NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – January 20, 2021
For fans of KEN mode, Unsane, Mastodon, Keelhaul
Cell Press New Music Video “Blacked Out In Verdun”
EP Out Now! Limited Edition Cassette from Ancient Temple Recordings and No Funeral Records
Lineup (L to R): Sean Arsenian (Guitar, Vox), Joey Cormier (Bass), Mark McGee (Drums), PQ (Vox)
A concoction of noise, sludge, grindcore, and extreme metal, along with anything and everything the band feels like creating, Montreal’s Cell Press (a convergence of talent from well-seasoned musicians (The Great Sabatini, Biipiigwan, I Hate Sally, Architect)) unleashed their self-titled debut EP this past November along with limited editions cassettes released by No Funeral Records and Ancient Temple Recordings.
“This EP sorta sums up what we’re about at this particular moment. Genre people might not be satisfied with our lack of adherence to any one sound for too long, but we didn’t make these songs for those sorts of people. This ep is designed as a broad introduction to the band, and new listeners will hopefully anticipate what else is coming down the pipe in the future. It upholds the high standards Cell Press sets for themselves and each song is quite different from the others.” says the band.
Today, Cell Press shares their latest music video “Blacked Out In Verdun”, a song that can be described as a sort of mish-mash of Helmet and Keelhaul.
Guitarist Sean Arsenian elaborates on how the video came to be:
“My co-worker Morgan Hunt walked into DFA Tattoos for Halloween wearing the llama mask you see in the video. I immediately recruited him to help me with the vague idea I had for it… and then we made him fall down a bunch of times. We paid for his wine, and that was the entire 20$ budget for the video. Morgan found the trash heap to lay down in at the end of the video and did so with zero prompting from us. He’d worked hard that day and deserved a rest.”
Watch the full video via its premiere on IDIOTEQ HERE.
Super loud and vigorous, Cell Press is recommended for fans of Jesus Lizard, Converge, and Botch.

About:
Cell Press are a Montreal-based band that formed in 2019. They play a sort of burly noise-rock that leans more on the hardcore and metal side of the swamp. They took their name from the 2001 Russian prison documentary “The Mark Of Cain”. The brutal humanity of that film is reflected in the music… on the surface, it’s raw and punishing but there are complexities
and nuances revealed once the surface noise has been embraced. Members have played in a myriad of punk, metal, and hardcore bands such as The Great Sabatini, Biipiigwan, I Hate Sally, The Chariot, Animal Ethics, Architect, Swarm Of Spheres, and Angles. Their self-titled EP is the first offering of tunes. Recorded pre-quarantine in Hamilton at Boxcar Sound Recording
(Sean Pearson), mixed in Oakland at Anti-sleep studios by Scott Evans with the pandemic in full swing… 2 local shows have been logged but any further plans to gig have been halted by Covid-19.
Discography:
2020 – Self Titled – EP
– 30 –
“From the grooves on “Piss Police” to the odd-timed melodic chords of “Blacked Out in Verdun,” everything moves in unexpected ways. All of this is perfectly set to the backdrop of PQ’s uniquely cackled screams… Cell Press is a great sludge metal EP that reminds the listener of the best aspects of this sub-genre. This EP makes the future appear bright for what is to come from this band. 8/10″ – Exclaim!
“You know that feeling, when you spin a new record for the first time and it just fucking destroys you? Well today I am happy to report, Cell Press outta Montreal have truly delivered the goods with their debut self titled EP. I mean fuck, is it any wonder this band rules, when they can boast members from the likes of The Great Sabatini, Biipiigwan, I Hate Sally, Architect. With their self-titled release, Cell Press give zero fucks about accessibility, instead they focus on delivering punishing aggression with a melting pot of sludge metal, noise rock, and grindcore.” – The Sludgelord
“Warm fuzzy guitar tones bring a touch of the Sabbath to “Piss Police” with broken chords and momentary pauses giving the kind of sound that Raging Speedhorn look for to accompany the rampant venting screams of the vocals that unapologetically roar along during the montage.” – Metal Noise
“Cell Press’s debut self titled EP is definitely an interesting listen. I didn’t expect it to take me on the journey which it did. An aggressive sound runs throughout showing that this band don’t play by the rules, they’re making music the way they want to.” – The Independent Voice
“Noisy and enjoyable, I give this Cell Press effort high marks. I am a Punk fan from the beginning, and I hear those roots here, certainly in the attitude, even if the category is technically off. The disenfranchisement is very appealing. Recommended.” – Flying Fiddle Sticks

