The Skinny

Birthing the Giant is Cancer Bats' first full-length album. It was released on June 6, 2006, by Distort Entertainment in Canada and on September 5, 2006, by Abacus Recordings in the US.

Videos were shot for "100 Grand Canyon," "French Immersion," and "Pneumonia Hawk."

Critical reception

Exclaim! wrote that "with all the swagger of Southern rock but all the slummy goodness of New York City punk, the Cancer Bats slam through 12 impressively heavy tracks." The Skinny called the album "a pick-squealing romp of metal riffery interspersed with some slamming punk chord progressions."
