Into Eternity - Buried In Oblivion

I discovered Into Eternity in 2004 after Buried In Oblivion was released. I came across their album on a Century Media pamphlet that came in another CD I bought. Good thing too, because I bought this CD on an instinct that it'd be a good buy. They didn't disappoint.



Into Eternity is a metal band that I would compare to Opeth if I had to say anything. They have a very hard sound; death growling singers, shredding guitar riffs, a drummer than can keep up with awesome beats, rhythms and is mixed really well, especially on this album. That's part of the problem though... I hear they're not very good live, which is a huge dissapointment. I guess they're more of the Def Leppard type where they work their magic in the studio in order to have a badass sound. There's plenty of groups like this, so it's not really a shock to me. The death growls listed above is a for sure thing, but they also blend in singing by an awesome singer that can hit the high notes, but still fit the sound into the metal. Very cool harmonies by these guys happen often.

The song below is one of the best songs I have in my catelog, and it's not Metal at all. Those of you that aren't into the hard stuff, please give this a listen regardless. The aucoustic guitars are so well balanced, beautiful and intricate, and the singer's voice is AWESOME in this one. No growls at all for all you haters out there. The lyrics are rather dark, but that just suits the band. They have an image to uphold.


Isn't it nice that you can buy a song for less than a buck these days? It's less than a McDonalds Dollar Menu item. Keep your yogurt parfait MceeDees... I'll stick with rockin' out.


*Carpe Diem*
