Canadian progressive metal titans INTO ETERNITY kick off their American touring
cycle for their new album, "The Incurable Tragedy", on September 21 with genre
leaders ICED EARTH. The North American trek follows the album's September 2
release and fans can expect to hear a lot of new material from the band's first
conceptual offering.

Commented INTO ETERNITY's Tim Roth (guitars, vocals): "ICED EARTH is a band that
we have been waiting to tour with. I have been a fan since the early Century
Media days and even wore a shirt of theirs in our album sleeve of our 'Dead Or
Dreaming' album. I know Justin Bender (guitars) even traveled to Minneapolis to
see the band years ago. It's a 25-hour round trip, so he has to be a fan! Ha!

"Playing with a band that you actually love makes all the touring we do a lot
more fun. It will be my first time ever seeing the band so I personally can't
wait! A big thanks to Jon [Schaffer, ICED EARTH mainman] for giving us this
chance. It will be a perfect tour to kick start our new cycle in support of 'The
Incurable Tragedy'. Fans can expect lots of fast drumming, high singing,
shredding solos and hate filled death vocals. We look forward to seeing you all
soon."

INTO ETERNITY's first concept album, "The Incurable Tragedy", also marks the
first recording effort with Justin Bender (guitars) and Steve Bolognese (drums),
who came aboard shortly after the band finished Gigantour '06. This offering 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, 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 which is sure to propel the band to new heights
within the genre. "The Incurable Tragedy" features a slew of tracks with the
band's trademarked heavy grooves, stop-on-a-dime time changes, reflective
lyrics, memorable choruses, shredding solos, and vocals that range from guttural
growls to soaring harmonies.
