I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times, and I’ll say it again: I fucking love melodic death metal. It is by far my favorite kind of metal followed closely by groove and regular death. And if you’d ask me what my favorite melodic death metal bands out there today are before I heard Countless Skies I’d say Amon Amarth and Despite. But after hearing this beautiful album Countless Skies is definitely up there among my top 3 now. Their debut self-titled EP is just . . . it’s fucking amazing. I honestly cannot find the proper words to explain how great I think this is. It’s one of those albums for me that got down deep inside and really touched something special that really made me click with the album, you know? The changes between the more death metal-y parts and the calmer and great sounds bits are just phenomenal with their execution and effect they had on my ears. I’m on the album’s third rotation and it still sounds as amazing as it did the first time. The vocals in this are also more on the death metal side but obviously have that melody in there for extra effect which do their job exceedingly well for the entire album. The guitars have a killer rhythm and having great sound along with the awesome beat of the drums. Oh, yeah, and the cover art – beautiful. Countless Skies have made an amazing album that is one to be treasured for a long while and is definitely a sign of amazing things to come from this great band.
