Four new bouts of grotesque lunge ‘n’ crunch from Kruelty, who I think may somehow have gotten even heavier? 90s Scandi death metal collides head on with lumpen, protean metalcore and everything in the surrounding area is reduced to dust: trees, beasts of the land, laughable human structures, all gone. Gone! Riffs are not so much heard as felt; vocals are mined from a deep, dank place where eyeless things dwell. It’s all painful and positively fucking ghastly, but also supremely satisfying – perfect music to wrench your own jaw off to.
