I thought I’d heard it all and then bam! Cancer hits with the power of a nine year old bully. Their album reminds me a lot of >INSERT TERRIBLE METAL BAND HERE< without all the biting originality. Cancer’s lyrics touch on topics important to all Americans such as decomposing corpses, burning flesh, zombies, amputation, decapitation, pus, sores, scabs, and stagflation in developing economies. All in all, if you’ve got enough money to buy Cancer albums, do everyone a favor, and donate your hard earned buck to cancer research instead.

Cancer knows how to play Death Metal right. No humor, no kinkiness, and no ultra-technicality is added to riffs. Only darkness and brutality. The vocals are both gutteral and comprehensible. Though, they don’t have any awe-inspiring subject matter, the combination of both comprehensibility and appropriateness in tone makes this album goosebump inducing. I minus 1 star because some of the riffs are tiresome and the versu/chorus riffs tend to be slowed down. Regardless, this album is dark, fast, and heavy. You must buy this.

This is Death Metal at it’s finest so far I’ve heard To the Gory End,Death Shall Rise, And Sins Of Mankind and just stumbled onto these guys a couple years ago I’ve been blown away ever since and they our back together again with a new cd for 05 “Spirit In Flames” check there website but it only in the UK right now maybe cdnow can help us out and get ahold of it
Cnacer’s 2nd album is one heavy mother. The production is much thicker and fuller sounding than the previous debut To the Gory End. The band continues on the same path they started with To the Gory End. The addition of James Murphy on lead guitar is definitely a plus! Check out his awesome solo in the first track “Hung Drawn and Quartered”. This has to be THE best Death Metal song to bang your head through a wall. For me the best songs along with Hung Drawn are “Tasteless Incest” “Death Shall Rise” and “Back from the Dead”. But really all 8 songs are killer. This album was a great follow up to the debut. Although the production on this album is better, I still prefer To the Gory End because I like the songwriting more. Most people seem to like Death Shall Rise the best. All 3 Cancer albums are awesome but if I had to pick, Id choose To the Gory End. Good news for Cancer fans! Their website says that in ‘05 the first 3 albums will be remastered/resissued w/ bonus tracks!!! Hell yes! If you dont like Cancer, you are missing out big time
