Countless Skies
New Dawn
Countless Skies burst onto the metal scene with their self-titled EP in late 2014. Blending progressive and darkly intense music influenced by their Scandinavian melodeth heroes (mainly Insomnium and BeLakor), the EP received acclaim worldwide and began a flood of shows up and down their native UK with multiple highlights including an invitation to Bloodstock Open Air 2015. Building upon their rapid momentum, the band soon caught the attention of Kolony Records, a deal was signed and the band began work on their debut full length. New Dawn was released June 2016 and was praised "as an effortless display of bravado and musicianship in ways that I can't soundly describe," by USA's New Noise Magazine and an impressive debut from the UK's Metal Hammer. Several tours followed including a UK run with Finnish band 'Whispered' and their first stints abroad, appearing at multiple European festivals such as Dark Troll Festival, Skaldenfest, and MetalDays. The record sold over 1500 copies from 2016 to 2019 and nowdays still collects several thousands of monthly streamings over Spotify. In 2023 Masked Dead Records repressed "New Dawn" on CD.
