July 24th, 2018

Telford, England-based death metal band Cancer have signed an album contract with Peaceville Records, confirming this development on July 24th, 2018.

The band commented “We are delighted to have signed a recording deal with such an esteemed label as Peaceville. We have full confidence that they understand this metal and Cancer as a band. Together we want to deliver an album that celebrates our 30-year existence and the old school death metal sound that we played a part in creating back in 1988 when the band was conceived. So rejoice and hoist the bunting fashioned from flaps of skin, and fill your balloons with the last gasp of a dying man! We are back from the dead. CFC.”

Cancer’s sixth full-length studio album, Shadow Gripped, is scheduled for issue in November 2018.

Shadow Gripped was recorded at Foel Studio in Llanfair Caereinion, Wales with Simon Efemy handling production and mixing duties alongside the band, with further recording taking place in Spain. The band added: “The recording has gone really well. We have captured the raw essence of what the band actually sounds like. Death metal that will bite your balls off, spit them out, and leave you shouting for more!!!!”

Cancer’s line-up is as follows:

John Walker (vocals and guitar)
Ian Buchanan (bass)
Carl Stokes (drums)

Fifth studio record Spirit In Flames was released in June 2005 via Copro Records.
