Eclipse Records
# Eclipse Records

Eclipse Records is an American independent record label based in Butler, New Jersey. The label is best known for bringing the Cleveland band Mushroomhead to national attention. The president of the label is Chris Poland, not to be confused with the former guitarist of Megadeth who happens to have the same name.

## History

Eclipse Records was founded in 1997 by owner Chris Poland.

Eclipse Records releases few albums compared to other labels their size. President Chris Poland states that he believes that a record company should try to work on making each album "hit material", instead of putting out as many albums as possible to gain recognition. The label has also focused efforts on using new technology such as digital distribution to increase its bands' exposure in a competitive music market. In September 2017, Eclipse Records signed Genus Ordinis Dei, a symphonic death metal band from Crema, Italy to their roster.
