NEWS: Cell Press seek Uranium…
A Molotov cocktail of Hardcore, Sludge, Punk, and Metal will be on offer on 8th March when Canadians Cell Press drop album “Cages“. The band take their name from the 2001 Russian prison documentary “The Mark Of Cain”, the brutal humanity of that film is reflected in their music: on the surface, it’s raw and punishing, but there are complexities and nuances revealed once the surface noise has been embraced. Leading up to the release, they are now dropping a video for the single “Original Uranium Baby”, a dystopian tale set in the town of Elliot Lake, Ontario in the year 2088…
Vocalist and guitarist Sean Arsenian comments on: “The first half of the tune was resurrected from a defunct dirty punk/noise-rock project that I was in prior to Cell Press. It’s catchy and has some swagger, but we took those riffs and threw them into the “human misery machine” and they came out the other side the way they sound as the 2nd half of the tune… a sludgier, coiling sewer-pipe runoff extrusion of the initial ideas… McGee’s drumming mutates into a really cool syncopated jazz swing meets primal caveman rage thing, and PQ is serving David Yow by way of Jacob Bannon on top of it all. This song has hooks, pummel, AND a bit of a sophisticated groove to it.”
