There are a couple of active and inactive bands (see below) with this name: ACTIVE BANDS: 1- Metal 'n' Roll / Power Metal band from Austria2- Heavy Power Metal band from Uruguay3- Progressive/Power Metal band from Italy 1- Ecliptica was formed in Vienna in 2005 by Markus Winkler. The sound of ECLIPTICA is defined in their musical roots, to point out the classical heavy metal of the 80ies as well as rhythm progressive elements from all decades. The main character of ECLIPTICA’s music is basically Power Metal, influenced by the sound of Queen, Maiden and Metallica not to name the mass of bands raised in the power metal genre of the last 10 years. ECLIPTICA’s song writing is situated between classical style features and the use of material from other genres. ECLIPTICA was founded originally as a solo project by Markus Winkler, since mid 2005 with constant line up. In December 2006 Ecliptica had their debut in front of 400 maniacs supporting DEAD SOUL TRIBE. In April 2007 Ecliptica successfully released their Debut-EP “The Awakening” and presented it in front of 500 people at Planet Music Vienna. In Spring/Summer 2007 ECLITPICA won the “Metal Battle Austria 2007” Contest and therefore played a set at the world famous “WACKEN OPEN AIR” in Germany. They also got their chance to play at the biggest festival in Europe Donauinselfest 2007 and did their first show band acting at the Austrian BIG BROTHER AWARDS. Not to forget the support slot for the major US-Prog Metal gods SYMP
