 The atmospheric dreamgaze post-metal band Cloudy Skies, established 2019 in Paris, are duo Lionel and Nicolas, who were both active in bands such as Ambryo (metal / hardcore, 2000 2009) and Eyes Front North (blackened post-metal, 2009-2019). The main idea for this new project was to change direction by crafting an odd and beautiful landscape nourished by not only ‘metal’ but also by the many other music genres Lionel and Nicolas love, such as indie rock, ambient, post-rock and anything dark and alternative.
 As the songs are the reflection of the composers’ soul, it was important for them to impregnate their emotions into their music. It could sound like a cliché but sensitivity is part of Cloudy Skies. Lionel and Nicolas composed and recorded everything
except for the drums. For that task they hired the talented Conny Pettersson (Anata, Eternal Lies, Trojan Dogs a.o.) to perform subtle, ethereal, groovy and brutal drum parts.
 The band focused on sound quality and took particular care in fine-tuning the mixing. As for the mastering, it has been processed by the great Magnus Lindberg, responsible for many great albums (Cult Of Luna, Ghost, Switchblade, Pg.Lost). This has resulted in a clear, spacious and massive audio experience.
 For fans of Katatonia, Deafheaven, Caspian, Alcest, Primordial, Russian Circles, Anathema, Type O Negative, Deftones, Cult Of Luna, Paradise Lost, Solstafir.
