Celesty is a Finnish power metal band from Seinäjoki .
history
The band Celesty was founded in 1998 under the name Celestial , which lasted until 2000. A year later, the first demo Warrior of Ice was released, which was immediately followed by a second demo in 2002 with Times Before the Ice . Celesty then signed a record deal with the Spanish label Arise Records .
On the debut album Reign of Elements (December 2002, with a guitar solo by Jani Liimatainen from Sonata Arctica in the song Revenge ) as well as the follow-up works Legacy of Hate (May 2004) and Mortal Mind Creation (October 2006), the band creates “a fantasy story of their own” a royal family in a world called Cryon ”. In 2009 the fourth album Vendetta was released .
style
In addition to the fast guitar and keyboard solos, typical for the band are the blastbeats , the "double bass and gallop-like rhythms" by drummer Jere Luokkamäki, which Antti Railio "counteracts with long, breathtaking vocal traces". Alternatively, the style is also referred to as "Power Metal [with] various Thrash moments". With the debut album, the French VS Webzine also recognized a proximity to Helloween .
