INTO ETERNITY

THE SCATTERING OF ASHES

2006

REVIEWED BY BLAKE



Review: Into Eternity's 4th release finds more lineup changes with the addition of Stu Bloch (vocals) and Troy Beich (bass/voacls) to main stays Tim Roth and Jim Austin. This band hailing from the western Canada and producing one of the most difficult bands to categorize. When the vocals go from death growling to clean vocals to patented Halford like screams it is hard to put a metal label on them. I have still not come across another band that does the changes so well and they sound so well going from one extreme to the other. So you could call them progressive, death, thrash, or just plain old Heavy. Die hard death metal fans might have a problem with the progressive moments and vice versa so they are aquired taste but one listen will tell you whether you love them or hate them. The music is top notch and could very well make them the best Metal band out of Canada currently. My only complaint or that I was was different was I wish the songs were longer and the whole cd clocks in at 41 minutes which is shorter then most bands release nowadays but there is no filler songs on this and it is another step in influencing more bands like this.
