To say that Toronto’s Cancer Bats are busy these days would be an understatement.
The band has released a video for the song Road Sick, their second from the upcoming full length release Dead Set On Living. One of the most eagerly anticipated of 2012, the new album will be released April 16th by Hassle Records in the UK and April 17th by Distort Inc. in Canada. In the US, Metal Blade will release the album April 24th.
Prior to the release of the new album, the band will be on the road to SXSW with Ringworm.
The Bats will then tour Canada in support of the new album as part of the Dead Set On Living Tour, featuring Jeremy Bolm’s Touche Amore. Additional support will be by A Sight For Sewn Eyes.
Following the Canadian tour, the band will head overseas for a tour of Europe and the UK, including dates in support of Andy William‘s Every Time I Die. Support will be provided by Set Your Goals and Make Do And Mend. The will then remain in Europe for a run of festivals including Slam Dunk, Rock Im Park, Download, Sucks n Summer, Nova Rock, Hellfest Open Air, Gods of Metal, Earshakerdays, Graspop, and Costa Del Fuego.
