Eclipse Records is excited to announce the signing of an exclusive worldwide deal with Outshine, a prophetic and outspoken dark alternative metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden. The band recently wrapped up production of their fourth full-length album entitled »Truthsayer« which will be released via Eclipse Records on June 26, 2026.
Get a sense of the band by watching their »Our Misery« music video from their album »The Awakening« (Rockshots Records, 2022) on YouTube.
“We are really happy to team up with Eclipse Records” says frontman Jimmy Boman, “and after the first conversions with their team, I believe Eclipse is the right partner for Outshine. It’s gonna be great to launch the new album together and swing over to the US again for a showcase tour in the Fall of 2026!”
Guitarist Pär Arvidsson adds “After the first conversation with Eclipse it came apparent that they knew what Outshine is about and it really felt like coming home. After our last US tour, they are definitely the right place for us to be and it’s an honor to be part of the Eclipse Records artist roster.”
Also weighing in, drummer Robert Petersson says “As we were on tour in the US a few years back our friends in Carbellion had just signed with Eclipse Records and we thought that this could maybe be something for Outshine as well, I am happy to say that it was! To sign with an American label is very exciting and I am really looking forward to the release of our new album together with Eclipse Records.”

The brilliant new dark alternative metal album from Outshine titled »Truthsayer« has something for every rock and metal fan, including rich guitar work, haunting keys, a powerful back beat, and mesmerizing vocals. Musically, the feel is wonderfully diverse, with parts and parcels working together to craft a vision both dark and distinct, disturbing, yet hopeful. The keys are eerie and foreboding, leading us down shadowed corridors with hypnotic vocal harmonies that often split into octaves, as if to show contrasting views of the world existing atop each other like fog on cobblestone and the sun on the sea.
In terms of raw pathos, the band plays its listener like an instrument that coaxes emotions from the soul and paints them like colors on a canvas and poems in the skyline. Concurrently, Outshine’s fans do not feel alone on an island. They are part of something big, something greater than themselves, something universally and collectively profound, though their specific part is unique and important. The band is all about the bare truth, about finding answers and building bridges. And they do so by example. No one in this project – himself owns the spotlight, and that is their superpower. Lockstep. Synchronized. Stronger together.
Lyrically, the band blasts the elite, biased media and totalitarianism, depicting a world distorted with poison as common people are kept in a metaphorical asylum of sorts, locked in their rooms, screaming silently from behind sound-proofed glass. It puts us slightly off balance, as these messages of doom are superimposed on music with such a chunk and satisfying groove vibe. In the end, the band tells us that shadows recede. Hell turns to hope. Night ends with dawn, and the ashes of a scorched earth can produce an awesome rising phoenix. This band is for real, and »Truthsayer« is nothing less than a magnificent megaphone.
»Truthsayer« was produced, engineered & mixed by Kenny Boufadene (Manimal, We Are The Catalyst, Tears Of A Fallen Hero) & Jimmy Bowman at Studio Meltdown. The album and singles feature art by Jimmy Boman. It is scheduled for release on June 26, 2026.
