The German deathcore/black metal band Mental Cruelty is hitting Swedish soil this summer for a performance at Broken Summer!
Founded in 2016, the band has risen from Europe's stages to North America and back again with their powerful and uncompromising performances. With four albums under their belt, they’ve carved out an essential place on the international metal scene.
Their album A Hill To Die Upon (2019) has become an iconic milestone in the genre. But Mental Cruelty didn’t stop there. In 2022, they welcomed their new frontman, Lukas Nicolai, who has brought the band into a new era with his demonic and raw vocal performances.
With their latest album, ZWIELICHT (2023), the band has taken their sound to new heights. The album merges the best of deathcore and black metal into a powerful and emotional mix of epic riffs, brutal breakdowns, and grand orchestral arrangements. It’s a forceful tribute to both their roots and their future ambitions.
Mental Cruelty is not just a band that creates unforgettable music – their live performances are renowned for delivering uncompromising explosions of energy, precision, and brutality. With a strong presence on social media and in the metal world, they have solidified their place in the German metal scene and are a growing force on the global stage.
The band has released new music in 2024, and their upward trajectory shows no signs of slowing down. On June 26, we’ll see them live at Broken Summer!
