INTO ETERNITY - Dead or Dreaming
-
Canada's Into Eternity is by far one of the most creative metal bands around... Not just in this Country, but in the metal world as a whole. Their styles and influences are greatly varied... it is seldom that a band is able incorporate so many different styles into their music. In addition to their top notch Musicianship, they also use a multi-vocalist assault. (An actual singer /screamer, plus the guitars and bass players lend their voices as back ups.) Which only further adds to their unique Metal Approach. Though I heard this album after their Masterpiece "Buried in Oblivion"... "Dead or Dreaming" still sounds incredible. Granted the production is a bit more `raw' but the song writing is just as good. And even though they've clearly grown as musicians their performance on this CD is still note worth... These guys have a fantastic Rhythm section, Drums are incredible and the Bass is audible and sounds great... And then of course there is the Guitar playing... lots of great licks and tons of classic and some not so classic solos. Easily some of the finest young talent around in todays Metal world.
Favorite Songs: Absolution of the Soul, Distant Pale Future, Selling God, and Cyber Messiah.
-4.5 Stars.

A great find..., July 1, 2004
The last reviewer said these guys are better than Opeth...well I would not go that far (not even close to that far), but they are VERY good. Definitly one of my top 10 bands. I bought this CD though, because of a few reviewers who mentioned that if you liked Opeth you would like these guys. On first listen, I thought, "Ummm...what were they thinking?" After a few more listens I changed my tune. They sound much different than Opeth, yet have many common attributes which is what I think attracts lovers of Opeth...the changes from ultra-heavy to mellow and melodic, the use of solid clean vocals and nice, heavy growling, and the excellent song writing. The music is certainly not as awe-inspiring as Opeth, but in this world where 5 star worthy music is hard to come by, Into Eternity is a joyous discovery.

Intelligent Metal, September 10, 2002
Into Eternity is a newly signed band from Century Media hailing from the USA. Their style can best be described as progressive melodic death metal however hints of thrash, traditional, and fussion can also be heard. They sound like a cross between Nevermore, Dream Theater, Rush, Old Megadeth, and modern death. Even though the music is mainly melodic death the vocals are mostly clean which really sets this band apart. I personally listen to a lot of melodic death metal for the great musicanship and heaviness but I don't really like the death vocals I just tolerate them. The vocals remind me a little of Sebastian Bach with a little less rasp. Musically the songs are very catchy, heavy, and while complex still very followable. All songs are in odd meter timings which is cool and fits the bands style. There is some very impressive musicianship displayed by all band members and the production is clear and tight. Really the only complaint I have of this album is the guitar tone is not a total bottom ended muscular one. It is not weak but they could do better. Overall a great album that will get many spins in my CD player.Standout Tracks: Distant Pale Future, Shallow, Feilds of the Dead, Elysium Dream, Dead or Dreaming, Cyber Messiah
