Double Eclipse is the debut album by the American hard rock band Hardline, released in 1992.
The first single released from the album was "Takin' Me Down", written by Johnny and Joey Gioeli with Neal Schon. "Takin' Me Down" peaked at No. 37 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in June 1992. The album's second single, a cover of a Mainstream Rock Tracks chart hit by Danny Spanos from 1983 and written by members of the band Streetheart, "Hot Cherie" rose to No. 25 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in the fall of 1992.
The album has been described as heavy metal and hard rock. AllMusic praised the rockers such as "Hot Cherie" but panned the "wretched" ballads.
Journey guitarist Neal Schon joined the Gioeli brothers and toured for this album, which rocks a bit harder than most of his Journey and Bad English tracks had and features little synthesizer (even though it features two tracks co-written with the aforementioned bands' keyboardist, Jonathan Cain), but Schon departed for other projects after the band lost its record deal. Schon was replaced by former Storm guitarist Josh Ramos.
The song "Can't Find My Way" (in its demo form) is featured during the montage love scene in the 1992 Brandon Lee action movie Rapid Fire. The song "I'll Be There" is played during the film's closing credits. The song "Hot Cherie" is used in episode 7 of Peacemaker season 1.
Hardline's 2002 album, II, and 2012 album, Danger Zone, each depict an eclipse as part of its cover artwork, an homage to Double Eclipse's ten-year and twenty-year anniversaries.
