Six-time Juno-nominated Canadian hardcore punk heavyweights Cancer Bats are thrilled to announce 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, 2023th 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.
