This devastating amalgamation becomes the blueprint of brutality and slam the band unleashes. With KRUELTY, you will hear the ultimate convergence of some of the most punishing death metal riffs and the most mind-blowing breakdowns influenced by Japanese and \u201890s East Coast hardcore bands.\n \n2020 saw the release of KRUELTY\u2019s debut album A Dying Truth and revealed itself as one of the heaviest albums that year. With their second LP, Untopia, the band will release an album even more massive in scope and ultimately heavier than their debut. The bulldozing seven-song record was produced by Taylor Young at The Pit Studios (Nails, Xibalba, Section H8) while the band was touring in the US earlier this year, mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Obituary, Terminal Nation, Mindforce), and features artwork by Norwegian artist Sindre Foss Skancke.\n \nEndure KRUELTY\u2019s entire Untopia LP now at YouTube RIGHT HERE.\n \nUntopia will see release through Profound Lore tomorrow, Friday, March 17th, on LP, CD, CS, and digital formats. Find preorders HERE and watch the \u201cHarder Than Before\u201d video HERE.\n \nKRUELTY continues touring across the planet in support of Untopia. Having just completed tours of New Zealand and Australia, KRUELTY will now crush through their home country this week for ten dates on the Untopia Japan Tour, running from March 17th through April 2nd. Less than two weeks later, the band heads to Europe for the Untopia European Domination Tour 2023, running from April 12th to May 7th with special guests Gates To Hell, and Splitknuckle on select dates.

KRUELTY make the heaviest version of hardcore imaginable, pulling influence from beatdown and death metal to make something truly disgusting.\" \u2013 Stereogum\n \n\"...more than the mix of genres, it's the relentless fury that catches you first. Brain-numbing slam-by-numbers or mere circle pit-fodder breakdown sausage factory, it certainly ain't.\" \u2013 Decibel Magazine\n \n\"Death metal and hardcore are romantically entwined these days, but KRUELTY do things a little differently with their take on that common crossover... It's basically full-on metal, with just a teensy bit of hardcore bite.\" \u2013 Revolver Magazine\n \n\"KRUELTY treats their stylistic combination like a contest to see how much punishment they can derive from each genre they take from. Like the legends of metallic hardcore, they thoughtfully take elements from both ends of the spectrum that best help them serve up a healthy dose of adrenaline. To that effect, these guys continue to set a standard for the Japanese underground with Untopia.\" \u2013 Metal Injection<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stream KRUELTY\u2019s Untopia HERE.
