Six-time Juno-nominated Canadian hardcore punk heavyweights Cancer Bats have announced that their legendary alter egos, Bat Sabbath, will release Bat Sabbath - Masters Of Duality, a live off-the-floor EP and accompanying video on August 18, 2023 through Bat Skulls Records in partnership with New Damage Records.
Recorded and filmed at Private Ear Studios in Winnipeg, Manitoba with John Paul Peters as engineer and Jim Agapito as director, the five track offering features all three Bats - Liam Cormier, Mike Peters and Jaye Schwarzer (on both bass and guitar) - paying homage to the metal pioneers, Black Sabbath. Slamming through some of their favourite Sabbath classics, the EP / video features covers of “Children Of The Grave”, “Iron Man”, “Into The Void”, “N.I.B” and the iconic Black Sabbath track, “War Pigs”.
