Total Eclipse (American band)

[2] Encouraged by the demo's success, Total Eclipse contacted famous German producer Uwe Lulis and before long the band had signed a deal with Limb Music; the album Ashes of Eden was released worldwide to much critical acclaim.

After parting ways with Limb Music, and having legally acquired the name of the band, Giardina decided to find another label to release their new second album, Spellcaster, also produced by Uwe Lulis, recorded in the Bay Area and somewhere near the Black Forest in Germany, then remastered in 2007/08 in San Francisco.

[4] In October 2007, Andy Dracons Giardina decided to resurrect Total Eclipse after the band's four-year hiatus from the scene, and simultaneously release the long-awaited second LP Spellcaster.

In July 2013, Total Eclipse was rejoined by guitarist Dan Gorman, and the band is now rehearsing material and setting plans to move forward.

The new album comprises different styles that exemplify the evolution of the entity known as Total Eclipse and include the roots of metal in all its aspects- Supported by heavy "sabbath" bass lines forged in the Sabina land by Luciano Mancini, intersects the epic and triumphant atmospheres of the instrumentalist Maurizio Giacchi and the dystopian-psychedelic musical ideas of Andy Giardina-and its progression based on the Spirit of the Times.
