[edit] History

Formed toward the latter part of the 1990's in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, Into Eternity released an eponymous, independent album in 1999. The band signed to Century Media a year later and rereleased their debut. In 2001, the band returned with their sophomore effort Dead or Dreaming, an album which saw a more pronounced integration of Prog and death metal. The trend continued on 2004's Buried in Oblivion and even further on 2006's The Scattering of Ashes. Into Eternity performed on Gigantour 2006, which kicked off in Boise, Idaho on September 6, 2006. According to Soundscan, the latest album sold a little over 2,000 copies in the US during its first week of release.

[edit] Music

Fusing elements from across the spectrum of metal, including classic or melodic metal styling, thrashing riffs, power metal style clean vocals, high and low pitched harsh vocals drawn from death and black metal, and thundering death metal drumming, Into Eternity provide a sound that is professionally executed yet rather difficult to describe. The most common (and easiest) description of Into Eternity's music is progressive death metal.
