“A pounding drum beat, machine-like riffs and roaring vocals introduce Not My Master and their new EP, Disobey. Acadence is hell of a start that gets the blood pumping and the horns thrown with complete abandon. An exceptional start.”

MetalInjection Premiere INTO ETERNITY’s New Track “Fringes of Psychosis”

New Album “The Sirens” Out August 3rd

L-R – Tim Roth – Lead Guitar, Vocals,  Matt Cuthberson – Guitar, Amanda Keirnan – Vocals, Bryan Newbury – Drums, Troy Bleich – Bass, Backing Vocals

It’s been 10 years since INTO ETERNITY unleashed 2008’s “The Incurable Tragedy” on Century Media with former vocalist Stu Block now of Iced Earth. A decade later, it’s a new era for the band with their new album “The Sirens”due out on August 3rd, which features founding member and guitarist Tim Roth with a new line-up that includes vocalist Amanda Keirnan (The Order of Chaos), guitarist Matt Cuthberston (Untimely Demise), bassist Troy Bleich (Planet Eater) and drummer Bryan James Newsbury (Culled/Death Toll Rising).

Borrowing from all aspects of heavy music to form the perfect blend of technicality, memorable songwriting, traditional heavy metal and the sheer savagery of metal’s extreme genres, INTO ETERNITY‘s first single “Fringes of Psychosis” is ready to be revealed to the metal world with its premiere on MetalInjection.net.

The track features guest guitar solo from ex-Megadeth guitarist Glenn Drover along with guest vocals from Chuck Labossiere (Psychotic Gardening/Eyam/Votov) and can be heard for the first time at the following link: http://www.metalinjection.net/av/new-music/into-eternity-streams-new-song-fringes-of-psychosis-featuring-ex-megadeth-guitarist

The band comments about the track:

“Fringes of Psychosis is the first track off our long awaited release ‘The Sirens’. This track deals with the edge of one’s sanity through life’s endless turmoil. Musically this song captures the classic music of early Into Eternity, reborn again with the soaring vocals of Amanda Kiernan, shredding guitar featuring Tim Roth and Matt Cuthbertson, the precise bass playing of Troy Bleich and the intense drumming of Bryan Newbury. Featured also on this track are a couple of guest solos by the mighty Glenn Drover (Megadeth/Testement) and guest demon low growls by our buddy Chuck Labossiere (Eyam/VOTOV).”

“The Sirens” pre-order available at http://intoeternitysk.bandcamp.com.

Founded in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada in 1997, Into Eternity is a cornerstone in the Canadian metal scene. The next nine years for the band was a flurry of writing and recording, with the band recording a total of five full-lengths. The debut self-titled album came out in 1999 followed but “Dead or Dreaming” (2001), “Buried in Oblivion” (2004), “The Scattering of Ashes” (2006) and “The Incurable Tragedy” (2008); the latter two featuring Stu Block (Iced Earth) on vocals. Their sixth full-length album “The Sirens” (2018) sees soprano Amanda Keirnan taking on vocal duties ushering in a new era for the band.

Into Eternity borrows from all aspects of heavy music to form the perfect blend of technicality, memorable songwriting, traditional heavy metal and the sheer savagery of metal’s extreme genres. With extensive touring history, including sharing the stage with household names like Judas Priest, Megadeth and Arch Enemy, Into Eternity takes the listener on an epic journey; combining the jarring aggression of old school thrash and death metal, the speedy instrumental precision of shred and prog metal, with triumphant choruses and the melodies of classic metal.

“Into Eternity has been a staple of Saskatchewan’s heavy metal scene for 21 years. The group has had several lineup changes over that time, but the music has always been thrilling, pushing the limits of the local scene with their highly technical style and international success.” – Regina Leader Post

“This is one special band that has worked hard for its success.” – Blabbermouth

“One of the brightest stars on the progressive extreme metal landscape.” – Sea of Tranquility

“I praise lots of bands and albums, many of which probably more so than they truly deserve – what can I say? I tend to be an overly enthusiastic metal head. Though if there is one band that deserves every ounce of praise I heap upon them album after album, it’s Regina, Canada’s Into Eternity.” – Teeth of The Divine

“a vicious slice of the extreme progressive style…Roth’s technical brilliance shines above all else, as the twisting harmonies whirl around the listener’s head atop the blistering percussion.”  – Exclaim! (Review The Incurable Tragedy 2008) 

“Into Eternity’s The Incurable Tragedy, an album that manages to be so credibly metal, yet so vastly accessible, that there’s something for everyone. ” – Metal Sucks (Review The Incurable Tragedy 2008)

“Into Eternity has managed to succeed on every level with THE INCURABLE TRAGEDY. They have provided a conceptual piece in which the individual songs stand on their own, and also work together to create a greater whole. The band has toured with many of the masters, and has clearly benefited from this. The result is the band’s most mature and concise sounding record to date. They have produced an album that will be sure to please die hard devotees to many of the different genres of metal.” – Metal Rules (Review The Incurable Tragedy 2008)

Out Now On CD! Mexican Thrashers CENTAURO  New Album “Daño Colateral”

Unleashing their eighth and latest release “Daño Colateral” digitally this past April, Mexican thrashers CENTAURO are proud to officially announce the album is now available on CD as of June 30th through Bandcamp and distributor Ablaze Productions.

“Daño Colateral” is CENTAURO‘s third full-length adding to their existing repertoire of well worked classic thrash intertwined with hearty samples of elements from several metal sub-genres, most notably black and death, resulting in a recognizable, deep and unique sound.

