Eclipse of Eden

and something was brewing. Young punks from

across the state all moving to the capital.

A group of pale and androgynous gothic hipsters

were doing their part to put the scare back

into punk rock music.

They mixed hardcore with grind and a splash

of black metal to make a delicious blend of

punk rock music that some would consider screamo.

They were famous for their high energy live

shows. Trashing about the floor with the

demeanor of young men freshly escaped

from a mental institution. Leaving the crowd

with sweat dripping and ears buzzing.

It was the end of the century and it was

a good time for punk music in Iowa.

Since Eclipse of Eden broke up the members

have spread back out across the midwest

and beyond. They have formed many new bands.

Swing By Seven, Examination of The..,
