Comments singer Benny Hilleke: "From the artist's view a new album is always the best of course, so I spare you this part (although it's indeed true, haha…).

"'Forging The Eclipse' combines a lot of elements that have been typical for NEAERA for years. Means the songs are brutal, but straightforward, melodic and excellent to shout along with.

"Thanks to the great work of producers Ali Dietz, Andy Classen and Tue Madsen, we are more than pleased with the result, in fact the album is hammering us a fat smile onto our faces! And I'm pretty sure that some of you will feel the same…"

On November 28, NEAERA will embark on a European tour with ALL THAT REMAINS, CALIBAN, SOILWORK and BLEED FROM WITHIN.

NEAERA's fourth album, "Omnicide - Creation Unleashed", entered the Media Control chart in the band's home country at position at No. 51.
