Cancer Bats As Bat Sabbath, The Castle & Falcon, Birmingham - 1st February 2024
Easily the most energetic and entertaining band out there, you can tell the guys love to perform and every time they do they knock it out of the park. They were right at home in the Newest of Castles, the small and intimate venue suited them to a tee. Speaking of which, they were very enthusiastic and interactive with the audience, there was a palpable sense of excitement and comradeship between everyone in attendance, unprompted moshes and crowd surfing were in abundance! The Cancer Bats as Bat Sabbath never disappoint and it’s certainly a show I’ll be returning to time and again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cancer Bats as Bat Sabbath, Think Tank, Newcastle Upon Tyne - 31st January 2024
An excellent show by the Cancer Bats 🦇 playing their alter ego of Bat Sabbath. Having seen the original band in action on many occasions going back to the late 70s I took this for what it really is: a nod to the original. The professionalism of the musicians in BS really added to the experience and I would thoroughly recommend them to any heavy music lover. If certainly go again

Cancer Bats as Bat Sabbath, Chinnerys Southend, Southend on Sea - 16th January 2024
It was the first time in a couple of years that I had seen them but they did not disappoint. The energy and showmanship on display last night was fantastic. I'm jealous of the people who are going to see them next. Enjoy people, enjoy.

Cancer Bats , Le Pub, Newport - 3rd July 2023
Since forming in Toronto in 2004, Cancer Bats have built their reputation the honest way, by touring relentlessly and playing loud, sweaty shows around the world. Their sound mixes hardcore punk with sludgy metal and Southern-fried groove, built on big riffs, colossal bass tones and anthemic, party-fuelled vocals. Albums such as Hail Destroyer (2008) and the JUNO-nominated Psychic Jailbreak (2022) have kept them at the heart of heavy music. Their eighth record, Give Me Dirt (2026), was produced by Converge's Kurt Ballou at God City Studios and draws on nature, loss and long motorcycle journeys.
The UK has long been a second home for the band. They've torn up Download, Reading & Leeds, Slam Dunk and 2000 Trees, and their riotous cover of the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" is still a fan favourite. The line-up is vocalist Liam Cormier, drummer Mike Peters, bassist Jaye Schwarzer and guitarist Jackson Landry, and they also play as Black Sabbath tribute act Bat Sabbath. Whatever the stage, expect circle pits, stage dives and a room full of grinning faces.
