The music of CANCER BATS is a rough mix of metalcore, emo, screamo, and a touch of punk rock. Just the guitar alone could blow out your eardrums for good. The driving drums and the truly aggressive, rumbling bass are just as impressive as the six-string. Singer Liam screams, roars, and rages in a way that instills fear. The anger and despair are expressed with such fervor that it's rare to hear. Although Liam's voice sometimes reaches dangerously high pitches, it remains a pronounced vocal style that perfectly fits the brutally driving musical framework. Lyrically, the band has written 12 songs that, with their clear, brutal, and shocking word choice, are not for the faint of heart. There is no attempt to wrap gentle words in a hard disguise here. The band digs its finger into the wound, the songs shake you up, reveal the harsh reality, and quietly, between the lines, the question arises of what kind of society we live in. Do we want to continue living like this? Or would it be better to just exist? The band impressively shows that the society we live in is hardly humane anymore!
CANCER BATS are one of the truly good bands in this genre, where a lot of rubbish is now found.
