Hello everyone, well, having discovered this nice site a few days ago, I finally decided to write a review for a band that drives me crazy, Celesty, and specifically their 2004 album "Legacy Of Hate".
The band in question plays power, a genre that I see is much despised on DeBaser, and I don't understand why, which is precisely why I decided to write in favor of power.
For those who don't know (I'm referring to the usual foolish people who always ask stupid questions and comments), power is a kind of ultra-boosted heavy metal, with guitars, keyboards, and drums chasing each other at license-revoking speeds, and in the end, there’s never a winner, all three always reach the finish line simultaneously, along with the singer, of course; it's music that comes from the heart beating at lightning speed, and having known that heartbeats are usually faster in young people, I can affirm that it's music made for the young!
Undoubtedly, but even the less young might like it, and it would surely do them good to listen to a bit of power instead of those so uncool and silly indie records.
Celesty play 100% power so you will find all the technical ingredients already described, the themes are always very inspired by the Nordic mythology that I love so much, the cover as in every power record is unbelievably cool, the artwork already makes you enter their world and if you look at it while listening to the music it seems like being in a Nordic fairy tale among warriors with swords and beautiful princesses to save from ever-angry dragons.
Melody also plays a significant role in a power album, and with this record, Celesty manages to be followed emotionally, not just technically. I strongly recommend this album, which presents Celesty already mature and truly good at becoming part of the sacred monsters of the
genre. If you love power, make it yours; if not, give it a chance.
All that glitters is not gold...
STAY POWER! STAY UP!

It might not be anything innovative, but it certainly isn’t the usual pile of ballads thrown together that you can barely listen to in one go.
It’s quite unfortunate, however, that these Finns don’t have the deserved success and remain somewhat unnoticed, even though they could easily compete with more famous artists.

Mortal Mind Creation confirms the band’s excellent compositional skills, thanks to simple songwriting that manages not to be clichéd.
There is a noticeable heaviness in the sound, particularly in the guitar sound, with the keyboard taking a back seat.
