FROM LATEST STUDIO ALBUM “MEGALOMANIUM II” OUT NOW VIA FRONTIERS MUSIC SRL BUY/LISTEN HERE
Swedish rockers Eclipse are thrilled to unveil their new official video “All I Want”, taken from their latest studio album “Megalomanium II”, out now via Frontiers Music Srl.
The band invites the audience to dive into the atmosphere of the music video, by saying: “There is an ancient evil lurking in the forest just outside of Stockholm. Naturally, we sent our finest outdoorsy personnel to investigate… Prepare your battle axes and morning stars, this one comes from beyond the grave.”
“Maybe it’s just the season we’re in, but I think sonically this song has sort of an end-of-summer vibe. Driving home from wherever, on that last sunny weekend before the regular routine starts back up. Lyrically, however, a completely different story!”, adds Erik Mårtensson, talking about the song.
Eclipse, the heavy rock powerhouse out of Stockholm, are renowned for their signature sound of massive hooks and stellar musicianship, quickly becoming one of Sweden's largest heavy rock bands with well over 100 million streams on streaming services.
Following on from the release of “Megalomanium” last September and, most recently, of the exclusive 7’’ vinyl “Apocalypse Blues” and the single “Falling To My Knees”, the band's trajectory to craft memorable anthems is bound to stay intact.
Erik Mårtensson commented on the upcoming release: “If you thought the title of our previous record was proof of us suffering from delusions of grandeur, then you’re absolutely right. The only way we could top it was to make another one. Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you, Megalomanium II.”
“This band is on a continuous journey trying to find new avenues to explore. Having said that, Megalomanium II is probably closer to what people mostly associate Eclipse with. It’s filled to the brim with large choruses, beautiful melodies and some amazing guitar playing. I’m totally unbiased, by the way” guitarist Magnus Henriksson continued.
Eclipse have been making increasingly larger waves on the European and American rock scene over the last years. With tours ranging from South America to Australia and Japan, these guys are a force to be reckoned with which festival goers of Wacken, Alcatraz, Summer Breeze to name but a few will be very aware of by now.
At its core Eclipse is a heavy rock band with an appeal that transcends genres. In addition to their numerous headline tours, Eclipse has also opened for a wide range of bands over the years including Aerosmith, My Chemical Romance and Def Leppard to name a few. With their unique sound, Eclipse are one of Sweden's most influential heavy rock bands.
After a sold out headline tour across Europe at the end of 2023, the band continues to fill their busy live schedule in 2024. Following a successful run in Japan and South America, Eclipse are currently touring across Europe and will be headed to central Europe and the US after the summer, with additional dates to be added as the year moves on.
