Into Eternity is a heavy metal band from Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.

History

Into Eternity was formed in 1997 by founding members Tim Roth, Scott Krall and Jim Austin and later released an eponymous, independent album in 1999, with the addition of Chris Eisler and Chris McDougall. The band signed to Century Media Records a year later and then re-released their debut album. In 2001, the band returned with their second album "Dead or Dreaming", an album which saw a more pronounced integration of progressive and death metal. The trend continued on 2004's "Buried in Oblivion" and even further on 2006's "The Scattering of Ashes".

Music

Fusing elements from across the spectrum of metal, including classic or melodic metal styling, thrashing riffs, power metal-style clean vocals [http://www.metalunderground.com/reviews/details.cfm?releaseid=412] , high and low-pitched death growls [http://www.metalunderground.com/reviews/details.cfm?releaseid=412] , fast tempoed death metal drumming with blast beats and sometimes all layered with acoustic guitar playing [http://www.metalunderground.com/reviews/details.cfm?releaseid=412] . Into Eternity provides a sound that is rather difficult to describe, but the most common description of Into Eternity's music is progressive death metal.
