1) Callisto is a Finnish experimental metal band (Turku, Finland 2001-present). Trying to fit the post-metal outfit Callisto into one single category hardly does the band justice. Founded in 2001, the sextet play a timeless, downbeat yet melancholic style of music that is rich in nuances, draws from numerous sources and doesn't really have any obvious fellow creatures or points of comparisons.
Callisto's debut True Nature Unfolds was recorded in 2003 by the the late Mieszko Talarczyk of Nasum fame and was introduced to Earache Records a year later through Johannes Persson from Cult of Luna, earning them worldwide distribution. The band's sophomore album "Noir", released in 2006, still drawing from modern sludge also introduced subtle jazz leanings, heavy use of mellotron and experimentation with unconventional rock instruments such as the saxophone and the flute.
2009 marked another experimental shift in style, taking some distance from the more instrumental material, Callisto composed a vocal record presenting a new member Jani Ala-Hukkala handling the vocals. The songs on ”Providence” are built upon layers of melodies, using a broader palette they’ve coloured their sound with twangy guitars, mellotrons, prog rock overtones and a singing style that can be traced back to 90’s-era vocalists like Layne Stayley. Both those familiar and new to the band will find a lot to digest in the majestic compositions and cryptic lyrics which often revolve around theological subjects.
On "Providence" Callisto has once again joined forces with old-time producer, engineer Jonas Olsson who also worked on the Precambrian record by The Ocean. The artwork is contributed by Martin Kvamme of Unit Delta Plus (Fantomas, Satyricon, Turbonegro).
2) Callisto is the name of an ambient electronic music group consisting of David Wright and Dave Massey.
3) Callisto is deep house producer Dana Kelley aka DKMA, active from 1997-2001 on Guidance Recordings.
Worlds Collide
Callisto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unseen presence, within these walls.
The cynic will not acquire but the obedient marches on,
Knowing resistance has begun.
The inevitable is at hand. Worlds collide.
Embrace the aftermath whatever is may bring.
The lyrics to Callisto's song Worlds Collide speak to the fear that humanity has towards the unknown. The first line "Mankind fears what eyes fail to conceive" shows how we tend to be scared of things that we cannot see or understand. The lyrics continue to describe the feeling of an unseen presence within walls. This could be interpreted as a fear of something hiding within society that we cannot see or control.
The lyrics then shift to a more inspiring tone, talking about the power of resistance and how the obedient will not be able to acquire what they want without it. The line "The inevitable is at hand. Worlds collide" further intensifies the message, showing that a major change or conflict is imminent. The final line "Embrace the aftermath whatever it may bring" suggests that no matter what happens, one should face the consequences and take advantage of the learning opportunity.
