The Profile

English death metal band formed in 1988, known for early classics like To the Gory End and Death Shall Rise (with James Murphy on lead guitar), later exploring groove-leaning territory on Black Faith and returning with albums such as Spirit in Flames and Shadow Gripped.

James Murphy played guitar on Death Shall Rise; Cancer are frequently cited alongside early-90s death/thrash acts and have reformed multiple times.

Reviews highlight Cancer’s English death/thrash roots, with strong praise for the riff-driven Death Shall Rise (featuring James Murphy). Black Faith is framed as a 1995 turn toward groove/industrial-leaning thrash with mixed reception. Another review covers a punk-rock EP titled The Weight Of The World under the Cancer name.
