Released in 1991 at the height of the global death metal explosion, Death Shall Rise is rightly regarded as one of the classic pillars of the genre.
Joining Cancer's core trio - John Walker on guitar/vocals, Ian Buchanan on bass and Carl Stokes on drums - were revered guitar virtuoso James Murphy (Death, Obituary, Disincarnate), with Deicide's Glen Benton also contributing a guest backing vocal.
Recorded at the legendary US studio, Morrisound (Sepultura, Morbid Angel, Deicide) with producer Scott Burns.

Death metal gods Cancer burst onto the UK extreme metal scene thirty-five years ago, & established a strong global following over the course of their seven studio albums, including a stint with major label EastWest under Warner Music. 2018's 'Shadow Gripped' album reunited the core band for the first time since 1995 for a new masterclass of twisted savagery, & 2025's 'Inverted World' showed the recently reinvigourated band had lost none of its passion for relentless old school brutality.
