If you use streaming services to listen to music, please do yourself a favor and check out any of the bands in the similar artists section of whatever band you're currently listening to, that's how I found this fantastic album. A tip for everyone: search around in the similar artists, you may find yourself an underground masterpiece!

The album has a perfect guitar tone, similar to the tone on Defeated Sanity's album "Passages Into Deformity" but with a more buried sound. It creates more heaviness and layers of brutality within the songwriting. The drumming done by female drummer Cindy Chaco is fantastic and absolutely talented. Proper and flawless blast beats, tempo changes, fills, everything. It's also very rare to have a female member in a brutal death metal band like this, so props to her for being a great drummer and keeping this shit real!

The vocals are similar to Omnipotent Hysteria and Wormed. Embodiment Torment is another band with top notch playing + songwriting accompanied by nasty gutturals that focus the music on having a nasty, yet professionally crafted sound. As soon as I heard the music I was INSTANTLY reminded of the band 01101111011101100110111001101001. The guitars sound very similar, I guess 0110111 took influence from this band, because the guitar tone/sound are nearly the same. This album reminds me of 01101111, but on crack.

Bass is worth mentioning, on albums like these it's usually more hearable, it sure is here. I forgot which song it was, but there was a part where everything stopped playing and the bass shined for a few seconds, like how the bass does on the Origin song 'The Aftermath' at 00:31 seconds. Not the SAME but it's pretty similar.

A+ guitar tone, clanky snare, consistent drumming, audible bass, nasty gutturals; yet again another brutal death metal album that IS THE entire package! If you enjoy albums like "Abattoir of Slain Deities", "Planisphærium", "Agonized Wails of Disseverment", "Desolated Realms Through Iniquity", "S/2004s3", etc. You will love this album. Another new kickass brutal death metal album that I love and will jam often, as well as another band I'm adding to the list of the bands that I know. Great record! This is brutal death metal at its best right here! Listen to this, highly recommended!

Review by Adam M on November 14, 2018.

Into Eternity brings melody and aggression to the forefront on their new album The Sirens.  The album is a difficult one to categorize because it brings several elements to the table.  There is definitely a progressive slant to the proceedings as the songs undergo winding structures.  Fringes of Psychosis shows off some cool guitar work, but within the framework of a melodic structure, which is really cool.  Similarly, other songs vary in structure and are hard to pinpoint.  What is clear is that the band is able to mix complex structures with more melodic ones to form a varied and interesting platter.

The complex sections aren’t really so much like Dream Theater as a one of a kind style created by the band.  Also, the melodic death sections aren’t the same as At the Gates even though they are melodic.  The result is a concoction created by the band that is unique and fresh and makes its impact felt strongly.  The musical performances are all worthy of attention.  Guitars are creative, yet melodic at different junctures.  Solos are intense and thoughtful.  The drumming is nimble and matches the songs nicely.  Vocally, Amanda Kiernan in particular made an impact on me and fit nicely into the progressive space the band occupies.  I was at times reminded of Fates Warning on this album although the music is very far from similar to them. 

The uniqueness of the band is balanced with the charisma to create something that is very special indeed.  I find the music a little underwhelming and the production could be punchier, but these are just small flaws.  Overall, this is a fun and diverse offering that has a little bit of something for any metal fan.  It thus gets a strong enough recommendation.  Whether the band is melodic death metal or progressive metal is up for you to decide.