“Daño Colateral” is a concept album focused on the turbulent story of a person that was born into awful situations and throughout their life, continues to experience numerous setbacks even through effort and good will; a subjective message to decadence of society and modern system thoughts.

Drummer Mario Rivera further explains:

“The album is a story about a person that has been born from rape, that’s why this newborn is unwanted; So he and his brother work their way through the struggles of life until his brother dies. He gets angry with life and his resentment burns until he gets into prison for vandalism. In prison, he learns how to be a real criminal, and when he is released, he begins a path of violent crimes and killing until his madness makes him commit suicide.”

The band purposely takes the listener through torrid moments to create atmospheres of deep anxiety, fear, anger, joy and depression. It’s a journey through emotions that evolve from one to another. This intense story that can be both heart wrenching and uplifting can be heard in full stream and downloaded on Spotify, Bandcamp, Amazon, iTunes, and Google Play.

CD order is available on Bandcamp and distributor Ablaze Productions.

BIO:

In the heat of the summer of 2009, Mexican thrash metal band Centauro was born. Hailing from ​Culiacán, Sinaloa, they took their name from famous Mexican revolutionary fighter Doroteo Arango (Pancho Villa) a.k.a. “El Centauro del Norte”.

Mario Rivera (drums) delves into the origin of the band’s name,​“We were kind of tired of a majority bands in our country having names mainly in English with some of them not even translating correctly. Coming from Mexico we really wanted our band’s name in our mother tongue to represent our culture and history. We wanted truly Mexican inspired metal, not everything to be about Vikings, runes, occultism and demons.”

Focusing on creating original trash infused metal they have found recognition both locally and abroad. Over the course of nine years they have unleashed eight releases, 2 EPS (Enraizados – 2010, Oligarquía – 2014), a demo (Vía Agresión – 2011) and 3 full lengths (Devastación Total – 2013, Ciénagas Del Engaño – 2015, Daño Colateral – 2018). Their sound is well worked classic thrash intertwined with a hearty sample of elements from several metal subgenres, most notably, black and death, creating a recognizable, deep and unique sound.

Staying true to their roots, they write lyrics exclusively in Spanish broaching themes including politics, religion, lust, laziness, misery, death, joy and criticism of society. This fresh take on thrash metal can be described as aggressive, melodic, and unique. The band brings a contagious energy to the stage putting emphasis on having fun and interacting with the crowd while playing quality music.

Centauro’s latest album “Daño Colateral” was released digitally April 21, 2018 on Spotify, Bandcamp, Amazon, iTunes, Google Play and will be available on CD as June 30, 2018.

“Centauro is a band of great quality. Daño Colateral is an impressive advance compared to Ciénagas del Engaño in all aspects; 10 tracks with vocals in Spanish, aggressive and that fully express the fury, in addition to a total maturity in the band; it shows its more progressive side and its more melodic side without sacrificing aggression at all, it is present at all times” – Manuel Amusia

“Centauro is a band with a unique sound, one of the most emblematic bands of Sinaloa, with a very extensive discography from 2009 to 2018.” –  Balagardones

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – June 29, 2018

 

For fans of Megadeth, Metallica, Municpal Waste, Evile

Canadian Thrashers TYMO Unleash New Lyric Video “Evolved From You”

Album “Purge & Reset” Out Now!

In Thrash We Trust could be the mantra of modern thrashers TYMO, a band whose attitude lives up the title of their second and current full-length album. Entitled “Purge & Reset”, founding guitarist Tim Tymo explains the origin of a title that is more than words; it is a statement of metallic intent!

“Let’s just say we have a creator or superior being. If this being gave us everything we needed to flourish humanely and returned to see all the wars and corruption…this being would want to wipe the slate clean and start over. Hence…PURGE AND RESET!”

Formed in Edmonton in 2015, TYMO released their debut album ‘The Lone Wolf” in March of the same year followed by their most recent full length “Purge & Reset” unleashed during August of last year.

Inspired by Municipal Waste, Megadeth, Slayer, Bonded by Blood, and Metallica, TYMO’s sound is angry, loud, and explosive thrash, which is evident in their new lyric video “Evolved From You” premiered on PureGrainAudio.com.

Vocalist and guitarist Tim Tymo explains the track:

“‘Evolved From You’ is about the anger you feel after someone betrays you and everything you have to say about them in that moment in time.”

Watch “Evolved From You” at the following link: http://puregrainaudio.com/videos/the-new-lyric-video-from-edmontons-tymo-was-evolved-from-you-exclusive-premiere

Out Now! Rockshots Records: Portuguese Hard Rockers BARROS “More Humanity Please…”

For fans of Whitesnake, Van Halen, and Harem Scarem, Portuguese hard rockers BARROS release their new album “More Humanity Please…” out now as of June 29th via Rockshots Records.

The solo project from Tarantula guitar player Paulo Barros alongside brilliant and talented musicians such as singer Ray Van D, “More Humanity Please…” features 10 songs of melodic hard rock mixed and mastered by Harem Scarem singer Harry Hess in Canada with artwork done by Brazilian artist Gustavo Sazes (Gus G, Jeff Scott Soto, Kamelot, etc…).

Lyrics were written by Ray Van D and explore themes as diverse as “Love as a driving force that goes beyond” and “Come what may feel”, to a critical take on the formatting of art and music produced by corporations, “fast food music”; as well as an invitation on the reflection on the ephemerality of life, the lack of humanity in the world today and the banality of violence in social media along with our dependence on technology and a dose of humor that is Murphy’s law: “Where if anything can go wrong, it will go wrong in the worst way at the worst time and in such a way as to cause the greatest possible harm”.
