Following their 2023 release *The Wonders Still Awaiting*, in which they triumphantly announced a “rebirth” with a new lineup, this is an ambitious work that showcases the evolution and depth that lie ahead.\nTheir sound—which seamlessly blends classical riffs reminiscent of ’80s metal with modern metal dominated by down-tuning, cinematic orchestration, Celtic folk, and even dark electronics—boasts a level of polish that truly stands as the culmination of XANDRIA’s current lineup. Key figure Marco Heubaum has taken his influence from film music even further, and a dramatic sense of scale reminiscent of Hans Zimmer and John Williams runs throughout the entire album, serving as a major defining feature. The lyrics, which explore themes of modern civilization and social division, are more direct and message-driven than ever before, and the concept behind the album title “Eclipse”—“the shadow covering civilization”—is also striking. Above all, however, the highlight is Ambre Vourvahis’s expressive vocals. She moves effortlessly between delicate clean vocals, powerful rock vocals, ferocious growls, and even operatic singing, masterfully commanding the album’s grand, sweeping worldview. This is one of the most important works of their career, solidifying the momentum they’ve built since their reformation. The CD is a 2-disc set, with the bonus disc featuring instrumental versions of the tracks on this album.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Syzygy\u003cbr\u003e2.Eclipse\u003cbr\u003e3.Colours\u003cbr\u003e4.The Shannon's Home\u003cbr\u003e5.The Grand Delusion\u003cbr\u003e6.Wave of Tanis\u003cbr\u003e7.Northstar\u003cbr\u003e8.Masquerade\u003cbr\u003e9.The Last Generation\u003cbr\u003e10.The Poetry of the Real World\u003cbr\u003e11.Lore\u003cbr\u003e1.Syzygy\u003cbr\u003e2.Eclipse\u003cbr\u003e3.Colours\u003cbr\u003e4.The Shannon's Home\u003cbr\u003e5.The Grand Delusion\u003cbr\u003e6.Wave of Tanis\u003cbr\u003e7.Northstar\u003cbr\u003e8.Masquerade\u003cbr\u003e9.The Last Generation\u003cbr\u003e10.The Poetry of the Real World\u003cbr\u003e11.Lore\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Napalm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53520831021345,"sku":"810221171843","price":4290.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/810221171843.jpg?v=1789631100","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/810221171843","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
