“C E L Λ V I - Remember that name” BBC Radio 1
C E L Λ V I are a fierce, genre-defying duo from Bangor, North Wales - Gwion and Sarah - armed with an explosive take on nu-metal that blends the raw power of metal, goth, emo, industrial, electro, and rock into an anthemic, boundary-pushing sound. They’re rewriting the rules and bringing a fierce new energy to the scene, with their unapologetic and empowering anthems.
Wales’ first bilingual nu-metal band are already making waves with support from Metal Hammer, BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, BBC Introducing in Wales, BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru and BBC Radio Cymru 2 (National Welsh language Radio Stations). They’ve also been featured on Amazon Music’s ‘Breakthrough Rock’ and ‘Best New Bands’ Editorial Playlists.
C E L Λ V I made history by reaching Number 1 on Rhys Mwyn’s ‘Siart Amgen 2024’ (Alternative Chart 2024) on BBC Radio Cymru, the prestigious national Welsh language radio station. Their explosive Welsh-language nu-metal anthem, ‘COFIA’R ENW’ (REMEMBER THE NAME), is the first-ever track by a Welsh-language nu-metal band to claim the top spot.
They've also been selected as a PPL Momentum Wales Artist and been awarded with a PPL Momentum/Sbardun Accelerator Fund grant by PRS Foundation, PPL and Arts Council of Wales to work with Grammy-nominated producer Romesh Dodangoda (Bring Me The Horizon, Nova Twins, Holding Absence) on their nu-EP.
Dubbed “The loudest thing to come from North Wales”, C E L Λ V I are working with Loki Films (known for his work with Sleep Token, LORNA SHORE and Limp Bizkit) to bring their sonic mayhem bangers to life in music videos that deliver a full-throttle slap to the face!
C E L Λ V I have had an exciting 2026 so far, having already been named one of the winners of the Sound of Miwsig 2026 Wales - selected through an industry-wide and public poll.
The duo are continuing to build momentum across Wales and England, having headlined Fuel Rock Club on St David’s Day and supported alternative metal artist and producer n0trixx. They have also performed at FOCUS Wales, an international showcase festival that spotlights emerging talent and industry-ready artists. Looking ahead, they will open for Nottingham’s acclaimed As December Falls at Chepstow Castle in August 2026 - a milestone show marking the next chapter of their rise.
