History & Biography
The crossover band came together in 2017. After an initial demo, the band followed it up with another called Phøbia. Counterfeit Killers Syndicate was a split release for Kruelty, Universe Last A Ward and Mirrors in 2018. Entrevista Con Los 3 Asesinos! was a Kruelty, Anal Volcano and Geropetoro split the year after as was The Beginning Of The End with Moment Of Truth. A demo – again featuring a samurai on the cover – was called Introduction To… in 2020. This lead to the band’s full-length. Immortal Nightmare was an EP in the same year. This was out through the band’s own Dead Sky Recording. Japan-based Kruelty released a 2021 single called Closer To Death. It was also a part of a One Scene Unite Vol. 1 compilation due through From Within Records. Kruelty Promo 2021 was also released.