0 Watch Cell Press Drummer Pelt The F’ Out of These Skins For “Dead At OACI” From Noisy, Sludgy Self-Titled EP Out Now!
NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – December 11, 2020
For fans of KEN mode, Unsane, Mastodon, Keelhaul
Cell Press Drummer Posts Video of Pelting Skins For “Dead At OACI” From Noisy, Sludgy Self-Titled EP
EP Out Now! Limited Edition Cassette from Ancient Temple Recordings and No Funeral Records
Lineup (L to R): Sean Arsenian (Guitar, Vox), Joey Cormier (Bass), Mark McGee (Drums), PQ (Vox)
Cell Press drummer Mark McGee has posted his next video of pelting skins with a playthrough for “Dead At OACI”. The first song Cell Press wrote together, the track comes off the Montreal band’s debut EP released on November 27th. The song itself is organized chaos smashing your throat with angry noise and aggressive sludge. Even though Cell Press has no one metal genre label to them, they are best described as a concoction of grindcore, noise, sludge, extreme metal, along with anything and everything the band feels like creating.
Watch McGee shatter the kit in this latest drum video via his YouTube.
Cell Press‘ eclectic self-titled EP may not be metal enough or noise-rock enough or sludge enough for some, but the band gets bored really fast and the result is serious channel surfing taking advantage of a wide variety of influences. With this record, they have gone all out to wrap their ideas up in a burlap sack, tied with razor wire. As the band says in their own words:
“This EP sorta sums up what we’re about at this particular moment. Genre people might not be satisfied with our lack of adherence to any one sound for too long, but we didn’t make these songs for those sorts of people. This ep is designed as a broad introduction to the band, and new listeners will hopefully anticipate what else is coming down the pipe in the future. It upholds the high standards Cell Press sets for themselves and each song is quite different from the others.”
Super loud and vigorous, Cell Press is a sort of hybridized amalgamation of influences, and most recommended for fans of Jesus Lizard, Converge, and Botch.

NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – December 3, 2020
For fans of KEN mode, Unsane, Mastodon, Keelhaul
Cell Press Drummer Posts Playthrough “Piss Police” From Their Noisy, Sludgy Debut Self-Titled EP
EP Out Now! Limited Edition Cassette from Ancient Temple Recordings and No Funeral Records
Lineup (L to R): Sean Arsenian (Guitar, Vox), Joey Cormier (Bass), Mark McGee (Drums), PQ (Vox)
Cell Press drummer Mark McGee has posted a video of his battering hands with a playthrough for “Piss Police”, which is the opening track from the Montreal band’s debut EP released on November 27th.
“Piss Police” is bookended with one riff, which the band plays in different ways, as an intro and outro. The middle section was something their guitarist Sean Arsenian had demoed for a different project, but in the end, found it to be right at home with Cell Press. The bridge is a much noisier take on a Jesus Lizard type of riff.
Watch McGee gorge through the track in the following drum video via his YouTube.
Cell Press has no one metal genre label to them as they are a concoction of grindcore, noise, sludge, extreme metal, along with anything and everything the band feels like creating.
The eclectic ep may not be metal enough or noise-rock enough or sludge enough for some, but Cell Press gets bored really fast and the result is serious channel surfing taking advantage of a wide variety of influences. With this release, they have gone all out to wrap their ideas up in a burlap sack, tied with razor wire. As the band says in their own words:
