Callisto’s debut “True Nature Unfolds” (2004) received an enthusiastic response and earned the band a worldwide license deal with the British Earache Records.
The band’s sophomore album “Noir” was released in 2006 exceeding all the high expectations set by the debut. Still drawing from modern sludge, “Noir” also introduced subtle jazz leanings, heavy use of mellotron and experimentation with unconventional rock instruments such as the saxophone and the flute.
Never interested in repeating themselves, in 2009 Callisto took a bold step further from their earlier, more instrumental material and composed a vocal record presenting a new member Jani Ala-Hukkala taking on vocal duties. The songs on ”Providence” are built upon layers of melodies, using a broader palette they’ve coloured their sound with twangy guitars, mellotrons, prog rock overtones and a singing style that can be traced back to 90’s-era vocalists like Chris Cornell and the late Layne Stayley. Both those familiar and new to the band will find a lot to digest in the majestic compositions and cryptic lyrics which often revolve around Christian themes, having a lot in common with their influences Trouble and Woven hand.
