The follow-up to 2016’s full-length debut "New Dawn", Glow takes the band’s progressive brand of melodeth to new heights with richly-layered instrumentation, superb musicianship and raw emotion. Thematically, Glow is based on the album’s epic title track, a 20-minute opus split into three parts.
The bulk of the album was recorded in the home studio of guitarist James Pratt. James had this to say about the process:
“It took a lot of learning and some expensive purchases, but it did
have its upside. Not under the normal time constraints of being in a
studio, we could take more risks, and get better performances from
everyone. We also spent a lot of time adding more layers, harmonies, and
even some extra instruments.”
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, 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.
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. “Countless
Skies have what it takes to really blossom in to something original and
beautiful... a band with great skill and even greater potential,” stated
Zero Tolerance Magazine.
With applause the world over following the
release of New Dawn, the band embarked on a UK tour with Finland’s
'Whispered'. Several shorter tours followed including their first stints
abroad, appearing at multiple European festivals such as Dark Troll
Festival, Skaldenfest, and MetalDays.
