Cell is a black metal band that combines cosmic blackened/death riffs, extreme drumming and slight sludge/doom metal. Formed in the late fall of 2014 by Hyperion and David Exell, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, after jamming as a two piece for a few months Ryan Strecker(Daimos) joined on bass, adding the piece that completed the full sound of Cell. Listen as Hyperion gives the Winnipeg Music Project a 101 on the local Metal scene and in the ins and outs about the genre itself.

All pre-recorded music has been removed from this episode.

Cell “The Waiting Sea of Emptiness” from Ancient Incantations of Xarbos

Episode 52 of the Winnipeg Music Project is with Ghost Twin! Joining Jaimz and Karen in the comfort of their living room, we talked about their highly anticipated album release on May 5th at the Good Will and their album release tour. They also shared stories of how they started making music together and odd escapades on their previous tours. A really great interview with two fun and goofy music-makers. This dark synth gloom pop (or as Jaimz describes it dirty bass synth sleaze industrial baroque gloom pop) is a party you don't want to miss!
