Cantilena (4)

Cantilena is a four piece Estonian band with thrash metal as its core. Their journey began in April of 2009, when members of Estonia’s two old-school metal-bands decided to start playing the music closest to their hearts. Now, the band has given over 70 live performances, and they released six of their best pieces as the “Metallinn” Digi EP in 2010. Cantilena’s music brings their audience honesty, aggression and respect – their divisive live show never leaves a single soul indifferent. In this short time Cantilena has already been on stage at various festivals such us Hard Rock Laager, kRock u Maybutne (Ukraine), Devilstone (Lithuania) and Tallinn Music Week. In 2012 Cantilena was also the warm-up artist for Sepultura and in 2013 for Overkill. On the 14th of April 2012 Cantilena’s first official album was released “Violent Peace”. In 2015 the line up of the band changed as Madis Velström, the lead vocalist, left the band. Shortly they got their act back on track with a new vocalist Asim Searah. At the end of 2015 the band released the official music video for the singel “No. 1”. Cantilena has shared stage with Sepultura, Overkill, Hatesphere, Angelus Apatrida, Shining, Enslaved, Sybreed, Phil Anselmo &The Illegals, Behemoth, Toxic Holocaust, Exhumed, Stam1na, Rytmihäiriö and many others.
