Cancer - To The Gory End

Peaceville - VILELP1303

Death metal gods Cancer burst onto the UK extreme metal scene thirty-five years ago, & established a strong global following over the course of their seven studio albums, including a stint with major label EastWest under Warner Music. 2018's 'Shadow Gripped' album reunited the core band for the first time since 1995 for a new masterclass of twisted savagery, & 2025's 'Inverted World' showed the recently reinvigorated band had lost none of its passion for relentless old school brutality.

Released back in 1991 at the height of the global death metal explosion, 'Death Shall Rise' is rightly regarded as one of the classic pillars of the genre. A clear evolution over debut 'To The Gory End', 'Death Shall Rise' contained a noticeable development in its composition & sound, whilst retaining the raw essence & attack of what made the debut itself such a ferocious classic.

Joining the core trio of John Walker on guitar/vocals, Ian Buchanan on bass & Carl Stokes on drums was revered guitar virtuoso James Murphy (Death, Obituary, Disincarnate), with Deicide's Glen Benton also contributing a guest backing vocal. 'Death Shall Rise' was recorded at the legendary US studio, Morrisound (Sepultura, Morbid Angel, Deicide) with equally renowned & prolific producer Scott Burns at the helm.
