Eclipse Perfect
Hey! How's it going? We are Eclipse Perfect, a Death Metal/Rock Band from Germantown, MD. We formed in mid 2003ish and our band consists of two members: Trip Hecht, on lead and rhythm guitars, and Justin C., on rhythm and bass guitars, vocals, and drum programming. Thanks a ton for checking out our music. We greatly appreciate it. Feel free to D/L our stuff, burn cds, pass on the word, etc. Enjoy your visit!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Trip and I have been working on music since about 2000. We originally formed a "band" called Winter's Blaze....pretty epic, right? we hooked up with a good friend of ours, Daniel Toal, and began to hold jam sessions where we wrote our first songs. Mr. Toal moved on to bigger and better things with the bands Eternal Ruin and Eaten Alive, but Trip and I continued to grind away at writing new material. Around 2003, we changed our name to Eclipse Perfect, picked up a copy of Fruity Loops, and started recording our songs. We finished up an album in December of 2005 which contained 10 tracks and was self titled. Right now, we are in the process of fine tuning our sound and recording new ideas.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Unfortunately, we don't have a full line up right now....so we haven't had the chance to play live yet. But, I think we'd both like to play some shows at some point.

I know Trip plays a Jackson and uses Marshall Amps. I have a Fernandes guitar and a crate amp...its a sick 15 watts. Sick I tell you. And we both use Pod XT lives. We do all of our recording through Fruity Loops at the moment.
Anything else?
Nothing else right now...but maybe I'll think of something later...
