CANCER BATS Drop Surprise Sixth Album; Spit Out Venomous “Rattlesnake” Music Video [Exclusive Premiere]

Surprise!!! Toronto’s metallic hardcore heavyweights Cancer Bats have stunned fans by surprise-releasing a crushing new album The Spark That Moves. The album, Cancer Bats sixth, sees release through the band’s own label Bat Skull Records, in partnership with New Damage Records.

“We were just tired of waiting,” said frontman Liam Joseph Cormier. “We spent all of 2017 working hard on this album, all while playing shows and talking with our fans, who were constantly asking “when can we hear new music!?”. We figured why make anyone wait any longer, let’s just drop the entire new album all at once,” Cormier enthused. “I know as a fan, I just want to hear everything right away, let me buy the record right now! We figured, why not release our own music the way we want.”

To celebrate the release of this beast of a record, PureGrainAudio are humbled to be exclusively premiering the new music video for the venomous track “Rattlesnake”. One of eleven new songs from the band, the track, the shortest on the album, features a guest appearance from Jenna Priestner of Winnipeg punk duo, Mobina Galore.

Liam commented on the track saying: “This track is all about going against the grain and norms and forging our own path. So many of the things we’ve done as a band have gone against what should be done within the music industry and now, at 13 years, we look back and are so glad we just pushed forward and did things our own way. Sharing that sentiment is Jenna from Mobina Galore a band forging their own path and making no excuses for it.”
