Biography
An extreme metal band that sings about love? For crooners and teenage heartthrobs that’s par for the course but for a band that oscillates between sludge, black metal and post hardcore that’s a bit out of the ordinary. Enter Celeste, a French underground combo whose sixth album ‘Assassine(s)’ was recently released on Nuclear Blast. They build a concrete riff wall slathered with spine-chilling melodies that grab the listener by the throat and are a perfect match for the lyrics: they tell of a once-passionate love that is since dead and buried, turning love into a slow and merciless killer. In other words, a universal theme that can befall us all and for which Celeste delivers the perfect soundtrack (#GMM22)
