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

INTO ETERNITY drummer Bryan James Newbury has posted videos from his recent drum clinic performing tracks ‘Frozen Hell’ and ‘The Sirens’, which is the title track off the band’s first album in 10 year’s and new full length released on M-Theory Audio on October 26th.

Newbury comments:

“I am so excited to finally release these exclusive drumming play-through videos that were recorded at one of my most recent drum clinics. This comes at a great time because I have recently joined the Pearl Drums Canada family of Endorsed Artists. A huge thank you to Peter Marunzak and everyone at the Pearl team for supporting me the way I have supported them for over a decade. I currently play Sabian Cymbals, Remo Heads, and Roland Triggers as well.”

10 years in the making, Canadian metal masters INTO ETERNITY return in 2018 with their new full length “The Sirens” to follow 2008’s “The Incurable Tragedy” released on Century Media with former vocalist Stu Block now of Iced Earth. Firing on all cylinders, “The Sirens” is the beginning of a new era for the band, which features a new line up with founding member and guitarist Tim Roth joined by vocalist Amanda Keirnan (The Order of Chaos), guitarist Matt Cuthberston (Untimely Demise), bassist Troy Bleich (Planet Eater) and drummer Bryan James Newsbury (Culled). The album also showcases guest appearances by former vocalist Stu Block (now in Iced Earth), Cam Dixon (ex-Annihilator) and Glen Drover (ex-Megadeth). The album was co-produced, mixed and mastered by former guitarist Justin Bender, while longtime artist Mattias Noren (Evergrey, Epica, Kamelot) designed the cover and layout.

Guitarist Tim Roth comments:

“The 10 year long wait is finally over! Thank you so much to our long time fans for all the years of encouragement and support. We hope that everyone is going to enjoy this new record because a lot of sweat, tears and hours were put into The Sirens.

“There is a lot going on with this new album. There’s something for most heavy metal fans if you happen to like fast double bass drumming, rumbling bass, clean singing, death metal vocals, acoustic guitars, piano, symphony sections, heavy guitar riffs, melodic parts and shredding solos.

“We’d like to thank M-Theory Audio for offering us a deal for this new collection of songs, Rawlco Radio for the financial support and Asher Media Relations for spreading the word. Thanks as well to my band mates who all did a great job on their individual performances. This was also the first time we had guest performances on a record. Thank you to Stu Block, Jasun Tipton, Chuck Labossiere, Rob Doherty, Justin Bender, Jason Cullimore, Cam Dixon and Glen Drover for delivering those special guest appearances.

Please enjoy these new tracks and Keep It Metal!”

“The Sirens” is available on M-Theory Audio here and Bandcamp here.

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)

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – October 18, 2018

For fans of Death, Dream Theater, Opeth, Arch Enemy

Decibel Mag Premiere INTO ETERNITY’s Lyric Video “Sandstorm”

New Album “The Sirens” Out October 26th On M-Theory Audio

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”, 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).

Due out on M-Theory Audio on October 26th, “The Sirens” features guest appearances by former vocalist Stu Block (now in Iced Earth), Cam Dixon (ex-Annihilator) and Glen Drover (ex-Megadeth) and sees INTO ETERNITY firing on all cylinders. The album was co-produced, mixed and mastered by former guitarist Justin Bender, while longtime artist Mattias Noren (Evergrey, Epica, Kamelot) designed the cover and layout.

Teaming up with Decibel Magazine, the band’s second single “Sandstorm” is now ready to be revealed to fans.

Guitarist Tim Roth comments:

“Sandstorm was the second song written for The Sirens. Most of the other tracks are long epics, but Sandstorm is a short, action packed song that holds plenty of firepower. Amanda did a spectacular job on the vocal melody and even though this song has a nice groove, there are still a lot of blast beats, guitar harmonies, melodic bass playing and shredding solos to be heard. This track also features Rob Doherty (low Growls), Stu Block as guest vocalists as well as Justin Bender on the outro guitar solo. The song’s lyrics were inspired on May 2, 2011 after the USA shot and killed Osama Bin Laden during a covert mission.”

Rockshots Records: Spain’s Progressive Metal Sensation NORTH of SOUTH New Music Video “Nobody Knows”

Debut Album “New Latitudes” Out Sept 28th

Following his introduction to the metal community with his first single / lyric video “The Human Equation”, Spain’s progressive one man solo project North of South by Chechu Nos takes another step forward towards the worldwide release of his debut album “New Latitudes” due out on September 28th via Rockshots Records.

Rooted in León, Spain, North of South is a complex-categorizing band, deeply interested in crossbreeding different music styles such as Jazz, Death, Pop and Latin influences with a solid base of progressive metal.

The album’s lyrics contain a strong literary, philosophic and existentialist essence, influenced by authors like Jorge Luis Borges, William Shakespeare and Orson Scott Card, among others, as well as topics like the human condition and its limits facing the Universe, our emotions and personal contradictions and the mysteries of time.

“New Latitudes” was recorded at Zoilo Unreal’s studios in Marín, Spain, a renowned studio in the Spanish extreme metal scene that has worked with bands such as Unreal Overflows, The Anthagonist and Unhuman Nature.

SHORT BIO

Spain’s North of South brings to the table a hard to classify metal that could be labeled as Progressive Metal with Jazz, Death, Pop and Latin influences. Founded by guitarist Chechu Gómez (aka “Chechu Nos”), this project is the result of blending and amalgamating completely different elements and influences, such as At The Gates’ melodic punch, Carlos Santana’s Hispanic sounds, Opeth’s compositional deepness, The Police’s rich substrate-Pop, Anathema’s emotional power and Kate Bush’s chameleonic diversity.

