CANCERBERO (Chile) signed to Memento Mori!!!

In our endless quest to push and support current underground acts that perpetuate the odor of vintage Death Metal, we´re extremely thrilled to announce a new signing: CANCERBERO, from Chile. CANCERBERO was formed by vocalist/bassist Peter in the city of Concepción in 1987. The band split in 1994 due to musical differences after releasing two demos ("Guardian of Hell" in 1988 and "Perpetual Agony" in 1991). Both demos received worldwide praise from underground bangers and fanzines, and the band got to play with some the best Death Metal bands in Chile, such as Atomic Aggressor, Death Yell and Torturer. The band was reformed in 2001 and regurgitated a number of minor releases to add up to the already cult band´s legacy and status. In 2010 a new, unholy era began for the band, introducing a renovated lineup and a rawer, darker and more morbid approach to the band´s totally old school based Death Metal, manifested in all its impious glory in the band´s debut 2012 album, "At the Portal of Evoked Blasphemies", as well as the 2013 "Malevolence" EP. Over the next years, the band made extensive tours across Chile, spreading their ancient brand of malevolent and loathsome Metal of Death all around, and satisfying the thirst for evil music of old and new fans alike. In 2018, Peter was forced to recruit flesh blood after the departure of all other band members, and L. Grave (drums), Agonizer (guitar) and Uther (guitar) joined the ranks of CANCERBERO. With this fresh and dedicated lineup, the band conceived a split EP w/ Morbosatan, and the sophomore 2019 album, "Reconquering the Throne of Death", an aptly titled masterpice of olden, thrashy Metal of Death that took the underground scene by the storm. As of April 2020, the band´s already working on new songs for their third album, an album that will most definitely become yet another lesson in devilish and archaic Death Metal the way it was meant to be in the 80´s, not just musically, but also in essence, spirit and attitude. FFO: Morbid Angel, Possessed, Mortem, Sadistic Intent, Asphyx, Celtic Frost, Mantas/Death, Messiah, Pentacle... Memento Mori will unleash the CD version of their 3rd full-length album in 2021. Further details to follow in the coming months. Meanwhile, make sure to give them a like on Facebook and listen to their previous output (links below).
