Sounds Like: Celestine spilar nÃðþungt sÃðþungarokk à anda Isis, þar sem grÃðaröflugir mÃnimalÃskir kaflar eru brotnir upp með tilraunakenndum „atmosferÃskum" innslögum. Söngurinn er nÃstandi, svo tilfinningaþrunginn er hann, og tónlistin ryðst áfram lÃkt og hlustandinn standi berskjaldaður frammi fyrir beljandi Dettifossi. Efnilegasta þungarokkssveit landsins? Ekki spurning.
- Arnar Eggert Thoroddsen, Morgunblaðið
I’m quietly kicking myself for not having paid attention to Celestine earlier. What tightness they might lack in the live setting, they more than make up for with their ear shattering intensity. For pure unadulterated heaviness, theirs is definitely the level for which to aspire to. The drummer is a man with the mission of breaking cymbals and bursting drum heads, while the singer seems to be going through some sort of primeval catharsis. Meanwhile, the guitarists belt out riffs so thick and harsh they defy adjectives. Equipment failure plagued the band throughout the set but was quickly mended. The end result resembled what you’d get by filtering slower Converge tracks through a sieve of early Isis.
