Into Eternity: 'The Incurable Tragedy'
Century Media Records has set an August 25 European release date for 'The Incurable Tragedy', the new album (their 5th) from the Canadian progressive metal titans Into Eternity. The band's first conceptual offering will be released in North America on September 2.
'The Incurable Tragedy', marks the band's first recording effort with Justin Bender (guitars) and Steve Bolognese (drums), who came aboard shortly after the group finished Gigantour '06. This CD was inspired by the deaths of Tim Roth's (guitar, vocals) two best friends, brothers who succumbed to cancer within two months of one another. To make matters worse, Roth's father was diagnosed with cancer as well. Showing no mercy, the disease claimed his life last year, just 10 days before Christmas. Roth channeled his emotions into a moving and riveting album which is sure to propel the band to new heights within the genre. 'The Incurable Tragedy' features a slew of tracks with the band's trademarked heavy grooves, stop-on-a-dime time changes, reflective lyrics, memorable choruses, shredding solos, and vocals that range from guttural growls to soaring harmonies.
