Tim Roth (musician)
Encyclopedia
Tim Roth is the guitarist, backing vocalist and only remaining founding member of Canadian melodic death metal
and progressive metal
band, Into Eternity. Roth is very much the mastermind of Into Eternity, plays the majority of their guitar solos and also was originally the lead vocalist. His primary guitar is an Ibanez
S470, and has said that he does not use amplifiers in studio recordings, but uses instead a program called Amp Farm.
He has been playing guitar for 18–19 years. He has a somewhat unconventional style of playing revolved on his unique alternate picking style and sweep/tap arpeggios. His vocal style consists of high pitched clean power metal vocals and a more black metal
oriented shriek (complementing the deeper death metal
growls of his co-vocalists). He has posted several videos on YouTube
teaching viewers how to play Into Eternity songs and IE's musical style in general.
