Cancer Bats
ROCK / METAL / HARDCORE
Fueled by a burning desire to rage harder, play louder and have more fun than any other band, Cancer Bats have come to destroy.
The Cancer Bats have come to destroy. Fueled by a burning desire to rage harder, play louder and have more fun
than any other band, Cancer Bats mix hardcore, southern metal, and punk rock into a lethal rock and roll explosion.
The band originated in May of 2004 with singer Liam Cormier and guitarist Scott
Middleton, former member of Toronto metal band At The Mercy Of Inspiration. The two wanted to form a project that
combined their favorite parts of bands like Refused, Black Flag, Led Zeppelin and Down, among others. The line-up was rounded
out with the addition of Andrew McCracken on bass and Mike Peters on drums.
Cancer Bats are usually referred to as a hardcore, metalcore, death punk and heavy metal band, and have also been referred
to as having influences from stoner rock, southern metal, sludge metal and groove metal.
Now Cancer Bats are taking their musicianship to a whole new level. Cormier's heated vocals
and heavily personal lyrics keep the energy high, while axe-wielding Middleton's electrifying solos and shredding riffs make you want
to rock out like never before. Throw in Mike Peter's rhythmic ferocity and you have a band that will leave you salivating for more.
