Cancer Bats Announce Spring 2013 Tour Dates with Kvelertak and Black Tusk

Bat Sabbath – Bastard of Reality EP is available on-line now!

Cancer Bats will be returning to the US in April and May with Kvelertak and Black Tusk! The combination of these high energy live acts makes this tour one not to be missed! The shows begin April 21st in Chicago, IL and wrap up on May 20th in Allston, MA.

Cancer Bats recently released a new EP: Bat Sabbath – Bastards of Reality. The EP consists of five Black Sabbath covers and was inspired by the overwhelmingly positive response the band received for their “Bat Sabbath” Canadian tour in 2011, as well as the Sonisphere 2011 after party. Bootleg videos from the Sonisphere set can be seen now on metalblade.com/cancerbats. Bat Sabbath – Bastards of Reality is available now on iTunes for $4.95. Current tour dates are listed below with additional dates, including US show will be announced soon.

Critics and fans across the globe have heaped praise upon Dead Set On Living. About.com claims that “With positivity this ugly, it’s hard not to find something to love,” while the UK’s Metal Hammer gives the album a 9/10: “It’s heavy, it’s catchy, it’s relentlessly brilliant and, above all else, it’s still quite unlike anything else you’re likely to hear this year”. Fans can pick up Dead Set On Living directly from metalblade.com, as well as on iTunes, Amazon, and at local record stores.
