Heroes 04:19
"There were no more wise men; there were no more heroes..." F. Scott Fitzgerald A world familiar in stranger light A rift in sterile order and chaos of the night There are no heroes, there are no wise men We live alone, beware the heinous Afeard, tyrannised Speak not in chorus But tonight we lead the race Come the reason On blinded eyes Call on thunder Release the rain If we should fall We fall for a higher cause One life means nothing In the chaos of the storm from which we're born The sky will fall for all The rain came crashing down on us No pain, no fear. Behold the martyr And between heroes we die alone We live in rage, believe the fearless A veil of false command Propelled by memory We join to fill the night For all of us Our wake will see The shores of Eden In its time Some will fall, some will die So more the calling to fight We feed the fire, we light the flame And between heroes we die as one
3.
Incendium 04:39
To breath in flames To feed the only fire that I cannot explain In time, enrage Defeat the mountain that has held me back today Release the fire Begin the flames Become the fury The wrath untamed Carry the fear Above the mind Clearing the path That lay entwined Be the change That gifts us freedom Be the reason We savour life Feed the fire Become the rage Burn the ego And live today Hold the light That fills our emptiness Face the dark And burn eternally Between the light and glowing embers Burns the heart of creation A flaming elegance In which I know myself
4.
Solace 05:14
Still is the day that marries the shade As eternal night descends Long is the eve that holds no reprieve From a torment without end Beneath a starlit sky, a faint and doleful sigh No wind to carry it beyond this empty realm The light was all but gone when sang this mournful song But not a soul in sight could hear this verse of overwhelming grief Still is the night that holds no respite As the hours turn to years Long is the day undying and grey Where the sun has disappeared "In each of these eyes Lay the answer But time left them blind So now I wander" In the absence of light Where time has lost its place A labyrinth of broken dreams A token of her grace As the fallen leaves Return to paint the path Her final resting place Will shimmer with the stars
5.
Daybreak 04:19
Racing the sun Forever just beyond your grasp Outrun the dark Consuming all within its path Though the weary sun Returns to greet the morn The night is always darkest Before the break of dawn Follow the trail That reaches far from all you've known As the fading light Illuminates the way back home Hold on The night is always darkest before The break of dawn
6.
Ethereal 06:05
Waves crash against the strand Her faint voice calls From beneath the depths below Far in to the distance Lights beam out across The vast abyss Lost I fear that I will never find the strength again I feel that I have suffered far too long, I’ve given all I can I was told that there was something more But now I'm filled with doubt, drifting from the shore Cold and still I gaze Up far above Where all I know is gone Senses fade as time stops I give up I Can’t hold on forever Spiralling, dragging deeper down Into the undertow Crushed by its cold embrace In numbing silence, I drift away Tenacious and Majestic Infinite and Absolute Enduring and Composing Constant and Unrelenting Stubborn and Obstinate Beckoning and Beguiling As the storm subsides I feel the sun It seems so far away I strain to stay awake As consciousness Fades I know my time has come
7.
Wanderer 07:03
The bonds of loss and suffering A burden for the weaker mind Come walk with me on the greater road Through golden paths, to nowhere Leave all of yourself and the world behind I am the wanderer, and I live forever The mind can see what the eyes cannot Our senses have endlessly been fooled We cannot move mountains with a wish But give all we have and ascend the peak Break free You owe no debt today Break free To live the mindful way
8.
Return 10:19
[Part I] Like the river to the sea Like the sunrise to the dawn Everything that's meant to be returns Like the calling of the wind Like the faces of the moon It's familiar light will guide you home Take my hand Don't look back Don't look back The journeys taken The changes made Will only lead you here to yourself Don't stay in shadow Never stand in awe Look ahead and be free [Part II] (Instrumental) [Part III] Days flow free And pass the shore No words for me The pain of growing older Enlightenment in time The mortal trail Each dawn a little colder Long shadowed ways behind The mortal trail Hope goes by The mask of you Confined to yourself Moments cross And sail beyond you Too afraid to take The pain of growing older Enlightenment in time The mortal trail Each dawn a little colder Long shadowed ways behind The mortal trail [Part IV] Like the father to the son Like the tiller to the field Every day begins a further trial Like the poem to the man Like the measure to the song Be the start of something greater here Take my hand Don't look back Don't look back

about

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.

Named after Be'lakor's song 'Countless Skies', the band burst onto the modern metal scene with their debut self-titled EP in late 2014. Blending progressive and darkly intense music influenced by their Scandinavian melodeath heroes, the 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!

"If you like high-octane melodic Death Metal and bands like Be’lakor, Insomnium, etc., this is one release you cannot miss out on." - Infernalmasquerade.com

"The latest effort (and debut full length) from the English group, titled New Dawn, is an uplifting barrage of melodic death metal that forces an audience to reach a new level of existence. From the imagery to the music, it both inspires and creates a peaceful energy that is extremely difficult to turn away from." - Ninecircles.co

"To say that New Dawn is anything less than a masterpiece would be shortchanging an absolutely astonishing and breathtaking work of art" - Grimpacificnorth.com
