Swedish melodic rock band was formed in Stockholm in 1999 by singer Erik Mårtensson. After having produced a 4 track demo himself, he landed a deal with the English located Z records. To produce what was to become the first Eclipse album,he completed the line-up with Magnus Henriksson (Lead Guitar) & Anders Berlin (Drums & Keys). The first album "The Truth & a little more" was completed and released in 2001 on Z records. It also included guest performances by the legendary Europe guitarist Kee Marcello and Mats Olausson (ex Yngwie Malmsteen) In 2003 they landed a deal with Frontiers records and released their 2:nd album “Second To None” which was a highly critically acclaimed album among the melodic rock audience. This time the line-up featured Erik Mårtensson, Magnus Henriksson, Fredrik Folkare (bass), Magnus Ulfstedt (drums) and Mats Olausson was once again hired as a “stunt-keyboardplayer” in the studio. The album promised to appeal to all fans of such bands as Talisman and Europe due to the heavy guitar approach and the big melodies of their songwriting. Also this record got very well reviewed in the melodic rock audience and created a faithful and strong following for the band. Due to difficulties within the band and line-up changes again, the band took a couple of years off and it wouldn’t be until the summer of 2007 before they started working again. Erik Mårtensson & Magnus Henriksson (who were the surviving members of the band) took 1 week off and wrote the entire album in those seven days. Once they knew what direction to head for, it was quite easy. This time the band had gone for a straighter, classic and riff oriented hard rock. The title for their next release on Frontiers records will be “Are you ready to rock” and the new rock steady line-up of 2008 features Erik Mårtensson, Magnus Henriksson, Robert Bäck – drums and Johan Berlin – Keyboard. And they are ready!
The a cappella vocal band is a six-man group with a first published album ("Once") in 2001.
The Hungarian band was formed in 1990 by Tamás Tisza – guitar, Tamás Barna – guitar and Attila Hudák – bass. Later on Attila Szarvas – drums joined the band. Their music contains elements of psychedelic rock, doom and jazz music. These elements are recognizable in the harmonies and structural setting up of the songs.
They released two demos and two full length albums ("Soft Orange" in 1997 and "Slowsonic" in 2006). Both releases are free to download at their official site.
Matt Lee, a.k.a. Gammer, made his first appearance in the hardcore scene during 2002 and went on to be a very successful and prolific producer, best known for his extensive discography on the revamped Essential Platinum label.

Spencer, Innovate and DJ Seduction. In addition, he has remixed tracks from various artists including Cortina, A.M.S. and Ham under his alias Eclipse. Aside from his vinyl and digital download releases, his music appears on many albums, including the highly successful Bonkers series.

20) Eclipse formed in 1999. That August, the group released its first demo, "I", although shortly after its release, Eclipse had its first lineup change when drummer Ma- left. He wasn't immediately replaced, and Eclipse then released their second demo, "II", in October of 1999, to rough sales. In December of 1999, the group released its first single, which was self-titled and live-distributed only, and in March of 2000, Eclipse released their third demo, "III", which had rough sales as well. In May of 2000, bassist Satoru officially joined, and the group then rereleased their first demo, "I", that summer under their new lineup. In November of 2000, Eclipse released its first mini-album, "Eclipse-Zero", which was an absolute flop in the visual underground, and copies are extremely scarce to find today as a result. Eclipse pushed onward, however, and later appeared on the "Make an Epoch 2" omnibus in June of 2001, before running into yet another lineup change that September when Satoru and one of the guitarists of the group, Hiderin, left. While Satoru was not replaced, Hiderin was replaced by Shuji, and Eclipse went on to tour throughout the remainder of 2001 and the first half of 2002 heavily, but eventually ended up disbanding in the summer of 2002. Shuji and frontman Non both retired from the visual scene after the group split and formed the indies group Trick2Soul, which they were both active in until it eventually split in 2008. After Trick2Soul split, Non then retired from the underground music scene in general, while Shuji went on to join the indies group Eternalnote, which also split in 2010. After Eternalnote split, Shuji then retired from the underground music scene as well.
A Bitter Taste
Eclipse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you say you have regrets
Asking for forgiveness
From now on you will commit
Promises been broken
Every lie has seen the day
Hail mary cannot save you
A bitter taste
Painted pretty pictures
About a future paradise
Try to sound angelic
You're the devil in disguise
Now all your little white ones
Gets blacker every day
Crying for salvation
All your screaming leaves
A bitter taste
Trust is shot to pieces
Broken hearts will never mend
Money's not the answer
Nor your high rolling friends
Everything's returning
To where it starded from
I don't know if you know it
Your endeavour leaves
A bitter taste
In Eclipse's song "A Bitter Taste," the lyrics describe a situation where someone is apologizing for their past behavior, but it's too little too late. The person is promising to change their ways and be better from now on, but they have already broken too many promises and told too many lies. The song implies that the singer has lost all trust in this person, and the apologies just leave a bitter taste in their mouth.
The lyrics use religious imagery to add to the emotional weight of the situation. The mention of a "Hail Mary" not being able to save the person implies that they have made egregious mistakes that cannot be simply forgiven. The idea of "painted pretty pictures" and trying to "sound angelic" suggests that the person has been manipulative and deceptive.
The final lines of the song show that the singer has already moved on and is not interested in salvaging the relationship. The person's "endeavor leaves a bitter taste," implying that their attempts at making things right are futile. The song is a powerful reflection on the consequences of broken trust and the limits of forgiveness.
Line by Line Meaning
So you're telling me you're sorry
You apologize for your wrongdoings
And you say you have regrets
You express sadness or disappointment over past actions
Asking for forgiveness
You request to be pardoned for your mistakes
From now on you will commit
You promise to change your ways and act differently in the future
Promises been broken
You failed to keep your word in the past
Every lie has seen the day
Your deceptions have been revealed and exposed
Hail mary cannot save you
No amount of prayer or religious appeal can absolve you of your guilt
Your confession leaves
Even though you admitted to your wrongdoings...
A bitter taste
...it still leaves a negative, unpleasant feeling in others
Painted pretty pictures
You described a desirable future outcome
About a future paradise
You spoke of an idyllic, utopian future
Try to sound angelic
You are attempting to come across as pure, innocent or saintly
You're the devil in disguise
But in fact, you are cunning, deceitful and malevolent
Now all your little white ones
Your small lies and misdeeds...
Gets blacker every day
...slowly become bigger, darker and more evident
Crying for salvation
You're appealing for help or redemption
All your screaming leaves
But all your desperate pleas and cries...
A bitter taste
...fall on deaf ears or are met with negative reactions
Trust is shot to pieces
People no longer have faith or confidence in you
Broken hearts will never mend
Your actions have caused too much damage to be fixed or repaired
Money's not the answer
You can't buy your way out of this situation or bribe your forgiveness
Nor your high rolling friends
Your wealthy or influential acquaintances won't be able to help you either
Everything's returning
The situation is reverting back to its original state
To where it started from
Things are going back to the way they were before you messed them up
I don't know if you know it
You may not realize that...
Your endeavour leaves
...all your efforts to make amends or fix the situation...
A bitter taste
...will still be met with negative reactions or consequences
