NEWS: Mental Cruelty announce “Zwielicht”!

It seems that German Deathcore brutes Mental Cruelty have undergone something of a style shift and embraced the dark side for their upcoming 23rd June via Century Media releasing album “Zwielicht“. Produced, Mixed and Mastered by Josh Schroeder (Lorna Shore, Ov Sulfur, King 810) the album, which follows the impressive “A Hill To Die Upon” has spawned a Blackened Deathcore anthem in “Forgotten Kings”…

Mental Cruelty comments on the new single: “This song is inspired by the Greek Prometheus saga or comparatively the story of the Lost Sinner from Dark Souls. It tells the story of a man that is shackled to a mountain summit. He stands for the feeling of being trapped and isolated and feeling guilty about it. The evil chord progressions combined with huge orchestral ornaments and fast-paced blast beats will give you a feeling of listening to almost old-schoolish Black Metal with a modern twist.”

They add on the album release: “Let us embrace a new era of darkness by bringing the “black” into blackened heavy music. Join us on the way down to infernal gates of hell to be rebirthed back to life. The album will contain the most mind-bending variety of different heavy musical influences and sounds. Epic symphonic orchestras accompanied by slam breakdowns; this will have it all. Inspired from metaphors written by nature, death, and inner demons. We can’t put into words the level of excitement we feel by announcing this album to you. We hope you feel the same way! Thank you for being with us and stay tuned for upcoming news!”
