Biografie

MENTAL CRUELTY has become standard-bearers for the sound of European extreme metal. Throughout four releases, beginning with 2016’s Pereat Mundus EP, the German quintet has woven together a violent tapestry of sounds informed by Black Metal, Death Metal, Deathcore, and  a  madness of their very own. With 2021’s landmark LP, A Hill To Die Upon (Unique Leader), MENTAL CRUELTY set a new standard for not merely themselves, but the genre as a whole. Said No Clean Singing: “The production is huge; the symphonic sound grand and provide much of the melodic work as the vocal work between their main guy and the rest of the band is intense and the music just moves from one bludgeoning hammer to another.”

Armed with new vocalist Lukas Nicolai, Mental Cruelty usher in a new epoch of unlight and grim determination that's at the heart of their upcoming album - which will be announced soon. Mental Cruelty's reign of darkness is just getting started...

Rising from the ashes of personal and professional chaos, MENTAL CRUELTY (rounded out by guitarists Nahuel Lozano and Marvin Kessler, bassist Viktor Dick and drummer Danny Straßer) spent the first half of 2021 seeking out a voice to continue to cement them an as uncompromising force in the German metal scene. After locking in Lukas Nicolai, they’ve reemerged bloodied but unbowed, ready to continue spreading themselves into an international force. Zwielicht  is coming. MENTAL CRUELTY’s reign of darkness is just getting started.
