"Eclipse" is the seventh album by Amorphis. With the re-introduction of death vocals and a heavier sound, it marks a return to form for the band, owing more to "Tales from the Thousand Lakes" and "Elegy" than their last three releases.

The album tells the Kullervo legend found in the Finnish national epic Kalevala.
