"Eclipse Of The West" is the eighth album from Neofolk legend Ostara. It's an uncompromising confrontation with the Zeitgeist, brimming from start to end with a sense of tragic urgency. Inspired by the Sturm und Drang movement, singer songwriter Richard Leviathan weaves a barbed thread through the centuries, from the battle cry of the Norse god Wieland to the contemporary echoes of failed Utopias, mass Narcissism, the loss of love and the death of hope. This is an album for the times, a bleak yet stirring harbinger of a dark new decade. "Evocative titles, intellectually stimulating poetry, strong melodies, a feel for language, smooth clear voices and a polished professional sound characterise the work of Ostara" (Flux Europa).

Strictly Ltd x 500 copies on Solar Gold 180g vinyl (super-audiophile German pressing) in a reverse-board sleeve with printed inner sleeve. The vinyl is accompanied by the CD in card slip and a postcard. Hand-numbered and personally signed by Richard Leviathan.
