Cell is a cosmic Black Metal band from Winnipeg, Canada. After a sci-fi horror and apocalyptic intro the album starts off with a classic Black Metal thunder. Well placed blast beats follows mid tempo double bass drumming and the vocals are mostly grim sounding Black Metal screams. The guitars give the songs a very raw feeling while the few leads on this record remind me of some progressive Death Metal bands which I‘ve heard years ago.
I don’t find the album particularly catchy and I don’t think that’s the goal here. Rather, this is one of those albums where you’re better sitting back, grab a glass of wine or a cup of tea, let the music do its job and just enjoy the moment.
