Mental Cruelty is one of the most uncompromising bands in modern deathcore. The German band from Karlsruhe is known for a devastating mix of brutal riffs, blast beats, and dark symphonic elements, creating an intense and ominous sound.
Since their formation in 2014, Mental Cruelty has rapidly evolved from raw, gruelling deathcore to a more layered and bombastic style in which black metal influences and orchestral passages play an increasingly prominent role. It is precisely this combination that makes the band so recognizable: relentlessly heavy, yet simultaneously atmospheric and cinematic. Live, Mental Cruelty guarantees an devastating set full of energy, chaos, and technical precision.
The support acts are not to be underestimated either. Ov Sulfur delivers a devastating mix of modern deathcore with a touch of black metal, razor-sharp riffs, and rock-solid hooks. Extermination Dismemberment, in turn, presents brutal, mercilessly heavy death metal. Expect heavy riffs, raw vocals, and a sound that leaves no room to breathe. Highly recommended for fans of heavier stuff like Sanguisugabogg, 200 Stab Wounds, Fulci, and Dying Fetus.
