Two-time JUNO-nominated CANCER BATS release their fourth full length album, DEAD SET ON LIVING, on 16 April through Hassle Records. Once again utilising the legendary Vespa Studios and producers Eric Ratz and Kenny Luong, DEAD SET ON LIVING brings yet another dimension to the band’s menacing style of thrash-tinged hardcore rock.
“We really strived for that raw, off-the-floor vibe this time around,” says vocalist Liam Cormier. “It’s really the bridge between our live show and what we put on record.”
Tracks like R.A.T.S. (featuring guest vocals from Rob Urbinati of Sacrifice) and The Void are laced with the gritty, sludgy groove that first emerged on tracks from 2008’s Hail Destroyer, while the blistering first single Old Blood roars with the riot-inducing speed and aggression so familiar to the band’s fans. The blazing Bastards also features vocal boosts from Devil Driver’s Dez Fafara and An Horse’s Kate Cooper.
“We’ve been very lucky to experiment as much as we have,” Cormier offers, crediting the band’s loyal following for their fortune. “I love that we can have thrash songs, hardcore songs, and the more Queens of the Stone Age or Kyuss kind of groove-based tunes”.
