Eclipse Records is thrilled to announce the signing of an exclusive worldwide deal with CAELESTIA from Athens (GREECE). After joining forces with legendary producer Zack Ohren (Machine Head, Six Feet Under, Immolation), the band are poised to deliver their new full-length album entitled “Revelations In Black” – a sophisticated blend of melodic black metal and modern death metal, featuring the legendary Marc Reign (formerly of Destruction and Morgoth) on drums. The album is scheduled to be released via Eclipse Records on July 24, 2026.
“I am incredibly excited about this partnership with Eclipse Records!” says vocalist Pantelis “Lordwinter” Daskalelos, “This feels like a massive step forward for the band. It is a huge reward for the effort that we put into our new album, to be included in the roster of a well-established label like Eclipse Records”Guitarist Vassilis Thomas adds “Having experienced firsthand all the stages of the band’s history so far, I see our collaboration with Eclipse Records as a very important milestone. Eclipse Records, unlike labels that we have worked with in the past, is willing and able to offer a very wide array of promotional and distribution services, which will really take our band a step further. That’s why I feel very proud about this signing.”
Originating from Athens, Greece, Caelestia has undergone a profound sonic transformation that bridges the gap between the melodic Gothenburg sound and the mechanical precision of American death metal. For this ambitious project, the group traveled to Castle Ultimate Studios to work under the direction of acclaimed American producer Zack Ohren, whose resume includes heavy hitters like Machine Head, Six Feet Under, and Immolation. The resulting record is a masterclass in modern extreme metal that balances technical accuracy with atmospheric depth. The album explores dark psychology and history within the lyrical themes. The title track, “Revelations In Black,” adapts Carl Jacobi’s vampire fiction, while “Dead Eternal” pays tribute to Mayhem’s Per Yngve Ohlin (Dead), focusing on the artist revealed in his personal correspondence letters. Conversely, “Wolves” examines the historical Werwolf organization at the end of WWII, highlighting the tragic brainwashing of youth by propaganda. These tracks showcase the band’s new intellectual depth and guitar-driven sound. With artwork provided by Elena Vasilaki, the visual aesthetic of the album complements the dark mythological and metaphysical allegories found within the music. Caelestia has spent years touring across Europe and the UK, and that grit is evident in every riff of this ten-song collection. Revelations In Black was produced, mixed and mastered by Zack Ohren (Machine Head, Six Feet Under, Immolation), and it is scheduled for release on July 24, 2026.
