Canada's INTO ETERNITY Reveal New Album Artwork

Technically progressive metal band INTO ETERNITY "'in whose music heavy metal's potential is born anew," (Metal Maniacs) have posted The Scattering Of Ashes cover art here. With cover art was designed by Mattias Noren (Stratovarius, Evergrey), the album is scheduled for an October 3 North American release. Vocalist Stu Block commented, "Mattias designed the first three INTO ETERNITY album covers (Into Eternity, Dead Or Dreaming and Buried in Oblivion). They have all been amazing but yet different in their own way. There was no doubt in our minds that The Scattering Of Ashes cover would live up to those expectations. Mattias is a really talented guy and all we had to do was tell him the album title and that we wanted it to have a dark feeling to it, so he ran with it and nailed it pretty much right away. We are all really happy with the end result of the artwork, layout and sound of the album. We have been listening to the mixed and mastered version of the album from Andy Sneap (Arch Enemy, Killswitch Engage) and it sounds absolutely killer!! This album is definitely one of the most aggressive INTO ETERNITY albums ever, and now with Andy's touch on it it's over the top Metal Madness!!!"

INTO ETERNITY circumnavigated North America five times in support of 2004's Buried In Oblivion touring with among others Amorphis, Hate Eternal and Krisiun, Hammerfall and Edguy, Nevermore and Opeth, and Stratovarius. Shattering genre barriers each tour recruited the band different fans who appreciated, like the LA Weekly, that "chops, melody and brutality coalesce musically in the busy hands of INTO ETERNITY." Look for the band to tour extensively in support of The Scattering Of Ashes starting in North America this fall.
