Callisto is a post-metal band from Turku, Finland. The band was formed in 2001 in Kokkola. Whilst their early works are clearly hardcore/metalcore, their first album True Nature Unfolds has a strong sludge metal and doom influence and their second album Noir is more influenced by progressive and more dynamic sound. Apart from featuring female vocals on some songs, they have used unexpected instruments, for example saxophone, cello, flute and English horn. Callisto's short and cryptic lyrics contain Christian themes and references.
