Despite having experienced some member changes already, young visual kei band CELLT has maintained a consistent, darkly beautiful sound, due in large part to vocalist Kiyoto who has been with the band since its formation. Their sound is varied, but mostly combative and heavy, though some classify them as "oshare kei" due to their visual style, which incorporates splashes of bright colors as well as playful accessories such as ribbons, bows, lace, hats, eye patches, hair ornaments, sequins and jewelry. Those looking for the brighter, optimistic sounds associated with oshare kei may be a little surprised at this band's angsty vocals and often metal-influenced compositions.
BIOGRAPHY
CELLT formed on August 7, 2004 with two former Kress Devia members: guitarist Kasumi and bassist Takuma (formerly known as Kazuma), who would later change his name to Mito. That year they played many shows at various live houses in Tokyo, and early in 2005 they sponsored the first volume of The religion race to invade, a series that they've continued to sponsor over the years. The following month, an omnibus, HYSTERIC MEDIA ZONE V.A, went on sale carrying two of CELLT's songs. However, it wasn't until November that they released their first single, HONEY?, limited to 666 copies, and embarked on a tour, Tomodachi no○。-TOUR2005.December saw the band perform their first one-man show and despite a severe schedule of nonstop performances, CELLT's exposure was fairly minimal since the only CD they'd released was limited in number. It wasn't until July that their first maxi-single, Sumetai hana, went on sale. Their second, Hakanai inori, namida ni sabite, followed in August, finally signaling the beginning of greater exposure for the band. CELLT attended events sponsored by Dio, KuRt, and heidi., amongst others, and frequently contributed to omnibuses, reinforcing their image as a band that, even if not yet hugely popular, was still a powerful presence in the community, a team player. This image was further cemented with the sold-out CELLT-sponsored The religion race to invade VOL. 7, which saw appearances from NoGoD, Guy's Family, Irokui., UnsraW and SUG. Their live activities continued to flourish in 2007, including another one-man in April, a show for Takadanobaba AREA's 10th anniversary, and a tour called Heaven no omatsuri ☆ten made tobou!!. Finally, in August, the band's first full album went on sale. The two disc album was called "-cell-"~in the future~ and "-cell-"~in the past~, "cell" being an abbreviation of their band name. In October they sponsored their first Tokyo-Nagoya-Osaka tour called C no gekijou sono ni, curtailing their name further. In November the group's charismatic and popular bassist Mito (a.k.a. co-founder Takuma) left, which was a huge blow to their fan base. But the band survived and Mito was replaced by Sasa later that month.In August of 2008 they began another one-man tour, Kaette kita ultra C, and released their highly anticipated new single, Lydia. Though they haven't been as prolific as some new bands, CELLT has been very productive on the live front, and each release they put out can attest to their exceptional talent. As they continue to evolve and develop, visual kei lovers should anticipate great things from this band.
