The record marks the band’s first for Marshall Records and follows their 2022 album ‘ Psychic Jailbreak ’. It is produced by Kurt Ballou alongside Zach Weeks at God City Studios in Salem, Massachusetts, and features the current line-up of Liam Cormier, Mike Peters, Jaye Schwarzer and Jackson Landry.

Cancer Bats have also shared the new single ‘Stay Stuck’, accompanied by a video directed by Mitch Barnes, which you can watch above.

“‘Stay Stuck’ was such a fun song for us to write,” Cormier has said. “It was one of the first songs that we finished while working on the new record, and we really all felt like we had tapped into the classic Cancer Bats bouncy fun element we’ve had in songs since the beginning.”

‘Psychic Jailbreak’ arrived in 2022 as Cancer Bats’ first album since founding guitarist Scott Middleton’s departure.  Speaking with  NME  around the time , Cormier spoke about the newest wave of hardcore, saying IDLES  were “basically the biggest hardcore band on the planet”.

Before the October tour,  Cancer Bats are also set to play 2000trees festival at Upcote Farm in Cheltenham in July.
