I really hope I’m the first to use this title.<\/p>\n

In heavy metal it’s pretty easy to assume what any given band will sound like based solely on their name and logo. Toxik<\/strong> just sounds<\/em> like a technical thrash band, Cemetery Filth<\/strong> is pretty clearly a death metal band, and Machine Head<\/strong> is so painfully\u00a0just the sound of bleaching hair<\/a>. If your name to sound association skills are up to par then it should come as no surprise that Black Fucking Cancer<\/strong> (what a name!) play a\u00a0truly acidic brand of black metal.<\/p>\n

After hanging around for what seems like ages, the band is readying the release of their eponymous debut, due out on Graceless Recordings and Osmose Productions, and it delivers exactly what you’d expect based on their 2011 demo Summoning Aural Hell.\u00a0<\/em>Things kick off rather ominously with a gentle reverberating tink, like a forge hammer lost in time and trying to be heard over the ever present growl of bass. Any hope to hear its cries are soon lost, as guitars quickly take over the duty of hammering away, drums not too distantly behind. The only pause in this aural storm is merely to set you up for the heart of it. Guitars quickly swarm in sounding like every angered bee in existence buzzing all at once. In the background the bass guitar and bass drums provide an almost indistinguishable rumble. This proves more of an annoyance the further you get, but in the moment it adds another layer of chaos to an already frantic burner of a song. It slows again briefly, perhaps just to make sure you’re still alive, only to kick back into overdrive and assuring you that it doesn’t particularly care one way or the other.<\/p>\n
