Into Eternity talk about East Coast dates, forthcoming recording

rehearsal collage © Cortney BodnarCentury Media pressrelease:
Canada’s technically progressive death metal band, Into Eternity, will head out for three upcoming East Coast dates before recording the follow up to 2004’s “Buried In Oblivion”. Commenting on the band’s upcoming plans, guitarist/vocalist Tim Roth said, “Things are starting back up for us. First up, we will play 3 shows in the U.S. starting with The New England Metal Festival Sunday, April 30. May 1 we are in New York City and May 2 in Springfield, VA, both dates opening for Gamma Ray. Hopefully we will get a chance to say hello to you all at these upcoming dates. As soon as we return to Canada we continue pre-production for album number four. Once again we will be recording in our hometown Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada at Touchwood Studios. We have original drummer Jim Austin with us on the new record and he’s has been doing a great job in rehearsals.

There will be one recording change with this album, for the first time we are going to send the album out to be mixed. Andy Sneap (Nevermore, Arch Enemy) will be handling the record’s final mix. We are fans of Andy‘s work and know he is the right man. This final step ensures that this will be our best sounding effort to date.”

Calling Buried in Oblivion “a defiantly original work filled with stunning musical virtuosity and truly original ideas,” (Revolver) Into Eternity spent 2005 touring North America supporting the release on no fewer than six continent spanning tours. Look for the band to tour extensively in support of the new album late this year.

Jim’s back to play drums on the album!

Jim at Rock Hard 2004 © Nico WobbenHi everyone,

The new album is still underway for us. Right now we are looking at 11 songs for the new album. Each song is a bit more compact compared to what we usually have done in the past. Seven of the songs clock in at just over 3 minutes. I thought it would be different to try to fit in multiple time changes and riffs/solos in a shorter time frame. I know I have a low attention span when it comes to long songs, movies or whatever the case may be, so it is a small change for us. Every song is going to still have a lot going on, so our style will still be intact.

Now on to the main reason for this update. Into Eternity would like to welcome back our original drummer Jim Austin, who will be playing on our new record. Everybody is familiar with Jim‘s drumming style from our albums “Into Eternity” , “Dead or Dreaming” and “Buried In Oblivion”. We are all happy that Jim is willing to help us out with this new record.

Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, we should point out that this arrangement is just for the recording of the album. Jim has a good job now that we wouldn’t want him to lose. I think that this will be a good step for us and it will help maintain our sound that we have crafted for almost 10 years now.

keep it metal!!

Still writing and preparing

Tim © Cortney BodnarHi everyone!

It’s been quite a while since we have had an update. We have all been taking it easy and recharging our batteries. The songwriting is still going on as we speak. I can say it’s the first time where we have had more material then we actually need. The new songs are quite challenging and there are a lot of cool musical interludes in every song it seems. Of course there are still heavy riffing, but I think it will be more of a musical sounding album.

Stu Block flies back to Regina at the end of the month and the lyric / vocal melody writing will start up. I know Stu has already started his lyrics and I have as well. We are anxious to get started with that.

Everybody knows that our touring drummer Adam has quit. We were hoping to have him on the album and keep this lineup, but some things are not to be. We wish Adam the best in his future.There have been a lot of drummers sending emails etc. and we thank everybody for the support. Hopefully we will have news soon with what is going on. Our plan is to start practicing in March and hopefully play some shows in April/May. After that the band will head into the studio for album number 4!

keep it Metal!

Back home, preparing for the next CD!

Hi everyone!

It’s really nice to take it easy at home. All the guys have been recovering after a year of hard touring. It was an amazing year for our band. There are so many people that we would like to thank for that. Without the fans coming and supporting us, there would be no shows. For that we are very proud of our new fan base. We hope to see you all next year on the road.

All of December we plan on taking off. In the meantime we will be writing our music for the next Into Eternity album, which we plan on recording in early Spring. It will be good to recharge our batteries and live a “normal” life for awhile. The main focus now will be our new record. I know we have the talent now to come up with some great songs. After doing 140 shows, I think the guys are all comfortable with every aspect of the band. The new songs should prove it all we hope.

Opeth/Nevermore tour to end off the year

Hello everyone!

