CANCER: Spirit in Flames Vinyl LP

The early nineties UK death metal scene never got the credit it deserved, and Cancer were one of the reasons that stings. Operating out of Telford, they split the difference between American brutality and a grimy British edge that felt closer to a condemned council estate than any Florida swamp.

Originally released in 2005, Spirit in Flames sits in the grimier end of the Cancer catalogue, death metal with thrash tendencies and absolutely no interest in being polished or palatable. This is the kind of record that keeps company with early Autopsy and Demolition Hammer, bands that understood ugliness was a feature, not a bug. If you've been sleeping on UK death metal, here's your entry point.

180g vinyl LP.
