CELESTE have signed to Nuclear Blast Records!

The band, who are considered to be one of the most important bands in French avant-garde black metal, have played more than 500 shows globally, including appearances at prestigious extreme music festivals such as Hellfest, Copenhell, Brutal Assault and many more. With five studio albums and one EP under their belt, the band are now ready to take the next leap of faith in their career by signing to world renowned metal label Nuclear Blast. CELESTE have also announced that they are working on their sixth studio album with the label.

The band states, “We’re thrilled to announce that we’re now part of Nuclear Blast family. We want to thank them for the way they warmly welcomed us. We’re stoked to work with such a friendly and professional team. Times have been rough recently, but it strengthened us to work on our 6th album. We’re just coming back from the mixing sessions. Prepare yourself for some new material soon.”

Jerome Riera, European Head Of Label for Nuclear Blast, adds, “There’s no genre that can truly define CELESTE, the music they create is in its own universe. I’ve always loved the band’s ability to mix very strong, classy imagery with the darkest, blackest songs. It’s a powerful and unique band that we’re proud to welcome to the Nuclear Blast family.”

To celebrate the announcement, the band have released a new music video for their track Comme Des Amants En Reflet, which is taken from their 2017 album, Infidèle(s).
