Cancer Bats
For more than 20 years, Canadian hardcore heavyweights Cancer Bats have delivered uncompromising intensity, building a global reputation through relentless touring, raw live shows, and a catalogue of acclaimed releases. Formed in Toronto, the band have cultivated a cult-like following with their signature blend of heavy riffs, colossal bass tones, crashing drums and anthemic vocals. They’ve earned multiple JUNO nominations and widespread coverage from outlets like Kerrang! and Metal Hammer, alongside regular airplay on BBC Radio. With a formidable live presence spanning continents from Europe to Asia and a strong foothold in the UK festival circuit, Cancer Bats stand as a defining force in modern heavy music.

Cancer Bats continue to push forward with renewed momentum, with their eighth studio album, Give Me Dirt, marking a new chapter in their evolution. The record captures years of development, blending themes of nature, travel and personal reflection with their heaviest, most dynamic sound to date. Produced by Kurt Ballou at God City Studios and completed in Canada with Ian Romano, the album has further elevated their standing, with larger stages, higher festival billings and continued international acclaim.
