Description
Double album on black vinyls with gatefold cover
Celestia is a brilliant black metal act with former members of Peste Noir. The 2008 album Frigidiis Apotheosia Abstinence Genesiis with its slow but progressive passages, despair, harsh vocal and a particular smell to French Metal with ambiental passages and subtle drums (programmed), which layers slower and faster that burst dizzily as well as the harsh voices that remind me of Fear of Eternity with an atmosphere that envelops you without being fully depressed, acoustic passages, instrumental and some traditional elements and riffs that build up second-to-second a sublime technical highly moment that make a mixture of modern Black Metal depressive with a lovely speed and that it still becoming one of my most precious discoveries of the genre lately. Celestia retains much of Peste Noir and although it never intended to turn its sound too raw or aggressive, succeeds in creating deep atmospheres,”Death of the Lizard Queen” is an example of this concept and my viewpoint is the highest moment of the whole album, a mixture of progression with acoustic passages and a symphonic touch, that attempts to be atmospheric and depressing at the same time, and without losing strength and easily stays in the mind the listener to guide us to the theme “Morbid Romance,” where once again we have a song that keeps the same balanced structure of desperation played with a touch of speed and this is precisely where the band shines, where the band stands out because that his songs subtly mixed with a rather dense calm, will not be easily forgotten. Celestia guaranteed 45 minutes of atmospheric Black Metal with a dense gothic touch that it never loses its essence and that as more prominent and visible detail, the emotions swaying with technical and a bit of speed.
