Visions For The Celestial (Reissue)

Named after a beautiful flower that some people just absolutely love to have in their gardens, Hamilton trio DATURA were a sound to be reckoned with in their day. Formed out of a love of all things Sabbath, have announced the reissue of their 1999 final album Visions for the Celestial. - Flying Out

Formed in August 1992 in Hamilton, New Zealand, DATURA started as a four-piece Sabbath-worshipping outfit. After a few member changes, the group settled on the lineup of Craig Williamson on bass and vocals, Brent Middlemiss on guitar, and Jon Burnside on drums. Three now long-lost cassette demos ensued they hit the studio to record and then release their February ’98 debut album “All Is One”. Quickly moving forward with intermittent touring and continuing to write new material, the band gathered in the studio again in early 1999, to tape what was to be the final album “Visions for the Celestial”.
