The ethereal electro-industrial group Soil & Eclipse formed in the unlikely locale of Hawaii around vocalist Jay Tye. With the help of producer Romell Regulacion (from Razed in Black), Soil & Eclipse released their 1997 debut album, Necromancy, on COP International Records. Meridian followed two years later, and in the spring of 2000 Soil & Eclipse resurfaced with Archetype. ~ John Bush
