Founded in 1998 as Celestial by Jere Luokkamäki and Ari Katajamäki, the band underwent several line-up changes before issueing their first of two demos in 2001. Celesty is yet another Finnish power metal band in the vein of countrymates Sonata Arctica and Stratovarius. If you're familiar with these two stalwarts of European symphonic metal, then you know what Celesty has to offer - keyboard driven, soaring vocals, and a blistering pace. Although the genre is flooded these days, led by the excellent keyboard work of Juha Mäenpää this band displays what it takes to rise above the pack on their debut Reign of Elements. While recording Legacy Of Hate, singer Kimmo Perämäki left the band because of "musical differences" but was duely replaced by 19-year old Antti Railio.
