Biography
Celelalte Cuvinte (
The Other Words) is a Romanian rock band from Oradea, founded in December 1981 and still active to this day. Although it is generally accepted that
Celelalte Cuvinte is a heavy metal band, the members experienced some other genres like doom metal in the
Armaghedon album - an almost unique experience in Romanian rock music, some influences being present also in the
Destin album of the band Cargo - or, recently, like alternative rock - in the
NOS album.
Celelalte Cuvinte is the first Romanian rock band that actually got the attention of the audiences that wanted elaborated music, after Phoenix left the country. However, the
Armaghedon album is definitely an underground one, so the band is both important for mainstream and underground Romanian music.
