Mental Cruelty

Extreme Metal

Formed in Germany, Mental Cruelty have become one of the most ferocious forces in modern extreme music. Blending deathcore’s brutality with black metal’s bleak atmospheres and symphonic grandeur, they’ve forged a sound that’s both unrelenting and cinematic.

Across four albums, one EP, and a demo, the band have pushed heavy music’s limits—balancing razor-sharp precision with raw emotion. Drawing from European black metal traditions and modern deathcore intensity, their evolving sound remains instantly recognizable.

Known for their intense, immersive live shows, Mental Cruelty bring their apocalyptic vision to life on stages across Europe, North America, and beyond. Standing at the forefront of a new generation of extreme metal, they unite brutality and atmosphere like few others.
