Atlanta, GA, based black metal quartet Celestial Death present an explosive heavy and authentic debut in their first offering, "Anti-Preacher". Accompanying a poignant commentary on pervasive corruption, is an onslaught of high intensity riffs, thrashing percussion and obliterating growls. "Anti-Preacher" is out now via Terminus Hate City Records.
Celestial Death frontman Jay Crash comments on "Anti-Preacher": "Our debut single, 'Anti-Preacher', is a statement of who we are as a band: we are in open rebellion against the corrupt individuals who sit at a pulpit preaching peace but actively supporting wars and genocides in the name of religion. We are a band that states exactly what we are about, and who we are against. These cowards hide behind religious manipulation, brainwashing their followers to commit violence against non-believers; to conquer land in the name of God or other deities; to take money from the poor all in the name of a 'greater good'; to elect leaders who claim to uphold Christian (or other religious) values, resulting in oppressive laws over bodily autonomy, and what should be natural human rights..."
Alongside the DIY ethos, Celestial Death embrace, and are inspired by, the philosophical view that we are all stardust and to that state we shall return; that life and death is the natural order and is key for the survival of the universe. As the band gear up to release more music in 2025, "Anti-Preacher" provides a tantalizing first glimpse at the band's fierce take on modern black metal.
