In January of 1997, Jay and G.W. were contacted by COP International, who had heard their demo tape, and was interested in signing the band. After a few months of communication and a trip to meet the minds behind COP, a contract was negotiated and signed. After a short time of debate amongst the bandmates, a new name for the band was chosen - Soil and Eclipse. Jay and G.W. felt that the new name better suited the style of music, given its ambient nature.
Shortly after signing with COP International, Soil and Eclipse began recording their first CD, 'Necromancy'. Co-produced by Romell Regulacion (Razed in Black,Transmutator) and G.W. Childs, 'Necromancy' was quick to get a positive response. Many tracks from the CD, including "Rejoice" and "False Prophet" have received extensive airplay across clubs and radio programs throughout North America and Europe.
After the release of 'Necromancy', Soil and Eclipse separated geographically due to the ending of their military enlistments, which, for the record, were honourable. Jay returned to his home town of San Diego, and G.W. to his home town of Dallas. While in separate states, Jay and G.W. started writing music for their second release. After a year of separation and struggle, a new catalog of songs was created.
Upon reuniting in San Francisco, the duo began work on 'Meridian'. Maurice Jackson of Nerve Factor (COP label mates) played a huge role in the production of 'Meridian'. Not a surprise given his extensive background in audio engineering and electro/industrial music. 'Meridian' shows the duo in a more emotional light and truly showcases the vocal talents of Jay Tye. The response again has been very positive - Four weeks after its release, 'Meridian' made it in to the German top ten where it stayed for two weeks.
Soil and Eclipse has since released 'Archetype'. The 'Archetype' single embodies new works with remixes from 'Meridian' such as 'Exile' (Remixed By M.O.), 'Poetry of Angels' (Remixed By Rommell Regulacion of Razed in Black) and 'Thief of Always' (Audio Paradox remix) . A very diverse release in content as well as sound, it has been the biggest success of the entire catalog in acclaim as well as success of the band.
Later in 2002 Soil and Eclipse released "Purity" which brought to light such titles as the moody "O' Magnum Mysterium" which has enjoyed a large burst of club play as well as "Bridges" and "Sentence Me". The material on the album benefited greatly from the flawless production brought forth by Count Zero of DLI fame and the infectious remixes by Razed in Black, Cassandra Complex and M.O. and Deathline International. While having an abundance of club friendly material, the album also contained tracks exhibiting more vulnerability than in previous recordings. Introspective tracks like "Pretend" and "Chains" gained attention again for the Count's thoughtful production but also the emphasized sensitivity.
Now in 2005 Soil and Eclipse are working on a new title. The new work is focusing more on the classical aspects of the band that have only been hinted at in the past being mixed with more experimental elements.
ORION
Soil & Eclipse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You`ve brought the divine powerful forces
From the darkness of these cursed lands
We evoke tu sacred names
My blood is cold
As the winds on the valley of the death
I am part of the mystery That hides the night
I`m lead by deeper sensations than pain and hatred
Now blind by the veils of madness
That burn down their fate!
I walk over blackened flames to release my inner abyss
Kusuh lead us beyond the gate of conscience
Unveil the nightly treasures and buried rites of the ancient ones
Now mortals witness the arrive of the stellar race progeny
The law of the undeniable nature
Tears their white rapture of blessed souls
Bloody lie encrypts the war since eons ago
Now the cry unleashes the storm
They will reborn they shall burn all
The lyrics in the song "Orion" by Soil & Eclipse convey a sense of power, mystery, and darkness. The opening lines introduce us to the presence of supreme lords, who possess great divine and powerful forces. These lords are believed to have emerged from the darkness of cursed lands. Through their invocation, they are granted sacred names and their influence starts to manifest.
The singer describes a chilling sensation, comparing their blood to the cold winds present in the valley of death. They feel connected to the mystery that encompasses the night, guided by sensations that run deeper than mere pain and hatred. This suggests a deeper understanding and connection to something beyond the surface level emotions and experiences.
Continuing on their journey, the singer walks over the blackened flames, symbolizing a defiance of the desolation and eternal emptiness that surrounds them. They have been blinded by the veils of madness, perhaps referring to a state of altered consciousness or a departure from conventional norms and perceptions. This madness burns away the fate of those who oppose or misunderstand them.
The lyrics further speak of a figure named Kusuh, who leads them beyond the gate of conscience. This suggests a spiritual guide or a source of hidden knowledge. By following Kusuh, they gain access to the secrets, treasures, and ancient rituals of the night. Mortals, who previously could not perceive these hidden elements, now bear witness to the arrival of the progeny of a stellar race. This signifies a significant shift in the world and the emergence of a powerful force that cannot be denied.
The final lines allude to a bloody lie encrypted within a war that has been raging for ages. The cry that has been stifled is now unleashed, resulting in a storm that signifies a rebirth, a cleansing, or a reckoning. The singer hints at the imminent destruction and transformation that will occur, as the forces they represent will burn away all that stands against them.
Overall, the lyrics of "Orion" evoke a sense of darkness, power, and revelation. It delves into the allure of the unknown, the connection to forces beyond conventional understanding, and the impending upheaval that accompanies their arrival.

Supreme lords that precede them all
Highest rulers who come before all others
You`ve brought the divine powerful forces
You have summoned the mighty forces of the gods

I am guided by emotions beyond mere pain and hatred

The bloody deception encodes the long-lasting war
Now the cry unleashes the storm
Now the cry sets free the raging tempest
They will reborn they shall burn all
They will be reborn and they will set everything ablaze
