CELESTE is a French band that heralds from the city of Lyon, and has garnered a reputation for their intense and heavy fusion of sludge, black metal, and post-hardcore. The band was formed in 2005, and they introduced themselves to the underground metal scene with their debut album, "Pessimiste(s)," released in 2006. Their sound is characterized by relentless percussion, punishing guitar riffs, and visceral screams, all woven together into a dense and dark atmosphere. CELESTE's music carries a profundity and emotional weight, often touching on themes of despair, existentialism, and human frailty.

Over the years, CELESTE has consistently expanded their discography, each release building upon the last to further refine their sound and explore new sonic territories. Titles like "Nihiliste(s)," "Misanthrope(s)," and "Morte(s) née(s)" hint at the band's bleak and introspective lyrical content, even as the music itself draws listeners into a cathartic experience. With later releases such as "Infidèle(s)", "Assassine(s)," and "Epilogue(s)," the band has continued to push the boundaries of their genre. CELESTE's live performances, which are often shrouded in red lights and smoke, mirror the oppressive and immersive nature of their music, cementing them as a compelling force on the stage. Their session on "Celeste on Audiotree Live" offers a glimpse into the band's raw live energy, encapsulating the essence of their identity as a band that thrives on the darker side of the human experience.
