KRUELTY release bone-crushing new EP ‘Profane Usurpation’ via Closed Casket Activities
The Tokyo-based 3-piece combine technical aggression of death metal with the satisfying stomp of beatdown hardcore to provide 4 of the most downright crushing songs you’ll hear this year.
It’s an amalgam of lightning fast riffs and thunderous breakdowns that proves exactly why Japan’s heaviest export, are one of the most exciting bands in heavy music right now. Self-described “disgusting music from Tokyo, they excel at merging different elements from across the heavy music spectrum into something that’s as compelling as it is punishing. New EP highlights exactly why the band have been turning heads in hardcore and metal alike. Recorded with Taylor Young (Regional Justice Center, God’s Hate, Drain, Full Of Hell), the EP follows their 2023 album, ‘Untopia’, and dials up the intensity, adding hints of crust punk and grindcore into the stew of death metal, hardcore, and more. Band just completed a US tour supporting Undeath and a UK/EU headlining tour.
