EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE OF THE NEW CANCER BATS VIDEO “DEAD WRONG”

Cancer Bats are a pretty cool band, and so is their brand new album Bears, Mayors, Scraps & Bones, out now on Good Fight Entertainment. Frontman Liam Cormier seemed like a mighty cool cat when I spoke with him back in March, taking his band’s inability to fit into any one scene in stride. Diana Lee Zadlo’s live photos of Cancer Bats in Philly were pretty cool too, so much so that they made me wish I’d been able to see the band live. And wouldn’t you know it, Cancer Bats are one of the few bands on the ridonkulously-monikered “Cool Tour” who hold the distinction of actually living up the tour’s billing.

And here we are with a pretty cool video for their song “Dead Wrong,” which comes from the aforementioned album. Cool.

Did I mention how heavy these guys are and how much they kick ass? Yeah, that too.

    Cancer Bats are so badass, this album is only a little bit better than their “Hail Destroyer” album

  • andy

    This is quite a badass band, I must check them out.

    • Alex_P

      Do so. The new album is one of my top albums of the year so far.

      And their debut is nothing short of awesome. Easily among the best hardcore bands of recent years.

    this is one of the few metalcore bands that is actually hardcore plus metal
    more bands should be like this

    • Alex_P

      Really just a hardcore band whose members listen to metal, I’d say.

  • Matthew Grant Anson

    Why does the guy in the middle look like Vin Diesel with a the-guy-from-AFI haircut?

    • Honeynutzz

      Do you actually expect someone to answer that?

  • mo biscuits

      Yeah, because Mo Biscuits is the complete the opposite of stupid.

      • Clancy

        No doubt, Cancer Bats good, mo biscuits not so much.

    I’d say this has got to be their coolest/awesomeist video yet. With Lucifer’s Rocking Chair coming a very close second. Cancer Bats never fail to disappoint!

    • Ange
