Drunken Sailor Records has just unveiled a full stream of a new 3-track demo from Canadian noisy, reverbed punk act CELL, recently featured on Vice magazine. The record is a whirlwind of rowdy chaos that slams into your head like a jackhammer, making it a blistering, feral and intense debut. Oh, I just have this feeling that everyone should keep an eye on these guys from now on. Listen below and see why.
The label commented:
The first time I heard this demo it totally floored me, easily the best demo i have heard in ages.
Hailing from Montreal and featuring members of Remwar, Vile Intent, Sek and Terse.
Crushing Hardcore/ Punk, reverb drenched aestheticized vocals, song structures that whilst having a firm root in Hardcore also give a nod to some of the more harder metal bands.
Led by bruising riffs and the tough vocals of Sash Pozzie, Cell are a newish Montreal band who bleed the edges of hardcore and metal to create their own wall of suffocating sound. There was a lot of reverb and scowling dread found on their three-song demo that was released earlier this year and now, that same demo is getting released on vinyl through Drunken Sailor.
Almost suffocating under the total wall of sound, one of the best debut records you will hear this year.
