Album Review
So you're looking for a metal band without all the "sword and sorcery" imagery, and a punk band whose members aren't mostly interested in how well they put on their mascara, eh? Well, you're in luck — the Toronto-based quartet Cancer Bats fits both of these descriptions. Their 2008 release, Hail Destroyer, also proves that the group has learned well from its influences — namely Refused, Black Flag, Down, and Black Sabbath. In other words, you get punk tunes with a metallic crunch or metal tunes with the speed rush of punk, especially on such standouts as the album-opening title track, "Regret," and "PMA 'Til I'm DOA," among others. Also, the group even throws in a few ditties that could be classified as "Southern metal," especially "Bastard's Waltz." In addition to all the slamming guitar riffs and power chords, frontman Liam Cormier sounds comparable to Zack de la Rocha — if the Rage Against the Machine frontman replaced the rapping with hollering, that is. Hail Destroyer is certainly a hard-hitting release from start to finish.
Customer Reviews
KICKAZZ.
"Deathsmarch" is easily one of my favorite songs ever. But the rest of the album is good too :D FIVE STARS.
True punk, with a metal twist!
Is the music brilliant? NO! Does the name "Cancer Bats" peak your musical interest? NO! ....But I will say, this band rocks hard and with passion! The lame name withstanding, the Cancer Bats bring back the punk vibe of the early 1980's, while incorporating some modern metalism. I had to listen to this "album" a few times to feel its' purpose......it's all about Chemistry. There might not be a musical revelation here but the Cancer Bats make great music; Black Flag meets Rage Against the Machine while being headlocked by At the Drive Inn! Somehow this band works, and it works very well!.......
BADASS
