Telford, England-based death metal band Cancer issued sixth full-length studio album Shadow Gripped<\/em><\/a> on November 2nd, 2018 through Peaceville Records.<\/p>\n

Shadow Gripped<\/em> was recorded at Foel Studio in Llanfair Caereinion, Wales with Simon Efemey handling production and mixing duties alongside the band, with further recording taking place in Spain.<\/p>\n

The outing features a guest contribution from Anders Nystr\u00f6m (Bloodbath \/ Katatonia) who provides a guitar solo on the track \u2018Ballcutter\u2019.<\/p>\n

Nystr\u00f6m commented: \u201cBelieve it or not, but Katatonia used to play a Cancer cover in our early live sets, yup that\u2019s right \u2018Burning Casket\u2019! We then saw ourselves go on and form a little death metal band based on the opening track of To The Gory End<\/em> [1990], and hey we all know that one, don\u2019t we? Last year we ended up recording this song and put it out on a 7-inch EP and I thought it probably won\u2019t get any better than this, but it did, as I was given the honour to put down a guest solo on their new ball-cutting album! CFC is back and it has me even more stoked than Carl is Stokes!\u201d <\/p>\n
