Hertfordshire, England-based melodic death metal group Countless Skies issued second full-length studio album Glow on November 6th, 2020 through Willowtip Records.
Glow can be streamed in its entirety via YouTube below.
The bulk of Glow was recorded in the home studio of guitarist James Pratt, namely Cinnamon Studios. “It took a lot of learning and some expensive purchases, but it did have its upside,” Pratt commented. “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.”
Drums were recorded by Forbes Coleman at Audiobeach Studios in Brighton, England.
Guest vocalists as part of the choir on the track ‘Summit’ include Anthony Trimming, RJ Learmouth, and Vicky Harley.
‘Summit’ and ‘Glow – Part 1: Resolution’ feature cello parts from Arianna Mahsayeh, while piano parts were lent to the songs ‘Tempest’, ‘Zephyr’, and ‘Glow – Part 1: Resolution’ by Marcello Ciciriello.
Glow was mixed and mastered by Juho Räihä of SoundSpiral Audio in Kouvola, Finland.
Cover artwork duties fell to Carl Ellis.
