Seinäjoki, Finland (1998 – present)

1998-1999

Celesty was formed 1998 in town called Seinäjoki, Finland. First line-up was totally different than today, only bassist Ari Katajamäki (b. 1979) and drummer Jere Luokkamäki (b. 1979) are left from those days. In the year 1999 Tapani Kangas (b. 1980) joined the band as a guitar player and Celesty made their first demo in summer 1999, which was recorded only for themselves and wasn’t released or sent anywhere. In a short time after that Ari, Jere and Tapani noticed the potential of the band, but knew that something had to be done, so they decided to sign off some members and they started to replaced them with new ones.

2000-2002

Jere LuokkamäkiIn the year 2000 Tapani and Ari went to army and Celesty were still looking for functional and first- rate line-up. At spring 2000 Tapani found young and talented guitarist J-P Alanen and he decided to join Celesty. J-P already knew vocalist Kimmo Perämäki, and band asked him to join Celesty also. Kimmo joined and finally at autumn 2000 they booked studio for their first real demo. “Warrior of ice” demo was released at spring 2001 and soon after the release Juha Mäenpää (b. 1981) joined Celesty to play keyboards. After the first demo release, some very good reviews and a few gigs in Finland, Celesty began to sound familiar in people’s ears. At march 2002 Celesty went to record their second demo to the Fantom Studios. “Times before the ice” demo got even better reviews everywhere, and record companies also started to contact Celesty.
