Course Of Fate Behind The Eclipse Review

Course Of Fate
Behind The Eclipse
Roar

2026

Course Of Fate delivers a new album following their concept album Mindweaver that came out in 2020. Behind The Eclipse gives us a glance at the future that is the band. This isn’t a concept album, but don’t let that deter you from listening! I went into this completely blind to the band and the music and let me say, what a treat this was!

I personally enjoy good lyrics, a great beat and something that I can completely dive headfirst into. Behind The Eclipse gave me just that. Beautifully haunting soundscapes, great storytelling via lyrics and something I got lost in. Admittedly, I was happily surprised with some of the growls I got on the album.  Ebbing from this wonderfully timbre into gutturals is impressive and honestly gave me chills.

It feels as if the album was inspired by melodic progressive bands of old and new. If you are an older metal head and enjoy Queensryche or a newer metal head and enjoy Unleash the Archers, I think you’d find a familiar comfort with this album. 

A personal standout for me has been Acolyte. I feel like this song specifically could inspire writers globally to create beautiful worlds that hold fantasy and a bit of darkness that leaves you craving more. As a creative, I love it when music makes me want to create something. So, a huge thank you to Course Of Fate for delivering on that.
