CELESTY Part Ways With Guitarist

Finnish metallers CELESTY have announced that they are parting ways with guitarist Tapani Kangas.

Says the band, "There's no friction or drama behind the scenes, the decision was deliberate and mutual. Celesty is not looking for a replacement and continues as a five-piece. During the forthcoming live shows the rhythm guitar will be handled by Tuomas Laasanen. Celesty would like to thank Tapani for the past twelve years and wishes him successful career!"

Tapani states, "12 awesome years, 4 albums, people, fans, shows and great memories. Unfortunately after a long concideration I have decided to separate ways with Celesty. I cant give the full concentration that the band deserves because of my personal schedules with work/music. Celesty and guys will always be in my heart, and these memories, years and friendship for life will never be taken away from me!

Thank you and STAY METAL!"
