Deep respect is what I feel hearing this record for the xx-th time. In 2006 Tim Roth (guitar, vocals) lost 2 of his best friends to the unfair disease cancer. And as if that was not enough also his father suffered from this incurable disease and passed away the same year just before Christmas.
Roth channelled his emotions into a moving and riveting album. "The Incurable Tragedy" is Into Eternity's first concept album in which Roth puts all his emotions and anger. To give a description of the songs and the music is a very tough job. Expect heavy grooves, stop-on-a-dime time changes, shredding solos, clean choruses, guttural and sometimes clean vocals. For those familiar with their earlier records, they know about what to expect. But this is their most extreme so far.
When you follow the songs, you hear every emotion coming back in their music. The unbelief, the love, the dismay, the incomprehension, the incapacity to help, the impotence, the grief, the anger and the sorrow. The vocals differ from emotion to emotion, sometimes screaming, sometimes growling, then serene and sometimes very high pitched. Also the music differs from very aggressive and fast to serene emotional, then again very progressive and heavy.
Into Eternity made the 'perfect' soundtrack for one of the world’s cruellest tragedies. This record expresses my feelings losing my mother last year (September 6.). Thanks for that!!
