Shropshire death metallers Cancer made metal history with 1990’s classic ‘To The Gory End’ and 91’s lauded follow up ‘Death Shall Rise’, but vanished for a while in the mid 90s before shrieking back to life in 2005. Since then, the thrashing death crew have been putting out pummeling DM treats such as 2018’s monstrous ‘Shadow Gripped’, and now we finally have the follow up on our hands. Get ready, because when ‘Inverted World’ drops on April 25th via Peaceville, you’re gonna need a new speaker system, because this baby will blow it up good and proper.
“I started writing the new material shortly after the Covid lockdowns,” vocalist/guitarist/founder John Walker states. “I nearly always usually start the writing process by basically fooling around on the guitar, then after a while riffs start to turn into musical ideas. The lyrics, I tend to spend some time thinking about a concept and then I pick the vocabulary appropriate to the idea. Inspiration comes from what’s happening and what has happened in the world and curious tales that interest me. This album is the bands seventh full length release and I feel very fortunate at my age to still be able to do it, mixed by V. Santura I’m super happy with how it’s turned out.”
Given its been 35 years since the band’s debut, it makes sense that Cancer have returned with a killing blow that could easily go up against it. You can pre-order it here: https://cancerband.lnk.to/inverted_world
