Cancer Bats previously announced a co-headlining European tour with While She Sleeps for April 2015. Tickets and album bundles for that tour are on sale now here.
The beloved multiple-JUNO nominated hardcore-punk-metal band’s fifth studio album features 10 tracks and you can ~ should~ pre-order it here unless you’re in the US, in which case head here to get your pre-order in. Produced by legendary multi-platinum producer Ross Robinson (At The Drive-In, Slipknot, The Cure, Sepultura, glassjaw), Searching For Zero is simultaneously the most melodic yet also most menacing Cancer Bats release yet, described by bassist Jaye Schwarzer as a “raw, open wound.” The record incorporates the crude hardcore punk of their 2006 debut, Birthing The Giant and the more metal leanings of 2008’s Hail Destroyer, and combines those with the heavy hybrid sounds of 2010’s Mayors Bears Scraps and Bones and 2012’s darker Dead Set On Living, bringing Cancer Bats’ sound to a whole new level. The choruses are hookier, the screams more savage, the riffs more vicious, the songs more powerful. This is Cancer Bats at their pinnacle ~ their “True Zero.”
