For the past 15 years, this French band has been producing hybrid music rich in influences, as difficult to define as it is easy to recognise. Skilfully blending black metal, post-metal and hardcore, CELESTE have crafted a music that is as singular as it is violent, oppressive and dark. While the band is renowned for its musical output, it is also renowned for the apocalyptic, harrowing experience of its concerts, where the audience is plunged into complete darkness and thick smoke, with only the strobe flashes and red beams of the headlamps worn by the 4 musicians to guide them.
