Cancer Bats
\nThe Spark That Moves
\n<\/em>(Bat Skull Records\/New Damage Records)
\n4\/5<\/p>\n

Canadian hardcore punk group Cancer Bats\u2019 newest album, The Spark That Moves<\/em>, is seriously top-notch. They manage to keep the spark of good old-fashioned heavy punk alive while throwing tinges of fast-paced late-Metallica rock into the mix on tracks like \u201cSpace and Time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The guitar on \u201cBed of Nails\u201d and \u201cWe Run Free\u201d is flawless, and \u201cFear Will Kill Us All\u201d encompasses Elton John, punk, and heavy metal all in the same song.<\/p>\n

The album is versatile, with invigorating beats and riffs keeping the knees jiggling at the desk on an otherwise routine work day. No song sounds too similar to the last on this album, with traditional metal numbers like \u201cRattlesnake\u201dand \u201cGatekeeper\u201d also showingthe bands true punk spirit.<\/p>\n

Vocalist Liam Cormier\u2019s alcohol-and-tobacco-free lifestyle is clearly paying off as he approaches his 40s, because his voice is one of few worldwide that, mark my words,\u00a0 could scream bloody murder or sing a \u201950s folk song and sound killer either way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
