│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Is there a hotter name in melodic rock these ║ │
│║ days than Erik Martensson? Between peforming in ║ │
│║ W.E.T. and writing and producing for names like ║ │
│║ Toby Hitchcock, Jimi Jamison and Adrenaline ║ │
│║ Rush, he has made a big impact on the melodic ║ │
│║ rock scene in the last few years. And then ║ │
│║ thereÆs Eclipse, the band he fronts alongside ║ │
│║ guitarist and songwriting partner Magnus ║ │
│║ Henriksson. Their 2012 album Bleed and Scream is ║ │
│║ arguably the decadeÆs best melodic rock album. ║ │
│║ Now theyÆre back with their eagerly-anticipated ║ │
│║ follow-up, titled Armageddonize. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ If for some reason youÆre a fan of Swedish ║ │
│║ melodic rock and havenÆt heard this band (and if ║ │
│║ so, whatÆs wrong with you?), Eclipse hits the ║ │
│║ sweet spot between AOR and hard rock, with a ║ │
│║ definite nod to the Æ80s arena rocking heyday. ║ │
│║ They have all of the melody and electricity of ║ │
│║ bands like H.E.A.T. and Reckless Love, but with ║ │
│║ a harder rocking crunch. Henriksson and ║ │
│║ MartenssonÆs guitar work is right out front, so ║ │
│║ thereÆs never any question whether Eclipse is ║ │
│║ closer to pop than rock. Beyond his considerable ║ │
│║ guitar playing, songwriting and producing ║ │
│║ skills, Martensson is a hell of a singer as ║ │
│║ well, and he gives a dynamite performance here. ║ │
│║ The backing vocals are fantastic too, and add ║ │
│║ even more power to the already catchy choruses ║ │
│║ on Armageddonize. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ As to the album itself, Armegeddonize is very ║ │
│║ much in the same style as Bleed and Scream. It ║ │
│║ opens with a monster of a hard rock song called ║ │
│║ ôI DonÆt Wanna Say IÆm Sorry,ö which immediately ║ │
│║ grabs you by the throat. ôThe Stormö is probably ║ │
│║ the catchiest song on the album, and the first ║ │
│║ one that youÆll find yourself humming the melody ║ │
│║ later. Not that thereÆs a non-catchy song to be ║ │
│║ found here. Armageddonize is one hard-hitting, ║ │
│║ extremely melodic song after another. ôWide ║ │
│║ Openö and ôCaught Up in the Rushö are classic ║ │
│║ Eclipse (and could have made great W.E.T. songs ║ │
│║ as well), and ôBreakdownö sounds like a lost ║ │
│║ Tangier or Junkyard track. Even the ballad ôLive ║ │
│║ Like IÆm Dyingö is powerful. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ So hereÆs the big question: Is Armageddonize ║ │
│║ better than Bleed and Scream? Time and repeated ║ │
│║ spins will tell, and rest assured you WILL be ║ │
│║ playing this one many times in the months ahead. ║ │
│║ Eclipse definitely didnÆt take a step backwards ║ │
│║ here. Armageddonize is an extremely strong ║ │
│║ melodic rock album, and is an early favorite for ║ │
│║ the best melodic rock album of 2015. ItÆs almost ║ │
│║ unfair to ask other bands to follow this one. ║ │
│║ Once again Eclipse has demonstrated why they ║ │
│║ belong alongside H.E.A.T., Brother Firetribe and ║ │
│║ W.E.T. as the elite names in modern melodic ║ │
│║ rock. ║ │
