Is this the new song being played on tour? or at least the new one that was played in Minnesota?

Man I nearly shat myself when I saw on myspace Into Eternity added a new song. Can't wait to see them August 23. Everything in that song is great. I was interested in hearing how the drums would be without Jim Austin writing the parts and everything is great. Can't wait to see them in three weeks and can't wait to buy their new album.

Great song!

Found this on Blabbermouth:

For proof that from great suffering comes great art, look no further than INTO ETERNITY founding guitarist/principal songwriter Tim Roth. Much as he drew inspiration from his mother's passing when writing the band's critically acclaimed 2006 release, "The Scattering Of Ashes", Roth again found the strength and resilience to turn negatives into positives on the "extreme progressive metal" band's forthcoming release, "The Incurable Tragedy".

INTO ETERNITY's first concept album, "The Incurable Tragedy" was inspired by the deaths of Roth's two best friends, brothers who succumbed to cancer within two months of one another. To make matters worse, when the band began demoing new material shortly after the completion of the "Scattering" tour — a star-making year of shows that saw the band perform alongside such internationally renowned acts as DREAM THEATER, LAMB OF GOD, MEGADETH, OPETH, ARCH ENEMY, THE HAUNTED and DARK TRANQUILLITY — 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, due out on Century Media Records this summer. This spring, however, the band will take a break from the studio to tour throughout North America with like-minded progressive metal shredders SYMPHONY X. That trek will be followed by the band's first tour of Japan, where they will perform alongside AT THE GATES, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, MAYHEM and PIG DESTROYER at the prestigious "Extreme The Dojo" festivals.

To tide fans over until the release of "The Incurable Tragedy", the band has posted on its MySpace an unmastered rough mix of a brand new song, "Diagnosis Terminal", which it will perform live at each of their spring concerts. The track is classic INTO ETERNITY, featuring a heavy groove, stop-on-a-dime time changes, reflective lyrics, a memorable chorus, a string-shredding solo, and vocals that range from guttural growls to soaring harmonies.

"'Diagnosis Terminal' is one of the heaviest songs on the new record," Roth says. "The song started with a chorus I had written. Justin (Bender, guitars) then sent me a MP3 demo of a few killer riffs he had, and the song was born. The key I had my chorus in didn't match the pitch of his new riffs, so that's how we came up with the idea of having the same chorus, but in two different keys. I think it sounds clever now, but it was actually just a mistake!

"The whole song has some whacked-out time changes, but we tried to make it all sound as smooth as we could," he continues. "It's tough to make off-time riffs sound natural, but that is the fun of playing in a progressive metal band. I really enjoy the interlude in the middle and the end of the song. On the new record, we have a few riffs in 9/8 and the main solo in 'Diagnosis' is a good example of that.

"After we finished up the music, Stu (Block, vocals) came in and wrote all the melodies and lyrics, and the song 'Diagnosis Terminal' was born. The whole band was involved in this song, and I'm really happy with the way it all turned out."

sounds awesome but deffinitly needs mastering, the double bass is too loud.

I love it! This is some of their most brutal work. Is it just me or is there more effects on the vocals, particularly on the death vocals?

I am pretty sure that there are no effects considering there is unmixed.

um demo?

IE is one of the most complex bands around. This new song, although a little rough, is fucking awesome. Can't wait for The Incurable Tragedy to be released. It's going to be a great year with IE, Opeth and Scar Symmetry releasing new albums!

They played it here in Philly.


Love the song

 

[ShadowsWithin]

gee ya think?

I just hope, and PRAY that they fix the bass drum sound on the new album. I understand the need for triggers to give clarity at some of the higher speeds (ala severe emotional distress), but those same triggers also ruined some of the lighter moments of the album (Surrounded by Night comes to mind). Just my opinion on things, but who the fuck am I? Just wanted to throw it out there that a more natural drum sound seems to fit better than the Overly processed sounds.

 

[Pakistexican88x]

nah i agree. The bass drum on TSoA was pretty bad. I'm hoping they fix that too.
