January 25, 2009, 15 years ago
Finnish power metal warriors CELESTY have finished recording their forthcoming album Vendetta, the fourth of their career. Orchestrated by Kalevi Olli, better known for his work with Finnish National Opera and played by Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra, Celesty’s fourth outing is said to be “a symphonic exercise in grandeur, with the melodic hooklines of SONATA ARCTICA, Epic proportions of RHAPSODY OF FIRE and warrior spirit MANOWAR” and “a fantastic, grandiose Tour de Force through the enchanted kingdoms of Epic Symphonic Power Meta.”
The tracklisting is as follows: 'Prelude For Vendetta', 'Euphoric Dream', 'Greed & Vanity', 'Like Warriors', 'Autumn Leaves', 'Feared By Dawn', 'Lord (Of This Kingdom)', 'New Sin', 'Dark Emotions', 'Fading Away', 'Legacy of Hate Pt. 3', 'Gates of Tomorrow' (Japanese edition bonus track).
The album also features guest performances by Sonata Arctica's Elias Viljanen, VANDEN PLAS' Stephan Lill and ESCAPE's Suvi-Tuuli Dietrich. A snippet from the song “Lord (Of This Kingdom)” can be heard here.
