C E L A V I RELEASE AR DY LINIAU AHEAD OF NEW EP
Welsh bilingual nu-metal duo C E L A V I release their fierce new single and video, AR DY LINIAU (ON YOUR KNEES), ahead of their forthcoming EP, PRAELIA.
AR DY LINIAU (ON YOUR KNEES) combines pummelling riffs, engulfing hooks and intense emotion, blending the duo's early-2000s nu-metal influences with a sinister industrial approach.

Formed by married duo Gwion Griffiths and Sarah Wynn Griffiths, C E L A V I have earned support from Metal Hammer, BBC Radio 1, Kerrang! Radio and BBC 6 Music, alongside a Match of the Day sync.
BBC Radio 1 declared: “CELAVI, remember that name.” The single follows a landmark appearance at Download Festival, where C E L A V I became the first band ever to perform in Welsh at the festival. Their journey to Download is documented in Sgrechian (Screaming), produced for Welsh-language broadcaster S4C's digital platform Hansh. The documentary is available with English subtitles.
AR DY LINIAU (ON YOUR KNEES) is a song about confrontation, resilience and refusing to be pushed aside. Sarah Wynn Griffiths says: “AR DY LINIAU (ON YOUR KNEES) is cathartic; it’s about confronting the people and situations that push boundaries and fail to show you respect.”
Gwion Griffiths adds: “It captures our early-2000s nu-metal influences with a darker, industrial edge. It’s about finding the strength to stand your ground.”
With PRAELIA due for release soon, C E L A V I will follow their Download appearance with a support slot alongside As December Falls at Chepstow Castle this Saturday, and a performance at Pro Weekend Fest 2026 in Spain this autumn.
C E L A V I continue to bring Welsh-language vocals to a distinctive blend of nu-metal, industrial heaviness and raw emotion, building momentum both in the UK and internationally.
