Kruelty – “Profane Usurpation”
Japan’s Kruelty combine hardcore with death metal in increasingly ugly ways, and they’ve earned a rep as one of the heaviest bands on the planet. Last year, Kruelty released their unrelenting LP Untopia. Right now, they’re on a North American tour with kindred spirits Undeath, Gates To Hell, and Tribal Gaze. (Torture, who were also on that tour and who played this summer’s Sound And Fury fest after visa issued forced Kruelty to cancel, just dropped off the tour.) Now, Kruelty have announced that they’ll drop a new EP called Profane Usurpation next month, and they’ve shared its brutal title track.
