Sumar

Celelalte Cuvinte (în engleza: The Other Words) este o trupa rock romaneasca formata în decembrie 1981 de Calin Pop (voce principala, chitara principala si blockflöte/recorder), Marcel Breazu (chitara bas, cori) si Leontin Iovan (tobe) , pe cand erau înca studenti la Universitatea Politehnica din Timisoara din Timisoara, Banat, sud-vestul Romaniei.

Numele initial al trupei a fost „Sonic” pe vremea cand înca cantau ca studenti si erau unul dintre cele mai preferate acte muzicale ale lui Florian Pittis, care a avut si un rol important si proactiv în a le sustine unui public mai larg. Primul concert al trupei a avut loc pe 13 decembrie 1981 la Casa Studentilor din Timisoara. În 2021, trupa a sarbatorit 40 de ani de activitate muzicala cu un concert online programat pe platforma digitala vStage pe 18 decembrie.

Istoria

Formed in Timisoara, while the members of the band were students there. Having won a couple of song-contests and being invited to various festivals, the band was signed to the state-owned record Electrecord label and managed to release 4 songs on the B-side of one of the company's "Formatii rock" compilations in 1984.

After finishing their studies in 1987, the group moved back to their native Oradea, and managed to release their first LP "Celelalte Cuvinte I".

Following the release of "Celelalte Cuvinte II", they headed to a heavier direction, leaving behind their old school progressive rock sound and opting instead for a more aggressive style, influenced by heavy metal and thrash metal, while still maintaining a progressive edge. This heavy sound was far more pronounced on the studio album "Armaghedon" which was released in 1994. In addition, the band had also expressed alternative and even doom metal sounds throughout the mid to late 1990s.

By the early 2000s, the group had returned to their progressive rock sound, but in a more modern alternative rock-inspired direction, still maintaining Calin's distinct high-pitch vocal style. In addition, after touring the country for decades, the group had released its first live record, a double CD entitled "Electric Live" in 2019. Most recently, a new studio album entitled "Clepsidra fara nisip", has been announced to be released for the autumn of 2022. In this regard, two new tracks, more specifically the eponymous "Clepsidra fara nisip" (i.e. 'The hourglass without sand') and "Aproape cerul" (short version) have already been released on Youtube on 26 November 2021.
