Frontman Voldamares of the Canadian epic black metal band ECLIPSE ETERNAL has issued the following update:
"The wait is over — we began recording our new album, 'The Essence Of Hopelessness', on January 31st 2010 at Eclipse Studios. The recording engineer will be Glen Drover (ex-MEGADETH, KING DIAMOND), who engineered our first album, 'Reign Of The Unholy Blackened Empire'.
"We are extremely pleased to be recording with Glen again; it has been several years since we recorded our debut and we still hold good memories of our time with him in the studio. His talent with the guitar is only equalled by his talent behind the board.
"We are currently seeking label representation for this album. If you are interested, please contact us at hellknowsmyname@hotmail.com. If you are press and interested in acquiring one of our limited edition two-song pre-release CDs, please email us your info. For booking inquiries, please contact mzsteele@yahoo.ca."
ECLIPSE ETERNAL's most recent album, "Ubermensch: Evolution beyond the Species", was mixed in Sweden by Fredrik Nordström (DIMMU BORGIR, ZYKLON, OLD MAN'S CHILD). The CD is available through The End Records distribution.
