Cancer Bats - Birthing the Giant

For a band known largely for their stage presence, it's crucial that their album embodies that aspect of their craft. From the first seconds of Birthing the Giant's opener, "Golden Tanks," it's clear that such a problem isn't going to arise. Every note and lyric is performed with the desperation that at any second their gear might be unplugged and taken away, and things hardly let down through the album's 11 tracks.
