Additional notes
Cancer's early material was pure death metal, then they progressed to a thrashier sound on "The Sins of Mankind" and finally an attempt at going mainstream on "Black Faith". Due to unconcern of fans they split-up.
They reformed in 2003 and released one EP and a full-length, but shortly after that split-up again.
