Melodic death metallers COUNTLESS SKIES are due to hit the road soon on a stretch of dates that takes them around England, playing with a vast range of metal bands. Coming off the back of November’s self-titled EP, the quartet are extremely excited to bring these incredible tracks to a wider audience. The first of these dates is Bloodstock’s Metal To The Masses, a competition where the winner gets a slot at the prestigious festival.
Initially starting as Hatespire, the band came to be in the summer of 2009 in a small flat in England. Long-time friends Ross King and James Pratt worked together to create a three-track demo, which blended progressive and intensely dark music influenced by their Scandinavian heroes. While complications caused the band to temporarily lose their momentum, they returned stronger after a four year slumber under the new guise of Countless Skies. Taking their previous sound and blending it with new influences whilst keeping the same dark twist, their first EP is a bold step in the right direction, reclaiming England’s stake in the melodic death metal field.
