CANCER BATS To Release Sophomore Album Hail Destroyer In April
February 20, 2008, 16 years ago
The CANCER BATS will release their much anticipated sophomore album Hail Destroyer on April 22nd on Distort Inc. Co-produced by Eric Ratz (BIG SUGAR, THEORY OF A DEAD MAN, BILLY TALENT), Kenny Luong (BILLY TALENT), and Greg Below (ALEXISONFIRE) and recorded at Vespa Studios, "the album features an edgier, much heavier, and finely tuned collection of songs," according to a press release. "Integrating more punk, stoner rock, metal, and hardcore into the mix and taking a much more introspective approach than its predecessor, ‘Hail Destroyer’ sees the Cancer Bats taking their musicianship to a whole new level. Lead singer Liam Cormier’s vocals and heavily personal lyrics keep the energy high throughout the album, while axe-wielding Scott 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 an album that will leave you salivating for more. Joining the Cancer Bats on ‘Hail Destroyer’ are Cancer Bat bro’s Ben Kowalewicz, Wade MacNeil, and Tim McIlrath."
The Cancer Bats are currently touring across Canada. Look out for the Cancer Bat’s new video for ‘Hail Destroyer’ coming in Spring 2008.
