This band is amazing, pure and simple. This album is fantastic from start to finish. I've seen these guys live (I have shaken hands with the lead singer!) and they were amazing. They were supporting Funeral for a Friend and, to be honest, Cancer Bats were better by a long shot.
I'd recommend this to anyone who loves rock or metal.

If like me you've been waiting for something new to inject some excitement into the current metal/hardcore/punk scene which lets face it, is just full of too many soundalike metalcore bands (not that they're all bad mind!) then this is it. I bought this with the first album 'Birthing the Giant' which is also excellent, but for me, this is the better album, more aggressive vocals and a few more killer riffs in my opinion.
The whole album is just awesome, theres only really one song that I'm not too fond of and thats 'Sorceress', but its by no means bad. Favourites for me have to be the opening title track, 'Smiling Politely' featuring vocals by Benjamin Kowalewicz of Billy Talent (lets hope he sings a bit more like this on the next ... Read More:

All I can say is, this is a great album on its own.
But as a follow up to Birthing the Giant?
It's average at best.
I was quite disappointed while at the same time enjoying it.
Harem of Scorpions with Tim McIlrath, Hail Destroyer and Smiling Politely are the best for me.
Took a few listens to get into I must say, and even then, there are some weaker tracks. The lyrics in Pray For Darkness I'm not too keen on, and Lucifer's Rocking Chair is... alright. Whereas, on Birthing The Giant, there isn't a weak track.
If you loved the rock-infused element of Hail Destroyer, you'll love every second of Birthing The Giant.
My recommendation- Buy it 1st, then buy this.

Finally a band giving a much needed metal injection into the regurgitated rock scene we have now. Cancer Bats mix metal and punk into an explosive cocktail which literally blew me away. It reminds me of Vision of Disorder but a bit more fun. I can definitely hear a southern metal influence in there with riffs compared to the likes of Down and Corrosion of Conformity. The band keep it ultra tight with very impressive vocals, like the sort that could rip up tarmac of a road! All this and I didn't skip one track! Definitely an album worth buying! HAIL DESTROYER!!!!

I had never heard of Cancer Bats until a few months ago, but I'm so glad I did! Every track is full of raw energy that any hardcore fan, or any metal fan in fact, will love. Those amazing beefy lyrics of Liam Cormier and some snarling, greasy riffs from Scott Middleston make this album one of the best of 2008! Tracks:
'Hail Destroyer': Title track and lead single and its obvious to see why. An amzing riff that stays in your head and once you know the lyrics, you have to sing along! This is what Cancer Bats are all about! Raw energy. This song has plenty of it! 5/5
'Harem of Scorpions': Good second track but not as good riff but still a great track. 4/5
'Deathsmarch': Awesome track. Great riffs and lyrics with ... Read More:
