Since his creation in 1994, EMBRYONIC CELLS knew a lot of troubles, but being doubly patient, after some demo and ten years in the underground, the band 'orings out his first album called "Before The Storm".

History: we realeased our first demo "Prima Nocte" in 1999. The time came for the second demo, entitled "Necro-Revelation" (2000). Touring the local scene and regions of France for five years. During its representation the live performance was recorded and was released as a DVD and also included interview, report and clip (2005). Today, members of this band are: max (on guitars and vocals), Djo (drums), Dom (bass), and Pierre (keys). During last days of october 2006, EMBRYONIC CELLS recorded first album "Before The Storm" in Creason Design Studio. Album contains 10 songs of terrifying black-thrash metal, sinister, cold and agressive. EMBRYONIC CELLS is not going to stop and at work upon the two album, the recording of wich is going to be stardet in summer 2007. This band play live frequently and have shared the stage with the following bands: Gwar, Nuclear Assault, Obscenity, Mysanthrope, Kronos and more..
We are looking for a label to promote our sound and also contacts with assoc./bands for making a tour. Contact us!!!

About the music
With his new album (composed of 10 songs), the band found his real identity. Embryonic Cells's music is a mix of agressive black-metal and powerful thrash but the whole music is also melancolic. It's a new step of his evolution: texts are darker and guitars are more sharped.

The subjects in the songs
Some ideas come from pictures from our dreams or our childhood. A lot of the texts deals with good and evil. Embryonic Cells's lyrics talk about our propension to sound out the human soul , the texts deals with human interiority. The fantastic allegory is a way for us to evoke interiority, theothers and our nevroses. We love Eilenn's work, F. Frazetta or J.Bosch's pictures.All these works talk about the human soul beyond their monstrous appearence. these artists are for us a big inspiration.

Promotion & concerts
Our absolute priority is playing, again and again... Embryonic Cells is keeping on working on the scene and about that we're curious about the people reactions in front of our new set. Please, we can play in your home and you can ask for more informations: maximebeaulieu@hotmail.fr !


In French: Depuis sa création en 94, EMBRYONIC CELLS a connu bien des tempêtes - redoublant de persévérance, après quelques démos et plus 13 ans passés dans l'underground, le groupe sort enfin son premier album "Before The Storm". L'accueil reservé à l'album est sacrément bon (voir rubrique chroniques) et le groupe est encouragé à sortir un nouvel opus encore meilleur. Mai 2008, EMBRYONIC CELLS s'apprête à sortir "Black Seas", enregistré au Halphas Studio et masterisé au P&F Studio. La musique d'EMBRYONIC CELLS privilégie toujours l'efficacité et l'émotion mais la production devient surpuissante. La dimension épique, la froideur des riffs, la tragédie des arrangements et le chant déchiré combleront les amateurs de noirceur métallique. Les 11 titres de "Black Seas" sont agressifs, puissants et mélancoliques. Le groupe ne cesse de se produire avec désormais plus de 250 concerts à leur actif, avec notamment les premières parties de GWAR, MYSANTHROPE, OBSCENITY, NUCLEAR ASSAULT, DESTINITY, HACRIDE, DARK AGE, KRONOS, X-VISION ect...

A Propos de la musique
La musique s'est encore étoffée et le groupe confirme une identité singulière avec ce second album, armé de 11 titres. La musique d'Embryonic Cells plonge dans un mélange brut de black-métal hargneux et de thrash puissant. L'ensemble est aussi assez mélancolique. Avec "Black Seas" le groupe accède aujourd'hui à une nouvelle phase de son évolution, les textes sont encore plus sombres, la musique agressive et la production du Studio Halphas bien plus puissante.

Les themes abordes dans les morceaux
Certaines idées proviennent d'images issues de nos rêves ou de notre enfance. Il y a énormément de textes qui traite de la notion de bien et de mal. Les paroles d'Embryonic Cells témoignent surtout de notre propension à sonder l'âme humaine et à sublimer les actes les plus abjects. Les textes traitent de l'intériorité humaine. L'allégorie fantastique est un moyen pour nous d'évoquer le soi, les autres et nos névroses liées. "Black Seas" prend pour cadre les univers inquiétants de H.P. Lovecraft et R. Howard. Leurs oeuvres traitent de l'âme humaine bien au-delà de leurs aspects monstrueux. Ces auteurs sont pour nous une source d'inspiration très forte.
