Cancer Bats‘ “True Zero” video is online now! The new video from the Canadian act is from their upcoming album, “Searching for Zero,” which is set for release in the US via Metal Blade Records on March 10th.
Watch “True Zero,” directed by Jim Agapito, now at YouTube HERE to view and hear what MetalSucks.net describes as a song that “combines the hardcore sound for which Cancer Bats are primarily known with a groovy, kinda Sabbath-y vibe. Also: gotta love Liam Cormier’s gloriously ugly vocals.”
Canada’s Cancer Bats will be back on the road in the US, performing new cuts from their upcoming album, “Searching For Zero,” this March! The tour kicks off on March 15th in Detroit, and runs through March 28th with the final show of the tour at Saint Vitus in Brooklyn, NY. This will be the first chance fans in the states will have to hear brand new music, including the previous released tracks “Satellites” and “Arsenic in the Year of the Snake“. The confirmed list of shows is below, with more to be announced shortly, including performances at this year’s SXSW festival!
Watch the music video for “Satellites” now at cancerbats.com, and check out the lyric / in-studio performance video for “Arsenic in the Year of the Snake” at youtube.com/cancerbatsofficial.
Cancer Bats previously announced a co-headlining European tour with While She Sleeps for April 2015. Tickets and album bundles for the tour are on sale now at ticketmaster.co.uk.
The beloved multiple-JUNO nominated hardcore-punk-metal band’s fifth studio album features 10 tracks and is available for pre-order at cancerbats.com. Fans in the US can pre-order at metalblade.com/cancerbats. 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 menacing Cancer Bats release, 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 more metal leanings of 2008’s Hail Destroyer, while pushing the heavy hybrid sounds of 2010’s Mayors Bears Scraps and Bones and 2012’s darker Dead Set On Living to a new plateau. 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.”
