Hailing from Finland, the power metal quintet CELESTY is proud to announce the anticipated fifth, yet untitled album is on its way.
"Our plan is to pre-produce the whole album during the spring so we'll be ready to enter the studio and start to think about the release schedule" explains drummer Jere Luokkamäki.
CELESTY's fourth album, Vendetta, was released by Spinefarm Records in March 2009. The release was highly praised by both the media and the fans. With Vendetta Celesty was able to have a breakthrough in the UK, where the band also toured in October 2010 as a part of 'Boneshakers 2010' tour.
"We did a lot of work in 2010. There was a healthy amount of gigs, and despite of some change of band members, we did extremely well. After the tour we decided to have some vacation from the band activities before starting to work on the new material. At least that was the plan, but we couldn't separate ourselves from the music and still ended up composing new songs" Luokkamäki laughs.
Along with the composing, the band has also been actively rehearsing. "We actually just got a new, bigger rehearsing space where we've been demoing the new songs. And we've already became veeery familiar with our rehearsing room."

If you haven't heard some Celesty I'd strongly recommend giving them a listen. Great catchy, upbeat, melodic stuff. Band has been through quite a few line-up changes, including a recent new vocalist Tony Turunen, brother of ex-Nightwish's Tarja.
