0 E.P. Review: Eclipser – Pages – The Razor’s Edge “Eclipser waste no time in pulling you in head first into the onslaught of self released E.P. ‘Pages’. Absolutely monstrous from beginning to end and utterly unforgiving in its delivery. The band give you no sense of respite or pleasantries here… If you’re a fan of Ulcerate, you’ll be familiar with this breed of hostile animal and trust me, its bite is harder than its bark!”

Out Now! “Pages” From Canadian Blackened Death ECLIPSER
Succinct And Dissonant, “Pages” Is A Dramatic Descent Into Nihilism
New EP “Pages” Out May 28th
Top L-R – Christian Beaupre – Guitar, Sebastien Choquette – Bass
Bottom L-R – Ryan Menard – Guitar, Vocals, Chris Joyal – Drums
Ottawa’s Eclipser has unleashed their new EP “Pages”, according to the band, the creation of the heavy and melodic EP was nothing short of chaotic as they explain further in their own words:
“The writing and recording of this record were pretty chaotic and I think it comes through in the music. We had some member changes that forced us to reinvent our sound and move away from our previous release (Pathos). We finished tracking drums right before the first wave of Covid hit Canada so we had to learn to track the rest of the EP from home. There’s a good mix of aggression and melody both within the songs and from one to another.”
The recording is dissonant and according to the band, is a refinement of their sound. Guitarist/vocalist Ryan Menard who writes the majority of the music, says that his lyrical influences come from life and experiences, the way he thinks, the way he feels, or the way he views the world. The EP’s overall theme is life-denying philosophy; the lyrics are absurd and nihilistic yet existential in nature and the music is dark, heavy, and discordant with respective melodies.
Eclipser is adding this fourth release to their catalogue following Pathos (2019), Promo (2018) and Demo (2017). “Pages” is just the first round of songs they feel are ready to be heard, they have multiple recordings of material in the chamber ready to go, so stay tuned.
“Pages” was produced by Eclipser; mixed by Mike Raymond of Reverence Audio, and mastered by Topon Das (Fuck The Facts) at Apartment 2 Recording. The EP artwork was done by Misanthropic-Art.
Negative, yet melodic, “Pages” is recommended for fans of Ulcerate, and Deathspell Omega and can be streamed or downloaded at the following links:

About:
A name derived from the all-obscuring sound they produce, Ottawa, Ontario’s ECLIPSER spews forth a foreboding polarity of soaring melodies and nightmarish dissonance, coiled together to create a dreadful malaise of blackened death metal promised to starve the light of everything it touches.

0 Metal Talk – Eclipser – Pages – “An EP that is definitely worth your attention if you like Black Metal with an interesting Death Metal twist.”
“The EP opens on the title track ‘Pages’. With brutal contrasting elements, this superb offering, with tremolo picking and great swathes of riffs, also has a dark heavy melodic undercurrent. Superbly phrased, which bolsters those vocals perfectly, there is a subtly understated second-half leadwork. Altogether a track that can’t fail to grab your attention… An EP that is definitely worth your attention if you like Black Metal with an interesting Death Metal twist. https://www.metaltalk.net/eclipser-pages-ep-is-creative-black-metal-with-a-modern-feel.php

NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – May 10, 2021
For Fans of Ulcerate, Deathspell Omega
Canada’s Eclipser Usher In Harsh New EP “Pages” And Debut Video For Title Track
Lyric Video Premiere via NoCleanSinging
Top L-R – Christian Beaupre – Guitar, Sebastien Choquette – Bass
Bottom L-R – Ryan Menard – Guitar, Vocals, Christopher Joyal – Drums
Set to release their new EP “Pages” on May 28th, Ottawa’s Eclipser is unleashing out the cage, their next single and title track via its premiere on NoCleanSinging HERE.
The opener to the five-track record, “Pages” sets the tone of the whole EP both musically and lyrically. In just a little over 3 minutes, Eclipser managed to pack instrumental layers that weave in and out of each other to give the song a very dense and dynamic feel. Lyrically, the song takes a very nihilistic stance, and much like the music, it’s straight to the point.
The band adds about the track:
“Pages is the tale of a weary soul in search of faith. He seeks out God but finds only empty words and misery.”
Harsh and succinct, “Pages” primarily resides in the black metal realm, however, Eclipser also writes using techniques that are found in death metal, and even a bit of grindcore and maintain a formulaic style. The EP was produced by Eclipser; mixed by Mike Raymond of Reverence Audio, and mastered by Topon Das (Fuck The Facts) at Apartment 2 Recording. The EP artwork was done by Misanthropic-Art. It is the fourth release from the band following Pathos (2019), Promo (2018), and the 2017 Demo.
Eclipser was founded in 2017 by Ryan Menard (guitars/vocals) and Christopher Joyal (drums), they are recommended for fans of Ulcerate, and Deathspell Omega.
The entire EP releases on May 28, 2021.
