This release marks the second record with Arnel Pineda, following 2008’s“Revelation.”
The Kevin Shirley-produced album is being billed by Journey guitaristNeal Schon as a rock record.
“It sounds amazing,” Schon told VH1. “I’m in love with the record, which I haven’t said for a long time. I really fought for this record to be the way it is. It’s a rock record. It’s built for the places we’re about to play.”
Pineda hooked up with the band in 2007 after Schon watched some of Arnel’s live videos with Flipino rock band The Zoo, on YouTube. Pineda is a virtual dead-ringer for the voice of former Journey singer Steve Perry, who sang on the band’s biggest hits.
"We like his energy,” keyboardist Jonathan Cain told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “He's brought a lot of heart and soul to this band.”

Cain describes Eclipse as "a concept record with some spiritual themes to it. Pretty tough, hard-hitting stuff. This is Journey with big combat boots on. And helmet and a rifle."
