Eclipse is also notable for being current vocalist Tomi Joutsen's debut with Amorphis following the departure of longtime singer Pasi Koskinen in 2005.[3] It also marked the reintroduction of death growls into their music, albeit in limited quantity.[5]
In February 2008, the record was certified gold in Finland, having sold over 15,000 units.[6]
