Cancer Bats have to be one of the best and freshest things to happen to heavy metal in years. Certainly their sound isn’t anything groundbreaking, but they do bring a flavor and richness to it that makes it completely alluring. It’s like a welcoming sledgehammer hit to the cranium. Resistance is futile.
Proving the case regarding how compelling their sound is, the new video for the track “Beelzebub.” Check it out in the player above and let us know what you think in the comments section below.
“Beelzebub” comes by way of the band’s latest album, Searching for Zero, which was released on March 10, 2015, and can be ordered here.
The “Beelzebub” video comes as a precursor to the Cancer Bats’ North American dates set to commence next week, which includes a run with Danzig and Pennywise.
Vocalist Liam Cormier commented:
We’re so excited to be heading out with Danzig and Pennywise. Both bands have been our favorites since we first got into punk and metal, so to have a chance to tour with both is like a dream come true! We’ll be ripping the pit and headbanging until we puke every night!
