NEWS: Mental Cruelty get frosty…

German Blackened Deathcore heavyweights  Mental Cruelty have descend into eternal winter with new single “Frost”, a track which draws on the imagery of Fimbulvetr, the great winter that precedes Ragnarök in Norse mythology. It is another to take pride of place on their upcoming album “Echoes of a Forlorn Land” out on 23rd October via Century Media Records, having been produced, mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (Dimmu Borgir, Amon Amarth, Opeth).  This November and December, the band will bring their new album across Europe on a headline tour with Ov Sulfur, Extermination Dismemberment and more…

The band comment: single: “’Frost‘ is Mental Cruelty at our most chilling, capturing the desolation of Norse mythology‘s Fimbulwinter both lyrically and musically. Its plodding, atmospheric, and mournful tones evoke a slow trudge through ice and snow, stretching on for three long years. Think Rotting Christ meets Wardruna a song that‘s as blackened as it is coated in white snow. The mask was handmade by myself, with a little help from my partner! And you should totally text us, because there MAY be a chance to take it home.”
