Swedish rockers ECLIPSE have announced the upcoming release of their tenth studio album, Megalomanium, on September 1, 2023. The first single from the album, The Hardest Part Is Losing You, is out today accompanied by a music video.
ECLIPSE will be performing headlining shows and various festivals throughout the summer and into the fall as well as a European tour starting September 1 in Bochum, Germany.
Singer Erik Mårtensson explains the meaning behind the album title: “Since the previous record ‘Wired’, we have been fortunate enough to be able to play to a lot of different audiences all over the world. No matter where we are, we always find a way to connect with people through those initial roots of rock ‘n roll music. ‘Megalomanium’ is precisely that: it’s ECLIPSE paying homage to the full scope that is our ever-growing fan base, through the elements that have become staples in the band’s catalog, and also daring to venture into new uncharted territories and sounds. If ‘Wired’ was a collection of our favorite 11 beers at the time, ‘Megalomanium’ is an album riddled with the full DNA of the band, a fearless dive into the deep end of the pool – or in this case – the lake Siljan surrounding the island in the middle of Sweden where we record all our music.”
