Cruel Force

About Cruel Force

Formed in Germany in 2008, Cruel Force established themselves as a cult name in the international underground with their early demo Into the Crypts... and subsequent full-lengths The Rise of Satanic Might (2010) and Under the Sign of the Moon (2011). Following a hiatus, the band returned with the 2023 album Dawn of the Axe, marking a shift toward a more archaic, speed metal-oriented sound reminiscent of 1980s German thrash and heavy metal. Their fourth full-length, Haneda, was released in 2026 via Shadow Kingdom Records. The band’s current lineup features Carnivore on vocals, Slaughter on guitars, Spider on bass, and GG Alex on drums, continuing their legacy of raw, high-energy metallic power.
