Holy was always known as a label releasing top-class music but only when it comes to doom / gothic sector… however lately they signed few BM bands, and all of them appear as more than impressive ones – GLOOMY GRIM, for example. But everything’s a bit different when it comes to LEGENDA, a band formed by ex-IMPALED NAZARENE drummer and keyboardist. Their “Autumnal” debut was quite good but there wasn’t anything outstanding, however this one just fucking kills!!! Kimmo followed on creating the same kind of music (extremely atmospheric black metal in the vein of SAMAEL’s “Ceremony Of Opposites”), but I guess that no one will ever dare to draw any parallels between “Autumnal” and “Eclipse”, since they’re so different when it comes to the MUSIC itself (I’m not talking about innovations)! It’s just perfect on stuff! This CD begins with very fast and hateful tune (which is a bit unusual for LEGENDA), “The Night Has Drawn Night”, but later turns into more typical stuff for this band with an exception for “Sister Shadow Sister” which features simply magnificent “clean” vocals! I don’t know what about you, but personally I can’t believe that it was Kimmo who sang on this track, since the singer’s voice is absolutely amazing! Guitar sound is thick and really heavy, while the background keyboards devour your soul, provoking the ecstatic admiration with this guy’s irrefutable talent… A MUST! (Herr Stalhammar)

Очень интересная работа финских блэкеров Legenda ! Хоть фины дарят нам в -основном Death, но вот порадовали и Black-ом !! Альбом стоит внимания, Must Have!!!
