Background information about 'The Sins Of Mankind'

British death metal veterans Cancer unleash their devastating sophomore effort "The Sins Of Mankind", a relentless assault that showcases the band's evolution from their raw debut. This album finds the trio diving deeper into complex song structures while maintaining their signature brutality, with tracks like "Electro-Convulsive Therapy" and "Meat Train" delivering punishing riffs and John Walker's distinctive growls. The conceptual elements surrounding mankind's darker nature permeate throughout, creating a cohesive listening experience that balances technical proficiency with old-school death metal savagery.

The production on this release captures that perfect early '90s death metal sound - heavy enough to crush but clear enough to appreciate the intricate guitar work and thunderous rhythm section. Songs like "Cloak Of Darkness" and the epic two-part suite "The Conquest" / "Under The Flag" demonstrate Cancer's ability to craft memorable hooks within their extreme framework. The inclusion of demo versions as bonus tracks provides fascinating insight into the band's creative process, showing how these crushing anthems developed from their initial raw forms.
