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. A large proportion of his tracks on the label are collaborations with the label's founder Dougal but he has also had solo releases and appeared alongside other artists such as G. 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.

There is also a multitude of Black and Death Metal bands that operate under the name 'Eclipse'.

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.

Belamor
Eclipse Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somewhere between the eternal abyss
And the never ending heaven
Between the wood smelling of needles
And the valley of oblivion
There is a place
Meadow colourfully covered with flowers
Flowers bathed in the morning dew
I can hear... they whisper among themselves

I can feel... they hunt... cruel hunt
Who is the game?!?
The shiver of delight pierces my heart
The spectre of fear tears my soul
I can see the beauty of some buds
They are full of amazing colours
So beautiful that each look causes pain
But I'm still looking
And cry bloody tears
I come closer and pick it
Burning heat inside of it - it's venom
And blood on hands

I picked the flower of oblivion
I picked the flower of non-existence

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eclipse's song "Belamor" describe a place that is somewhere between the eternal abyss and the never-ending heaven, between the wood smelling of needles and the valley of oblivion. The singer describes a meadow filled with colorful flowers, covered in morning dew. However, she soon realizes that these flowers are not to be admired, but instead, are engaged in a cruel hunt. The singer feels a shiver of delight piercing her heart, while the specter of fear tears her soul.

As she gets closer to the flowers, she sees the beauty of some buds and is amazed by their colors, causing her pain. Despite this pain, she still looks and ultimately picks one of the flowers. However, inside the flower is a burning heat - it's venom - and as she picks it, she ends up with blood on her hands. The flower she picked was the flower of oblivion, the flower of non-existence.

Overall, the song seems to be questioning the dangers of curiosity and the desire to explore the unknown. The vivid imagery and poetic language used in the lyrics help to create a feeling of ominous foreboding, warning against the consequences of seeking too much knowledge.

Somewhere between the eternal abyss
In the midst of the infinite darkness

And the never ending heaven
And the infinite expanse of the sky

Between the wood smelling of needles
Amidst the forest with the scent of pine needles

And the valley of oblivion
And the desolate valley of nothingness

There is a place
Exists a spot

Meadow colourfully covered with flowers
A meadow adorned with colorful flowers

Flowers bathed in the morning dew
Whose petals glisten with the morning's dew

I can hear... they whisper among themselves
I hear... They softly murmur to one another

I can feel... they hunt... cruel hunt
I sense... They hunt... mercilessly hunt

Who is the game?!?
Who is the prey?!?

The shiver of delight pierces my heart
A thrill of pleasure shoots down my spine
