about
CELAVI ARE GWION AND SARAH, A METAL | NU-METAL BAND FROM BANGOR IN NORTH WALES. THEIR MUSIC IS ALSO INFLUENCED BY INDUSTRIAL | ELECTRO AND ROCK - BRINGING A NEW SOUND TO METAL. THE HEAVY GUITAR DRIVEN SOUND OF THEIR MUSIC IS DRAMATICALLY CONTRASTED BY SARAH’S SOFT AND DELICATE VOICE WHICH COMPLIMENTS THEIR MUSIC AND MAKES THEM STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD.
CELAVI BEING NO FOLLOWERS OF TRADITION, EXPECT NO CHRISTMAS SONG IN DECEMBER BUT INSTEAD, THEIR ANTHEM ‘LULLABY’ - WHICH ENCAPSULATES BEING CAUGHT BETWEEN DREAMS AND REALITY. ‘LULLABY’, SUPPORTED BY HORIZONS|GORWELION 2022 (BBC CYMRU WALES + ARTS COUNCIL WALES) WAS PRODUCED BY GRAMMY NOMINATED ROCK AND METAL PRODUCER ROMESH DODANGODA (MOTÖRHEAD, BRING ME THE HORIZON, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, NOVA TWINS). THIS IS THE FIRST COLLABORATION BETWEEN THEM...WATCH THIS SPACE!
FLYING THE FLAG FOR WELSH METAL, CELAVI HAVE RECENTLY BEEN ADDED TO AMAZON MUSIC’S ‘BEST NEW BANDS’ EDITORIAL PLAYLISTS WHILE ALSO RECEIVING RECENT SUPPORT BY BBC INTRODUCING ON BBC 6 MUSIC, BBC INTRODUCING IN WALES AND ROCK AND METAL INTERNATIONAL RADIO STATIONS!
“IT’S PUMMELLING AND BRILLIANT AND USES THAT WHOLE KIND OF VELVET HAMMER APPROACH OF SOMETHING INCREDIBLY HARD AND HEAVY AND PUMMULY WITH SOMETHING KIND OF SWEET AND LIGHT AT THE SAME TIME” ADAM WALTON, BBC INTRODUCING IN WALES (CELAVI - NIGHTMARE)
“GOOD TO HEAR NEW MUSIC FROM CELAVI ‘NIGHTMARE’. POSSIBLY SHOULD HAVE PLAYED THAT WITH A PUBLIC HEALTH WARNING AT THE BEGINNING BUT I ALWAYS LOVE WHAT THEY DO, MELODIC BUT HEAVY, IT’S COOL.” BETHAN ELFYN, BBC RADIO WALES (CELAVI - NIGHTMARE)
AFTER A BUSY YEAR OF RELEASING MUSIC AND TOURING WALES AND ENGLAND, CELAVI AREN’T PLANNING ON A CHRISTMAS BREAK - MORE SURPRISES ARE ON THE WAY!
ARE YOU READY FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT?
lyrics
VERSE
SOMETIMES I HAVE TO PUT MYSELF WHERE I DON’T WANNA BE
SOMETIMES IT’S THE HARDEST THING IN ORDER TO BE FREE
WHEN YOU’VE GOT NOWHERE ELSE TO GO
TRAPPED IN YOUR MIND MAZE
IT’S SO EASY TO GET LOST
IT’S GETTING HARD TO STAY AWAKE
CHORUS
TAKE ME AWAY, FAR FROM HERE
WHERE NOTHING’S QUITE AS IT SEEMS
SING TO ME SO I CAN SLEEP
TAKE ME TO WHERE YOUR LIES ARE TRUE
VERSE
SOMETIMES IT’S EASIER TO DREAM THAN LIVE REALITY
THE FEELING OF THE PEACE TO BE SO CAREFREE
WHEN YOU’VE GOT NOWHERE ELSE TO GO
YOU’RE SEARCHING FOR YOUR SOUL
IT’S SO EASY TO GET LOST
STATE OF MIND HELL HOLE
CHORUS
TAKE ME AWAY, FAR FROM HERE
WHERE NOTHING’S QUITE AS IT SEEMS
SING TO ME SO I CAN SLEEP
TAKE ME TO WHERE YOUR LIES ARE TRUE
