Релиз ММТ. Спасибо Олегу spiralarch.

Eclectica consists of six compositions including four completely new songs and two covers: Sepultura's Refuse/Resist and the band interpretation of Mussorgsky's Khovanschina. Eclectica was recorded in one of the Moscow's and whole Russia's best record studio SNC with the help of Russia's best heavy metal producer (Evgeny Trushin) and thus the album sounds much better comparing to the band's previous works.

The new work reveals musicians' capability of writing more melodic and still heavy songs with an emphasis on keyboards. One of the numerous particularities of this album is using few unusual for this kind of music instruments. These are End Zone's traditional flute performed by the band's lead guitarist and cello played by an additional musician. The important thing about the new album is using the so called clean or normal vocals which creates the bands unique melodic patterns and strengthens atmospheric impulse to the songs themes. The background vocals this time featured some female singing and a couple of spoken parts.

Now we have a completely new work that is once again a proof of the musicians' capability to create unique music. With three full length brilliantly and professionally produced albums End Zone stands almost alone as Russia's most promising bands in this genre.
