Stockholm, Sweden-based melodic hard rock band Eclipse issued sixth full-length studio album Monumentum<\/em> on March 24th, 2017 (excluding Japan) through Frontiers Music Srl. Japanese release was scheduled for March 8th featuring the song \u2018The Downfall Of Eden (Acoustic Version)\u2019 as a bonus track.<\/p>\n

Singer, songwriter and producer Erik Martensson commented: \u201cWith every album, one\u2019s way of writing music changes a bit. What you thought was exciting and interesting while writing one album can radically change when you start writing the next. I think we have brought in quite a few new tricks in the writing and recording process while still staying true to our sound. In the end, it all boils down to if it\u2019s good or bad songs and I think this is the best album we\u2019ve done. In my opinion there is not one single weak song on the album and I\u2019m really proud of it!<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I go and see a band I just want to hear songs that make me wanna put my fist in the air and scream along, and I want everyone around me to do the same. Well, Monumentum<\/em> is one giant fist waiting for a chanting crowd of rockers!\u201d<\/p>\n

Monumentum<\/em> is the first Eclipse album to feature drummer Philip Crusner, who replaced Robban B\u00e4ck in November 2015.<\/p>\n
