If the 80's had thrash and heavy metal, and the 90's had death and prog metal...

Into Eternity is simply amazing, I love their new album. Wish there were more bands out there like them, but they're doing some pretty original stuff right now with all members doing high end vocal harmonies but still having intense death riffs you can mosh too. I'm sure Canada is riddled with more bands like Into Eternity....I mean shit if Saskatchewan can churn out a band like Into Eternity.....Quebec should be able to better than with a half dozen bands :grin:
 
ha ha, this is what Into Eternity said on their site about themselves:

We "are carefully chosen, active, human conduits of non-conformity"

I officially don't like this band one bit now.
 
ha ha... i hate people who go on about how "non conformist" they are.

Look on the site, they've all got short hair, wearing adidas shoes, it's freakin hilarious :lol:
 
Of all the current genres of metal, the only one I don't know for sure was around in the 80s is Gothic Metal and Classical Metal (like Therion, not Neoclassical like Yngwie). All of the others had bands in the 80s (albeit Prog Metal was very late 80s - 89 was when Dream Theater's debut came out). Since then bands have just been mixing them together. I'm not sure what my point is, so I'll just shut up now. Oh, and Into Eternity are excellent, made my top 10 this year.

Everyone keeps saying that Into Eternity are prog... :err: But they aren't. I haven't heard the full album tho, only the first album. Only a few tracks from the newest one, it seems fairly in flames-ish, simple stuff. The power/death vocals is a good idea tho!

I didn't really mean "Prog started in the 90's", that's really when the bulk of it happneed, more bands started doing it, and more bands started doing it WELL. THe first Dream Theater album is hideously bad :lol:
 
I'm a big fan of Melodic Death Metal... (Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquillity on the Gothenberg side, In Flames...) But I also like some rough power metal, like Primal Fear, and Melodic Thrash, like our boys here, so while any "thing" this decade will be nice, I hope for more Melodic Death Metal to come around. (Yes, I capitalize it.)
