________________________________________________________
Seven years after well-acclaimed predecessor Celestial Wolves return with their fourth studio album - pronounced 'five is four' - due 19th September 2025.

Written over the span of several years including a shift in personnel the band decided to work with producer Chiaran Verheyden for the arrangements and recording process. The recordings itself took place at dunk!records in March 2025 with the professional assistance of sound engineer Jannes Van Rossom who also delivered the mix and it was Laurens Grossen at Motormusic who mastered the album in June 2025.

Compared to the previous album is a collection of songs rather than to be a concept album and houses 9 tracks with a total length of approx. 50 minutes of music, making this a double LP vinyl release through their record labels.

For this record the band included some additional instruments such as a brass section (trumpet, trombone and bugle), percussion items (shakers, xylophone, tanggu drums), piano and string section (cello and double bass).

Emerged in 2011 from several music projects Celestial Wolves released its debut album “Wood for Wood” on dunk!records in 2013 following a fall UK tour. At the beginning of 2014 founding member Johannes De Groeve left the band to be replaced by Thierry De Zutter later that year.
Sophomore studio album "Illusive Landscape of Expression" came out two years after their debut on November 5th 2015 through dunk!records with a EU tour to promote the album. In late 2016 the band was joined by Jelle Lefebvre on drums and in this newly formed lineup they released a song "Aeolist, Descend!" as a split EP together with OMSQ in fall 2017.
Third studio album "Call of the Void", recorded at dunk!studios with Jannes Van Rossom, was released in October 2018 both on dunk!records (EU) and A Thousand Arms Music (US) with another EU tour and festivals in 2019.
The covid-era pushed back the band a little with a semi hiatus up until 2025 where the band will release a new album having a new bass player in the lineup! Keep an eye on the social media platforms of the band for album and show related announcements!

Present band lineup: Joris De Bolle (guitar), Thierry De Zutter (guitar), Jelle Lefebvre (drums), Tore Snauwaert (bass), Dieter Verbeken (guitar).
Former members: Johannes De Groeve (guitar), Mathieu Pollyn (drums), Wouter De Bolle (bas)
Originally hailing from Herzele the band currently finds its home and rehearsal space in Sint-Lievens-Houtem.
