"Death Shall Rise (Ltd 180g Red Vinyl)" is a special limited edition LP from the legendary British death metal band Cancer, released by Peaceville Records. Pressed on high-quality 180-gram red vinyl, this reissue offers fans and collectors an authentic experience of one of the genre?s most influential albums. Originally released in 1991, "Death Shall Rise" is celebrated for its raw intensity, technical prowess, and relentless energy?qualities that have cemented it as a classic within the death metal community. The album features standout tracks like ?Hung, Drawn and Quartered? and showcases guest appearances such as James Murphy (ex-Death), adding to its historic significance. Cancer formed in Telford in 1988 and quickly rose to prominence with their uncompromising sound; they are regarded as pioneers of UK death metal alongside acts like Bolt Thrower and Carcass. Over their career, Cancer has earned critical acclaim for albums such as "To the Gory End" and "The Sins of Mankind." Peaceville Records is renowned for supporting groundbreaking extreme music since the late '80s, working with iconic bands across doom, black, gothic, and death metal genres?including Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, Darkthrone?and consistently delivering top-tier releases for discerning listeners.
Death shall rise is more bombastic and brutal than the former, but with less hooks as well. This is not a bad thing. Much like fellow countrymen Bolt Thrower and Benediction, Cancer bludgeons the ears with deep guitar tones and crushing rhythms from the drums and bass.
