The post-hardcore Canadians Cancer Bats have just begun a massive tour that will keep them on the road until mid-December. This monumental tour will take the Bats across the US and through the UK to play numerous dates throughout. For the US dates, the Bats will be supported by metalcore icons Bullet For My Valentine and Bleeding Through. When they cross the pond the Bats will part with BFMV and Bleeding Through to meet up with Welsh post-hardcore peers, Funeral For a Friend. Prior the UK leg of the tour, the Bats are scheduled to make several festival appearances in both the UK and Europe. Two of these festival appearances, the ULU Festival in London and the Colchester Arts Centre performance in Colchester, feature the Bats alongside political-punk-veterans, Anti-Flag. The Cancer Bats latest LP Hail Destroyer is currently available through Black Market Activities. For a complete list of US/UK tour dates and appearances, please refer to the tour section below. Enjoy the video for the Cancer Bats first single off Hail Destroyer, “Hail Destroyer.”
