CexCells

Before Davey Havok and Jade Puget formed Blaqk Audio, the two began including more synthesized elements into AFI's songs, notably in the albums Sing the Sorrow and Decemberunderground.^[13][14] In the August 2006 issue of Guitar World, Puget revealed that "Love Like Winter" and "37mm" from Decemberunderground were initially intended to be a part of the side project.^[15] According to Havok, the concept of Blaqk Audio began at some point between 2001 and 2002, with "Snuff on Digital" being the first song written for the side project.^[16][17] Puget began experimenting with a multitude of industrial to ambient sounds, and was influenced by many different types of electronic music.^[18]

Havok and Puget entered the studio in January 2007 to begin recording CexCells.^[19] Puget began updating fans through their official Myspace page.^[20] Dan Under of The Dear & Departed and Nick 13 of Tiger Army, who has previously performed with AFI (see I Heard a Voice), provided background vocals for the album. The album's name and defunct release date was announced via Myspace and AbsolutePunk.^[11]

On August 3, 2007, Hot Topic stores across the United States began having listening parties to preview the entire album.^[21]

The album's fourth track, "Bitter For Sweet", was available for streaming via Myspace. A non-album track titled "If Only" was available for streaming on June 14 via Myspace as well. In January 2007, Puget posted lyrics to a song titled "Black-Ink Style" on his official blog, however, it was not included on the album and has not been released to date.

Instrumental segments of "Between Breaths (An XX Perspective)" and "The Love Letter" were used in the trailer for the 2008 remake of The Eye.^[22]
