INTO ETERNITY Recording Drummer JIM AUSTIN To Perform With Band On GIGANTOUR

August 8, 2006

Canada's INTO ETERNITY has announced that longtime recording drummer Jim Austin will be joining them on their 2006 Gigantour dates. Not able to tour with the band for their five 2005 North American tours, Austin is ecstatic to be able to perform with the band for this run of dates. "It's been two years since I left the INTO ETERNITY camp — and when I was asked to record the fourth album, 'The Scattering Of Ashes', I was truly excited! It was great to play a few live shows with them again at New England Metal and Hardcore Festival and opening for GAMMA RAY. 'The Scattering Of Ashes' is the most challenging album to date and is definitely my best foot forth, drumming wise. I'm also extremely excited to be able to join the Gigantour with some of my favorite bands. Just to share the stage with MEGADETH is an honor I am seriously losing sleep over every night that passes by — as the shows come closer."

Last week the first single, "Severe Emotional Distress", from the band's forthcoming album was premiered on Gigantour's MySpace page and later posted on Gigantour's web site. With more than 20,000 listens, the song is a definite success for INTO ETERNITY. Set for release on Oct. 3, "The Scattering Of Ashes" was mixed and mastered by Andy Sneap (KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, ARCH ENEMY). More information about the band, photos, MP3s and album artwork can be found here.
