Keep in mind that I generally don't like the music scene that Cancer Bats are associated with..
But every now and then this current type of post-hardcore sounds good.
When I first heard the band (some song from Hail Destroyer I can't remember) I thought they were an actual sludgy metal band..and I liked it. But after hearing more of their music, I could hear that they weren't and I was kinda disappointed. So, for this type of band it comes down to how I like the vocals and the general style of metal/hardcore that this type of band mimics. In this case it sounds like these guys are into good sludgy metal and the vocals sound alright. Still, I find myself bored about 2 minutes into most of the songs.

I give it a Good
