Hail Destroyer

by: Cancer Bats

Release Date April 21, 2008
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.

Birthing the Giant

by: Cancer Bats

Release Date December 04, 2006
The word Hardcore is applied, often mistakenly, to a lot of bands these days. But the Cancer Bats really deserve this epithet. This is hardcore as it should be: absolutely furious, blistering, body-shaking riffs, complex rhythm and chord shifts by talented musicians creating an overpowering wall of sound. Every song throws you across the room, and listening to the album all the way through leaves you breathless. Vocalist Liam Cormier has a good shout on him: frenzied, but coherent. The guitars will suddenly leap up out of the thrash and hit you in the face, or the drums will take over for a little while, or they'll launch into a shout-along chorus, or now and again they'll get creative with a time signature, or suddenly sound a little bit rockabilly. ...

Black Faith

by: Cancer

Release Date June 29, 1995
Here's an oddity. Cancer had previously released three solid, if unadventurous, death metal albums in the early `90's, when out of nowhere they suddenly appeared on a major label - Warner - for 4th album Black Faith. When any decent underground band suddenly makes the jump to a major label the words `commercial sell-out' inevitably follow close behind, and Cancer's story from here on in is depressingly predictable - sign to major; tone down sound in an attempt to appeal to a mainstream audience; lose all your old fans; fail to gain enough new fans; get dropped; split up.

As such its no real surprise that Cancer's previous death metal sound has been largely ditched here in favour of a more commercial thrash/rock feel, while the vocals have gone from standard ... Read More:

Death Shall Rise

by: Cancer

Release Date
Death shall Rise is Cancer's second album. Its a marked improvement on "To the Gory End", mainly because of the production (Scott Burns at Morrisound).
The album kicks off with a ghostly death chime that blasts into "Hung Drawn & Quatered". Glen Benton of Deicide provides backing vocals and the peice is a good opener. The good thing about Cancer is that you can actually understand the lyrics, which helps.
"Tasteless Incest" chops and changes the tempo constantly. Its a pity that ex Death/Obituary guitarist James Murphy hasn't more to offer in the solos on this album, as all are perfection, but could have been plucked straight off Obituary's "Cause of death".
"Burning casket" is again a mid tempo song. I don't really like it coz of the basic lyrics. Theres only ... Read More:
