CELESTY Unveil New Album Details 
Finland's
CELESTY have issued the following update:
"Celesty will release their fourth full-length album on March 11th, 2009 through the Finnish label Spinefarm Records.
The album bears the name Vendetta, and Samu Oittinen began the mixing of the album in the beginning of December. It is a daunting task: At times there are over 300 tracks playing. The epic soundscape is reinforced by an orchestra compiled of the musicians of the Tampere City Orchestra, and a professional choir. The orchestration and the choir parts were arranged and produced by the conductor Kalevi Olli, renowned for instance for his work with the Finnish National Opera.
"We started working with Kalevi last spring. After various setbacks we were indeed able to include on Vendetta everything that we had dreamed of for the entire ten-year career of Celesty: a real orchestra and a choir! A lot of blood, sweat and tears have been shed and the band has suffered through some of the most critical times of it's career, but now finally we can breath freely. It has been almost three months since we wrapped up the recordings, and now that the mixing has finally started we can with pride reveal that Celesty is making Finnish recording history: Over 300 tracks makes Vendetta one of the most massive albums recorded entirely in Finland", says Jere Luokkamäki, the drummer of the band.
Celesty's fourth full-length album will be released on March 11th, at which time Celesty will also begin their extensive Finnish tour.
Celesty wants to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for 2009, and to thank each and every member of the orchestra and the choir who have participated in making the new Celesty album - and history!
See you on the road!"
Stay tuned for further updates.
