Kruelty

Kruelty are a Japanese beatdown hardcore band from Tokyo, known for their incredibly heavy and punishing sound. Formed in 2017, they quickly gained notoriety in the hardcore scene for their brutal breakdowns, guttural vocals, and dark, often unsettling lyrical themes. They've released a string of EPs and albums, including the highly acclaimed "A Dying Truth," and have toured extensively throughout Asia and beyond, sharing stages with prominent bands in the genre.

Influenced by bands like Nasty and Dying Fetus, Kruelty takes the intensity of beatdown hardcore to another level. Their music is not for the faint of heart, but for those who crave extreme heaviness and aggressive energy, Kruelty delivers in spades. They've become a leading force in the modern beatdown scene, pushing the boundaries of the genre and consistently leaving audiences battered and bruised, but wanting more.
