Cancer

Cancer is a UK-based death metal band that emerged from the underground scene in the early 1990s, known for its raw and aggressive sound that pushes the boundaries of heavy metal music. Their journey began with the seminal release of "To the Gory End" in 1990, an album that would establish them as influential purveyors of the genre, resonating with fans of extreme music for its unapologetic brutality and dark themes. The band went on to build their discography with albums like "Death Shall Rise" and "The Sins of Mankind," which continued to showcase their relentless pursuit of intense, unfiltered metal music, garnering a loyal and dedicated fanbase.

Over the years, Cancer experienced several hiatuses and lineup changes, which saw their sound evolve while remaining true to the raw essence of their early work. After a significant break, they returned with "Spirit In Flames" in 2005, deviating slightly by incorporating more groove elements into their classic death metal style. However, it wasn't until their 2018 album "Shadow Gripped" that the band truly revisited their old-school death metal roots, to the delight of longtime fans. With songs like "Garrotte" and "Ballcutter," Cancer proved their enduring ability to deliver punishing riffs and guttural vocals. The band’s consistent nod to their roots is evident with the deluxe editions of their groundbreaking early albums, ensuring that new generations of metal enthusiasts discover and revere the raw power and unyielding intensity that is Cancer.
