Cancerslug is a modern horror punk/deathrock band from Decatur, Alabama, founded by the singer/songwriter Alex Story in 1999. Musically, they range from short and catchy pop melodies to heavy and dark experimental works. Both of which often lyrically form a very potent form of Misanthropy, a deep hatred for all mankind. They are considered by many to be one of the most aggressive and violent live shows on earth, and have been called "the crudest, rudest, most vile band in America" by Rue Morgue Magazine. Despite their many enemies, Cancerslug has a very loyal following of fans (the Slug Cult).

There have been many line up changes since then, it's currently: Alex (vocals), Kathy (bass), Kyle (guitar), & Rocky (drums). On average they release an album every 6 months, and have given every song they've recorded away for free online. Some of their influences include Glenn Danzig, Guitar Wolf, The Cramps, The Damned, The Dwarves, & GG Allin. Much of Cancerslug's early album artwork was by Robert Bisi, and the later artwork by Rob Villareal of Ravenous Media. Cancerslug performed at Drop Dead Festival in 2003. They recently released Book of Rats and will be releasing a DVD of live footage soon.
