Norwegian Progressive Metal act COURSE OF FATE proudly announce the release of their upcoming studio album, “Behind The Eclipse”, due out January 30th, 2026 via ROAR!
Pre-orders are now available at https://courseoffate.rpm.link/btealbumPR, and fans can get a first taste of the record through the brand-new lyric video for the first single, “Sky Is Falling”.
Guitarist Kenneth Henriksen shares a striking reflection behind the song: “Some walk in the brightest of light all their life. Most wander in gloom, with sudden bursts of illumination. A few will soar high above the clouds – gazing directly into the blazing sun, only to fall, deep into the darkness. Many a time, those who fall will grab hold on others as they descend, dragging them into the dark. It is a good thing, then, that only in the rarest of times a soul falls so hard that it seems like the whole sky is falling with it.”

“Behind The Eclipse” presents a diverse collection of songs where light and darkness intertwine—both musically and lyrically. Though not a concept album, each track connects through this theme, showcasing the band’s signature mix of Melodic Depth, Progressive sophistication, and emotional weight!
