Cell Division - Chymeia: The chemistry is right
It is quite rare that a band succeeds in uniting different genres of music to a coherent, complete album. Cell Division did just that, by weaving together the ideas of all four band members with their individual musical backgrounds. The result: on Chymeia the dark mood created by Mirjams electric guitar was raised to a higher level. The pop/rock-song are influenced by Trip-Hop, Club-Dance or even Jazz and show the diversity of the band. Nevertheless, the leitmotif of Chymeia is the slightly melancholic atmosphere and the extraordinary voice of the singer Gelgia. In every song - and also on the album as a whole - you will feel the extraordinary vibe that Cell Division envisioned when creating Chymeia.
Chymeia is an album that takes the listener on a journey with many different stages and stations. Each song is different, but all belong together. Have a good trip.
History:
Cell Division was founded 1995 in Zürich, Switzerland by four people with different musical backgrounds: Dark-Rock, Metal, Punk, Hardcore and Jazz-Funk were the main influences of the four musicians. This of course has changed over the years, nevertheless, the basic musical style you carry in your heart does rarely change completely. After the first production “Dissolve†in the year 1999 lead singer Yvette left the band and was replaced by Gelgia C. Since then (year 2001) Gelgia is enchanting the fans of Cell Division with her expressive and diverse voice.
Cell Divisions great potential could already be heard on the album „Tsunami†which was produced by Thommy Hein (Zeraphine, Nina Hagen, Corvus Corax, Tanzwut) in Berlin, Germany in the year 2004.
In autumn 2007, shortly after the recordings for “Chymeiaâ€, H. Hasch quit the band since he needed more time for himself. The new man on the bass is Oli S. and he can hardly wait to play the shows for the new album.
