Music Video - Sinister:
The band comments:
"There's no concept or theme on this album so all the songs have different meaning. The title track itself divulges into the inevitable end to humanity and potentially the world with it. It discusses the issues around the globe and also addresses the ignorance and selfishness of those indirectly affected by the chaos. It has a strong "United We Stand, Divided We Fall" theme in regards to how people can turn their backs on those in need in order to save their own skin, which ironically will lead to our end as it causes people to turn on each other. Musically for this album, you will notice we have evolved from the first release and have moved away from thrashy overtones to become more diverse including more heavily stated melodic and technical with a solid groove and death foundation."
The album follows their 2015 debut full length End Of Days and EP Beyond The Apocalypse released that same year. Active since 2014, OMINOUS ECLIPSE is a very ambitious band passionate about writing and playing extreme music. They have already shared the stage with the likes of REVOCATION, THE AGONIST, KALMAH, ARCHSPIRE, INCANTATION, VESPERIA, BEYOND CREATION, RIVERS OF NIHIL to name a few.

"Their new song "Spiral Into Insanity" has a strong death metal foundation, including very melodic leads, but there's more than enough groovy thrash inspiration and even a hint of black metal there. " ' Decibel Magazine
"a game changing release for OMINOUS ECLIPSE that places them center stage for my pick of the best Canadian Metal release this year....Every track stands strongly on its own, thanks to the band's immense talent and flawless production. Ominous Eclipse is a band that carries the banner for the N.W.O.C.D.M. with pride and distinction. Out September 14th on all streaming platforms, I would recommend Sinister to fans of DEATH, IRON MAIDEN, INFERNAL MAJESTYand GOJIRA." - Hellbound
"Demonstrating their ability to blend genres within metal to create a compelling album, this is an impressive sophomore delivery. Each track brings something different and feels refreshing even after multiple listens." - Splice Magazine
"Sinister is a high-energy track launched by heartless riff jabs, ear-scouring string squeals, and neck-snappingdrumwork. The vocals come for your throat, too, in an effusion of heartless roars and face-scraping shrieks, and the song is accented by flurries of spidery, darting fretwork and by a pair of flashy, fluid, but demented solos. It becomes a thrashing gallop, but without becoming any less venomous in its delivery." ' No Clean Singing
"The crowd was stellar at Mavericks, where each of the four bandswere well represented by their fan bases. Opening on the night were OMINOUS ECLIPSE, whose chunky, frantic thrash metal din was led by their howling frontman. Largely drawing from their 2015 album End of Days, the four-piece pounded through six songs, tackling tracks like "Pestilence," "Abandoned" and the album's particularly solid title track. Helping to limber the crowd for the chaos to come, they called for a "wall of death" in the confines of the club and the fans delivered, clearing the centre of the floor before the opposing sides barrelled into one another, bodies flying everywhere." - Exclaim! (Live Review opening for Kalmah April 2016)
