The atmospheric dreamgaze post-metal band Cloudy Skies, est. 2019 - Paris - France, is a duo led by Lionel & Nicolas, who were both active in bands as Ambryo (metal/hardcore 2000-2009) and Eyes Front North (blackened post-metal 2009-2019). The main idea for this new project was to literally to change direction by crafting an odd and beautiful landscape nourished by not only ‘metal’, but also 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 composer's 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 track 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.