Refusing to conform to genre standards and with a passion for his homeland, the first album “New Latitudes” will be released on September 28, 2018, adding an innovative, Mediterranean, and emotional dimension to the metal genre.

 LONG BIO

Spain’s North of South brings to the table a hard to classify metal that could be labeled as Progressive Metal with Jazz, Death, Pop and Latin influences. Founded by guitarist Chechu Gómez (aka “Chechu Nos”), this project is the result of blending and amalgamating completely different elements and influences, such as At The Gates’ melodic punch, Carlos Santana’s Hispanic sounds, Opeth’s compositional deepness, The Police’s rich substrate-Pop, Anathema’s emotional power and Kate Bush’s chameleonic diversity.

Similarly, the literary influence of authors such as Jorge Luis Borges, Orson Scott Card and William Shakespeare can be found in the songs of debut album “New Latitudes”, that, conceptually, gravitates around esoteric subjects like the enigma of time, the human condition, it’s challenges, and our own personal contradictions.

A longtime metal fan and guitar player, Chehu awaited his moment to begin writing his own songs and in 2017, that dream took flight. Situated in the captivating city of  León, Spain, the geographical location influenced Chechu’s decision on his project’s name:  “It makes reference to my city and my country. León is located in the north of Spain (from my country’s perspective) but in the south of Europe (from the continent’s perspective). In some way, the same interpretation is valid from a planetarian perspective as Spain is, more or less, in between what is considered the first and the third world.”

He goes on to explain the unique soundscape that can be found in his  music:

“The most important meaning [of the name] is the metaphorical one: the convergence of different cultures, the contrast of heaviness and melody, the mixing of different musical genres and, finally, the addition of southern/Mediterranean/latin sounds to Metal. You have the solid, hard, metallic element (North) blended with the warm, melodic, groovy ingredient (South).”

Refusing to conform to genre standards and with a passion for his homeland, the first album “New Latitudes” will be released on September 28, 2018, adding an innovative, Mediterranean, and emotional dimension to the metal genre.

CDs and digital downloads available on Rockshots Records, iTunes, and Spotify.

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.

– 30 –

“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)

About:

We live on the layers of deep time and history, strata of times past; life literally depends on centuries of decay. Now, progressive extreme metal visionaries CENTURIES OF DECAY build on the metal that has come before to create the metal of the future.

Formed in 2013 in Toronto, Ontario, CENTURIES OF DECAY sound is ‘atmospheric, intense, powerful, dynamic, and heavy’.

Drummer Derrick Doucette explains the roots of the band’s name.

“The intention of the name is to paint an image of nature reclaiming the lands and cities and erasing the traces of humanity once people have been removed from the world. This can also be open to interpretation. Some may see Centuries of Decay as being in reference to an extended period of social degradation or the idea of the planet being a barren land void of life entirely. We chose this name because we felt it conveyed a powerful image and atmosphere, which appropriately went hand-in-hand with our musical style.”

That style will be unleashed by the four-piece on their self-titled debut album due out August 4, 2017, which drummer Derrick Doucette is eager for fans to hear.

“I was told recently that someone found our sound very unique and refreshing. That really meant a lot to me and I would love if that opinion was shared by both old and new fans. I find we’ve taken our influences from various sub-genres of extreme metal and turned them into a tasteful blend of compelling, climactic and devastating intensity on these seven tracks.”

Fans can also expect more music in the future.

“We are already looking forward to writing more material and refining our sound more. I’m excited to see how our sound will evolve…Our fans can expect multiple albums as that was the intent from day one!” adds Doucette.

Live, CENTURIES OF DECAY have their own unique approach to performing, they make every set flow together, creating a huge atmosphere and letting the metal speak for itself.

“”Centuries Of Decay bring together old styles to create new, exciting sounds on debut…From the lurching behemoth of the aptly titled “Centuries of Decay” all the way through to the grandiose finale of “Demise”, Centuries Of Decay bring familiar sounds together and forge a glorious new path forward.” – Rock and Roll Fables

“This is not a one-dimensional album that’s easily described. Each song has its own style and flavour, mixing different styles together with well-deserved contempt for genre restrictions and constraints. Centuries of Decay have crafted a modern extreme metal release that effectively combines these different strains of metal into something all of their own.” – Wonderbox Metal

“A concept record regarding the changing times & how life depends on centuries of decay, the ten minute self-titled opening song showcases melodic metal with deep oceans of imagination. Haunting but with a real sense of beauty, the guitar melody alongside a fascinating drum beat is such an appealing sound. A sound that suddenly takes on a darker tone, upping the heaviness & dealing out an absolutely stunning chugging guitar attack. There is no arguing with that start, absolutely mesmerising.” –  Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

“Up next was Centuries Of Decay, who gave us some atmospheric death metal. Devin Doucette and Rob McAllister shared guitar and vocal duties. Devin sang lead and handled a chunk of the brutal vocals but they gave a few great harmonized melodic vocals. Their last song had an additive time signature, which is something that really catches my attention as a musician.” – Metal Master Kingdom (Live Review Wacken Metal Battle Canada 2016 – Toronto)

“We’ve often thought about the fragility of civilization throughout history and the idea of events repeating itself.

Teaming up with MetalWani.com, the band reveals their second single “Wings of Death”, a song about religious and political propaganda and how it’s use to draw lines between people and nations. The lyrical content of this song draws from influences from George Orwell’s 1984. The song was written as two halves, a slower heavier groove, then kicking into fast paced death metal with some vocal harmonies by guitarists Rob McAllister and Devin Doucette.
