CELLADOR / Press

“This is a candidate for sure of Metal Album of the Year! Pick up a copy or three of this outstanding effort.If these guys don’t get a ton of press and recognition for this album, then fuck everyone. This shit is a Power Metal masterpiece! It’s a wonderful CD for ‘80s metalheads or guitar junkies on your shopping list.”

“Cellador has more or less delivered the perfect blend of melodic power metal, furious and blazing speed metal and neo-classical heavy metal, hail the new gods.”

"Cellador is a real surprise on so many levels but at its roots, this is a band that the American market NEEDS to hear because, as clear as the band wears its influences on its sleeve, the deluge of metalcore has left bands like Cellador as more of an anachronistic novelty on these shores."

“Personally I enjoyed very much this work that stayed for long time in my CD-player with the "repeat" button pushed over and over again. Don't miss this release. If you are fan of DRAGONFORCE this band will make you happier than you can imagine.”

“Strnad and Metal Blade were drawn to the band not only because of its epic songs, explosive guitar solos and dramatic vocals, but also by the black-metal beats and melodic death-metal elements Cellador weave into their music. Like Trivium — with whom Cellador are about to tour — and DragonForce, Petersen and his bandmates are part of a new generation of bands taking composition, melody and technical proficiency to new heights.”

“Sounding like Helloween on speed, Cellador has a great sense of writing strong and solid riffs and an even greater sense of melody.”

“CELLADOR is without a doubt the best new Power Metal band I’ve heard in a while. “Enter Deception” is an absolutely excellent record that any self-respecting fan of the genre needs to buy, no questions asked.”

“The songs? Every one is a highlight. Few albums maintain this level of consistency from track to track. Honestly, pick a song, any song. Largely unconcerned with tempo variation, the group attacks with a vengeance from beginning to end; every chorus is memorable and the intensity level never wanes. Whether it is the harmony vocals on the chorus of "Wakening" or the triumphant melodies of "No Chances Lost" and "A Sign Far Beyond", the quality level remains sky high.”
