Named after Be’lakor song ‘Countless Skies’, the English quartet burst onto the modern metal scene with their blend of progressive and darkly intense music influenced by their Scandinavian melodeath heroes, the self-titled EP began a flood of shows up and down the UK. After winning the Bedfordshire ‘Metal to the Masses’ competition, Countless Skies played a triumphant gig on the ‘New Blood’ stage at the UK’s No1 independent metal festival, Bloodstock Open Air in Summer 2015. With such a tremendous start, the future looks bright for Countless Skies!
Following the success of their acclaimed self-titled EP, released late 2014, emerging Hertfordshire UK melodic death metal quartet Countless Skies are on the cusp of releasing their much anticipated debut album New Dawn. With a deal inked with Italian label Kolony Records, New Dawn hits the shelves officially on 24th June 2016.

Released: 20/05/2016
The video for which was edited by Andy Pilkington of Very Metal Art.
Their guitarist James explains a bit about the track below:
"Incendium is one of our fastest and most energetic songs yet - it's a load of fun to play and really pushes us as musicians. People who have listened to our previous material will notice a big change, and you'll certainly hear more variety on 'New Dawn'."
New Dawn was recorded by Danny Biggin at HVR Studios before seeing its mix and master under the scrutiny of Juho Räihä at SoundSpiral Audio. The artwork was crafted once again by the talented Carl Ellis. Tracklisting for the album can be seen below.
