     After becoming friends with Hunter Johnson I've gained access to a few sick bands adjacent to the screamo scene, namely his solo project Charger Port and the metallic hardcore/screamo band TERROR CELL that he drums for. Today I've got the latter's new song, still unreleased, that will show up on their next record. I'll let them fill in a few blanks below, then I'll discuss the single.

     "Constant Visions of Suffering" is the first single from TERROR CELL’s second full length LP 'All Quiet' set to release mid-to-late 2024 via Fisher King Records on vinyl as well as cassette and CD in collaboration with Soft Grit Recordings. This jam was engineered by Joey Woodard and mixed/mastered by Adam Cichoocki.

     Based in the “screamo capitol of the world” Richmond, VA, the band’s sound has been largely influenced from the start by titanic Richmond area groups such as Pageninetnine, Majority Rule, and City of Caterpillar, and 'All Quiet' sees these influences significantly dialed up. The album title itself being borrowed from the 1929 anti-war novel “All Quiet On the Western Front”, while far from being a concept album, has consistent overlying themes of the horrors of war, and the grief that accompanies it.

     The metallic hardcore side of the band is still present, but the screamo elements are definitely creeping in. The song takes its time building the foundation with rolling drums, ethereal guitars, and strained yells before things lurch into what I would describe as chunky, atmospheric black metal with much more of a backbone after 1:30 mark. The subsequent section beings around 2:40 and takes the song from enveloping to homicidal in a heartbeat, bringing to mind mathcore and deathcore bands as well as Meth. and Abuse Repression complete with an ending that nightmares are made of. That's some hot shit, good lord.
