Interview with Erik Mårtensson (ECLIPSE)

Erik Mårtensson is a very talented musician and that's a thing that can be shown with his main band Eclipse as well as with many projects/bands (Ammunition, W.E.T., Nordic Union e.t.c.) that Erik has involved with.

After the already classic "Armageddonize" record, Eclipse strikes back this year with another superb slice of pure melodic hard rock bliss "Monumentum"!!! Their fresh and brand new opus, through Frontiers Records, comes to show us why this band is considered one of the hottest bands out there.

It is a privilege for Heavy Paradise to interview Erik and talk about the new record, the today's hard rock scene, Frontiers Records and some other really cool and interesting stuff. Enjoy!!

(Interviewer : Vassilis Hassirtzoglou)

Heavy Paradise : Hi Erik, it’s really a great honor to have you here in Heavy Paradise for an interview!

Erik: Thank you!

Heavy Paradise : A new album, “Monumentum”, and judging by the first two singles (‘never look back’ and ‘vertigo’) I have to say that it’s a killer one! Love these songs! My question is a bit cliché but I have to ask; is that your best album to-date?

Erik: A cliché question gets a cliché answer but it's actually honest. I believe it's our best album so far. There is not a single weak song on this album and I have not been able to say that about our other albums. And it sounds more Eclipse than ever before
