"The last reviewer said these guys are better than Opeth...well I would not go that far (not even close to that far), but they are VERY good. Definitly one of my top 10 bands. I bought this CD though, because of a few reviewers who mentioned that if you liked Opeth you would like these guys. On first listen, I thought, "Ummm...what were they thinking?" After a few more listens I changed my tune. They sound much different than Opeth, yet have many common attributes which is what I think attracts lovers of Opeth...the changes from ultra-heavy to mellow and melodic, the use of solid clean vocals and nice, heavy growling, and the excellent song writing. The music is certainly not as awe-inspiring as Opeth, but in this world where 5 star worthy music is hard to come by, Into Eternity is a joyous discovery."

"INTO ETERNITY - Dead or Dreaming

-

Canada's Into Eternity is by far one of the most creative metal bands around... Not just in this Country, but in the metal world as a whole. Their styles and influences are greatly varied... it is seldom that a band is able incorporate so many different styles into their music. In addition to their top notch Musicianship, they also use a multi-vocalist assault. (An actual singer /screamer, plus the guitars and bass players lend their voices as back ups.) Which only further adds to their unique Metal Approach. Though I heard this album after their Masterpiece "Buried in Oblivion"... "Dead or Dreaming" still sounds incredible. Granted the production is a bit more `raw' but the song writing is just as good. And even though they've clearly grown as musicians their performance on this CD is still note worth... These guys have a fantastic Rhythm section, Drums are incredible and the Bass is audible and sounds great... And then of course there is the Guitar playing... lots of great licks and tons of classic and some not so classic solos. Easily some of the finest young talent around in todays Metal world.

Favorite Songs: Absolution of the Soul, Distant Pale Future, Selling God, and Cyber Messiah.

-4.5 Stars.

"this is one of the best style blending groups ever in history of metal. i like it even better than dream theater and opeth. these guys have riveting melodies and ripping vocals that just annihalate you with the diversity of their music."
