Cancer Bats have dropped a new version of Friday Night.
Showcasing catchy, melodic vocal choruses that contrast well against rampant, loud riffing, the re-recorded track features Amy Walpole of Witch Fever. It arrives in celebration of the vinyl release announcement of their seventh studio LP, due out on October 28 through their own label Bat Skull Records in partnership with New Damage Records in Canada.
Head below to view the powerful video, directed by and starring social media star Haley Robinson. Vocalist Liam Cormier said:
"New PJB Vinyl! IT’S FINALLY HERE! I know the world has been asking about vinyl so we’re happy to say that the WORLD will have vinyl in their hands this fall. We wanted to hold off on taking orders until we knew from the pressing plant that they had all our colours in stock and were starting to melt the gooey goodness for your listening pleasure. PLUS we knew we had time to make sure the tunes were sounding THICK! These might be the beefiest vinyl pressings in our Bats history!! So thank you for being patient and we can’t wait for everyone’s ears to be BLASTED!!!"
Commenting on the revamp of Friday Night, he added: "I had been listening to Witch Fever a bunch and getting excited for the tour, I just thought Amy's voice would fit the song perfectly and really kick it up a notch and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. It went from being one of my fav tracks on the album, to my now MUST PLAY song of tour!"
