Mental Cruelty

About

Mental Cruelty isn't just deathcore; it's a sonic assault on the senses. Hailing from Germany, this brutal force has carved a distinct niche in the extreme metal landscape by blending the relentless intensity of deathcore with elements of slam and symphonic black metal, creating a sound that's both devastating and surprisingly grandiose. Since their formation, Mental Cruelty has relentlessly toured and released a series of increasingly ambitious albums, including "Perpetual Suffering," "Inferis," and "A Hill To Die Upon," showcasing their evolution from straightforward deathcore to a more complex and layered sound. Their breakthrough arguably came with the release of "A Hill To Die Upon," which solidified their position as a leading force in the European deathcore scene. Known for their guttural vocals, crushing breakdowns, and often theatrical stage presence, Mental Cruelty has cultivated a devoted fanbase drawn to their unapologetically dark and aggressive aesthetic. They've shared stages with notable acts within the genre and continue to push boundaries, expanding their musical palette and incorporating increasingly ambitious arrangements into their brutal core. Currently, the band continues to tour extensively and are rumored to be working on new material, promising to further redefine the limits of modern deathcore.
