Ascendant artist Eclipseye bridges the gap between political commentary & Rap Metal on a gothic gem designed for global consumption. “Whap Clatter” finds the international journeyman serving as an empathic harbinger of destruction who demands an end to war while absorbing the impact of every explosive. The timely selection(recorded a few months prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine)showcases the immeasurable toll each senseless killing brings to the victim’s family. With every line spoken, the listener feels a great sense of loss. One can’t embrace a friend or colleague who is now merely a memory.
Eclipseye’s elocution possesses a harsh, brutal cadence that isn’t just appropriate for the material…it’s NECESSARY. Mankind feigns civility every second of the day while the discord of nations will surely deliver our downfall. The morbid outlook of the artist may be off-putting to some. But it’s also a wake up call for those hiding from reality.
