 U.K. Death Metal Veterans CANCER Sign To PEACEVILLE; New Album Due This Fall

U.K. death metal veterans CANCER have inked a deal with Peaceville , the label known for its enviable death metal heritage, from the early days of PARADISE LOST and AUTOPSY to AT THE GATES and VITAL REMAINS through to OPETH , BLOODBATH and AKERCOCKE . CANCER 's new studio album is tentatively due in late 2018.

CANCER said in a statement: "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."

One of the U.K.'s premiere death metal purveyors of the late '80s and early '90s, including a major label spell on East West / Warner with 1995's "Black Faith" , CANCER now marks 30 years since its formation by announcing its much-anticipated sixth full length album, reuniting all three original core members — John Walker on guitar/vocals, Ian Buchanan on bass and Carl Stokes on drums — for the first time since 1995.

With fan demand and interest in the rejuvenated band ever increasing, CANCER has been busy playing festivals over the last three years in support of re-releases of the first three albums, delivering their own punishing brand of death metal to fans old and new. This was the much-needed catalyst that spurred the band on to return to their classic inspirational sound when writing new material.

The new album is tentatively titled "Shadow Gripped" and will feature twelve songs of brutal old-school death metal. The disc was recorded at Foel studios in Wales with Simon Efemy ( PARADISE LOST , NAPALM DEATH , AMORPHIS ) handling production and mixing duties alongside the band, with further recording taking place in Spain. The band checked in from the studio saying: "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!" Via Blabbermouth
