CANCER BATS: 'Deathsmarch' Video Available
February 25, 2009"Deathsmarch", the new video from Toronto, Canada's hardcore/metal band CANCER BATS, can be viewed below. The song comes off the band's sophomore full-length album, "Hail Destroyer", which came out last year via Black Market Activities. The CD was 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. According to a press release, "Hail Destroyer" sees CANCER BATS "mature sonically and evolving as they incorporate the past, present of hardcore while they pave out its future."
In a February 2008 interview with ChartAttack.com, Liam Cormier stated about the CD, "This album is definitely heavier, but at the same time, it's a lot more stoner rock, and a bit more dancey, and way more punk. I am a lot more pissed off, definitely screaming a lot more. Everyone who's heard it has said my voice sounds a lot more gnarly and a lot more pissed off. . . Everything we loved about [2006's] 'Birthing The Giant' we just pushed to the next level. A lot of people who hear it say it's a natural progression for the band. It's not like we're making any huge departures. It's more like, where songs needed to get heavier, we made them heavier. Where songs needed to be fast, we made them faster. If we had stoner aspects, we'd ride that home. I feel that we made a conscious effort with this to follow through more on what we wanted to do as a band than with the last record. I feel like this is our band coming together."
