This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Into Eternity? More like Into ’80s Metal. And in a big way.
This Regina outfit may look and act the part of contemporary death-thrash bruisers, but way deep down, their inner rockers sport backcombed hair and zebra-striped Spandex. In one of the oddest musical juxtapositions I’ve come across lately, Into Eternity have found a way to successfully combine the tight-trousered vocals and layered harmonies of classic rock with the bludgeoning power and guttural growls of modern metal — and, just to add to the confusion, the fleet-fingered guitar symphonics and unbelievably tight arrangements of prog. Imagine the devil-spawn love child of Iron Maiden, Venom and Yes — if your head doesn’t explode in the process — and you might get close to describing the sound of their distinctive and destructive third disc Buried in Oblivion.
