CELESTIA OFFICIAL STATEMENT

Due to various sort of indirect persecutions against CELESTIA and especially against NOKTU.
The organizers team and the venue decided to not let CELESTIA be a part of the festival anymore.
It seems that our participation was seen as a potential danger and a political issue.
We still try to understand how CELESTIA could expose any political views on stage since it is clear
that CELESTIA has really nothing to do with politics of any sort.

We wish to apologize to all people who wanted to see Celestia on stage.
Sadly, it seems that we will not be able to play in Germany ever and we really regret that.
Mainly due to one radical political organization who is trying to destroy the metal culture in Germany.
CELESTIA is not the first victim of their gulag censorship and certainly not the last one.
