Long-running Finnish "dark metal" band THROES OF DAWN has posted a new song, "Ignition of the Grey Sky", on the group's MySpace page.

The CD will be made available as both a digiback CD and a limited double LP with 24-bit mastering. The double LP will include two bonus songs.

"The Great Fleet of Echoes" was recorded at Timo Kotipelto's (STRATOVARIUS) studio and was mastered at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki.

Commented singer Henri Koivula: "'The Great Fleet of Echoes' is a clear expansion in the bands songwriting. Showing more versatile, progressive and melodic approach into the gloom and melancholy our music reflects. A firm and logical step forward."
