal is not typical stagnating Black Metal, it is a forward thinking hammer to the face of all preconceptions. With one foot firmly planted in Black Metals idealogical roots Eclipse Eternal marches relentlessly forward into the abyss of the mind always attempting to create something new and unique. Hail the new age.
