STEREOPHOBIA SIGNS EXCLUSIVE WORLDWIDE DEAL WITH ECLIPSE RECORDS + SET TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM!

Our partners, Eclipse Records, are thrilled to announce the signing of Stereophobia, an alternative metal band from Lisbon, Portugal.

Stereophobia 2025

The band recently finished recording their latest full-length album entitled "Choke On This" with Miguel Camilo producing at MC Sound Studios. Choke On This will be released via Eclipse Records on August 29th, 2025.

Stereophobia commented about their signing to Eclipse Records:

“Eclipse Records sparked our interest since we knew that Mushroomhead (a band which I have followed and admired for a long time) signed with them many years ago” says lead vocalist and guitarist Mike Rocha. “I´ve always aspired on achieving great goals while always reaching higher. As we are focusing 100% on the music, I usually say that we are like no other band in the world, so we needed a label like no other as Eclipse Records is (mainly for their musical variety and focus on the artist’s music). That’s why I believe Eclipse Records is the right match for us!”

Drummer Dany Atunes adds, “It’s an incredible feeling to sign an agreement with Eclipse Records for the upcoming album! With this new record being a more dark and complex evolution of our sound, it’s beyond our wildest expectations to reach such a milestone and have Eclipse to back us up on this new journey. We can’t wait to share it with everyone!”

Bruno Santos (bass guitar) also said, “I think signing with Eclipse Records is one of the most positive things that has happened to the band so far, and for the release of our new album, Eclipse Records is the perfect label for us!”

Stereophobia - Choke On This

Choke on This, the hot new alternative metal album from Stereophobia, is more than a gut punch. It is a blast in the face that widens your eyes, buzzsaws your back, and rocks you right to the marrow. Hard rock at its finest, the rich guitar sound is a precious collection of aesthetic “schitzo-riffs,” each an exotic treasure dazzling in the dark and leading us to the caverns and haunts of our deepest repressions. The bass is a booming series of tactical nukes, and the power-drumming gets in your blood, enlarges your heart, and rattles your ribcage.

The album isn’t subtle. Play the “f” out of it, and for “eff’n” God’s sake, play it loud! In terms of overall theme, this emotive and powerful record is about infection, a poisoned society we feed on like snakes in the crease, ingesting the swill spit out of our television sets, the lies bleeding through the pores of our social media, and the culture wars pitting us against each other like gladiators wearing masks and falling hard on our swords. Musically, Choke on This is innovative and fresh considering the variety of guitar sounds, the intricate drum work (especially the production and performance on the toms), the emotive vocals, and the powerful bass runs.

This album was produced by Miguel Camilo, (M’vula, The Bateleurs), and Stereophobia at MC Sound Studios, and the album cover art was created by Tatiana Ferreira. Choke On This by Stereophobia will be released on August 29th, 2025 via Eclipse Records.
