Biography
The legendary CANCER was formed one night in 1988 down the Tontine pub in Ironbridge by original members Carl Stokes, John Walker & Ian Buchanan. They quickly put together a demo in the Pits (Studio) called "No Fuckin Cover Demo", sent out the demo and got signed to Vinyl Solution. Then started a diet of writing and playing live with such bands as "Bomb Disneyland", "Bolt Thrower", "Cerebral Fix", and "G.B.H.".
In winter 1989 the first LP 'To The Gory End' was recorded (released in April 1990 and followed by tours with Obituary and Deicide). The disease was spreading... Then In Feb 1991 Cancer went to Florida to record the 2nd LP 'Death Shall Rise' with James Murphy on Lead Guitar. This album was released after a tour of Europe in the winter of 1991. More tours followed, and a debut appearance at the Milwaukee Metal Festival secured an interest in the band in America.