Into Eternity is again on the road for our 7th tour in support of Buried In Oblivion. Thank you to all the people that have been behind this band. We also would like to thank all the cool bands we have met on tour. The support means a lot to us all. The Opeth/Nevermore tour is a great way to end off the year. It will be a great time I’m sure. We will make the most of this opportunity that we have been given. Hopefully we can hang out with all of you soon on the road.

Keep it metal!

Stratovarius tour coming up

Hi everyone!

We made it home after a 40 hour trip from our last show in the USA. The Hammerfall/Edguy/Into Eternity tour was a success for us. I think we converted a few new fans onto our band and that’s really what touring is all about. It is important for us to try and grow our fan base. It was amazing to meet each and every one of you on the road over this past year. We have made a lot of life long fans/friends I’m sure.

Next up is our USA/Canada tour with Stratovarius. I think this will be a cool package for all fans of heavy metal. There will be plenty of clean vocals, guitar solos and death metal to be heard on these shows. The whole band is excited to be a part of these events. See you all soon!!

Update from the Hammerfall tour

Stu in Worcester, 8/13 © Lynne Harrington, Lynneaus ProductionsHello everyone!!

The Hammerfall/Edguy/Into Eternity tour is rolling along full steam now. We have been astonished by the fans response to our show. They are giving us so much energy to play as hard as we can. It’s a great feeling to look out and see 1000 people raising their metal horns!! The Eastern Canadian leg of the tour was sick. I think we made a lot of new fans and we can’t wait to get back. The promoters were class acts and treated us well, so we have to thank them.

After our show in Montréal, Rob and I got picked up by J.F. (Kataklysm) and drove to his studio. It was an honor for us to guest on the new Kataklysm record. The band is really good friends with them now, but we have been fans of the band long before the tours together. Rob and I did guest work on a track called “Road to Devastation”. I played a guitar solo at the end of the track and Rob did trade off vocals in the chorus of the song. I have to say that their new album will turn a lot of heads. The songs sound really amazing. It was a big deal for us to do our best for the Kataklysm guys. We consider them brothers.

Today (8/18) we play in New York. It is an amazing city and the people are always kind to us here. We hope to see all of our fans supporting us like they always do. The band feels really lucky to be a part of such a great tour. It feels really good to be back playing in the U.S.A. Thanks to Hammerfall and Edguy for having us out with them. They are both great bands and I think this is a good package for the masses to see. Hopefully we can meet everyone on the road!!!

Keep it metal

Thanks for the support!

Tim and Erik (Hate Eternal) in Seattle © Cortney BodnarHi everyone!

Sadly our US Tour with Hate Eternal, Krisiun and Incantation is coming to a final close. We have to thank all of YOU for coming out and supporting us on this heavy tour. I know countless people have traveled long distances to see us and we think that is amazing! It is going to be strange not to see these guys every day after these last shows are over. There has been a lot of bonding with each band and we wish them all the best in their future tours. Also thanks to our web mistress for her hard work on the tourdiary section of our webpage. As fast as I can type it, she gets it up.
Next up for Into Eternity is a 10 day rest after our last shows in Florida. Everyone will chill out and take care of business in that time. The Hammerfall/Edguy tour starts in Toronto on August 10th. We cannot wait for the chance to play in front of a different crowd again. This time we will be the heavy band on the bill and that is a switch for us! Hopefully we will see everyone out on the road. Take care….

keep it metal!

Tour updates

Hi everyone!

We are in Regina for 1 more day. Our Sunday show in Regina was cancelled by the promoter. We contacted him for us and Krisiun to play, but he wasn’t interested. Our Edmonton and Calgary shows are also cancelled by a different promoter, who is a good friend. He couldn’t take a risk either with just 2 bands. Hate Eternal have had some van problems, so they have been cancelling some gigs. That in turn sort of messes up this tour. We are sorry to everyone who has been traveling to see us. You all RULE!

Our next shows are in Prince George and Vancouver….July 6th and 7th. Then we head into the USA again to continue the tour. Incantation will meet us in Seattle for sure! We hope that Hate Eternal will be as well. I’m sure they will make it and we all have faith.

The tour as of now has us opening again. All Shall Perish have gone home and they were doing that slot. They might make it to the California dates though.

I think that’s all the news we have now. The tour has been going well for us (see tourdiary!). Krisiun is sitting in my livingroom right now hanging out, so I better get back to the lounging.

Thanks to everyone for coming out to our shows. It’s great to meet everyone.

keep it metal!
