0 Terrible - Waste of your life and time.

Note: Reviews are graded from 0-5, anything higher or not showing is from our old style. Scores, however, do not reveal the important features. The written review that accompanies the ratings is the best source of information regarding the music on our site. Reviewing is opinionated, not a qualitative science, so scores are personal to the reviewer and could reflect anything from being technically brilliant to gloriously cheesy fun.

Demos and independent releases get some slack since the bands are often spent broke supporting themselves and trying to improve. Major releases usually have big financial backing, so they may be judged by a heavier hand. All scores can be eventually adjusted up or down by comparison of subsequent releases by the same band. We attempt to keep biases out of reviews and be advocates of the consumer without the undo influence of any band, label, management, promoter, etc.

The best way to determine how much you may like certain music is to listen to it yourself.

For those of you not familiar with this group, here is a brief description of their sound. Imagine if you will that Dream Theater and Iron Maiden got drunk one night and formed a union of their music. Put that together with clean, death and black metal vocals and you have Into Eternity.

This Canadian band blew me away with their first release "Dead or Dreaming" and upon hearing the new song on the Identity 8 compilation I was drooling in anticipation for the new album. While the first album left a little to be desired with the songwriting, the new album fills in all the gaps that were missing. On top of that, the band has matured musically and has become more technical and precise with their playing. The opening track "Splintered Visions" gives evidence of their technicality just with the intro riff alone, but then the solo hits and you realize just how skilled guitarists Rob Doherty and Tim Roth are.

The album also features a departure from their heavy sound with two lush acoustic tracks that are a nice change of tempo for the band. I think that they are two of the strongest songs on the album simply for the fact that they show the band's diversity in style. But this album is one you can listen to all the way through from beginning to end without wanting to skip a song or praying for it to end. So, if you want to check out something new that is causing lots of talk to surface in the underground scene, then check out this Canadian quintet.
