“Japan has a long, proud history of making some of the most gut-rippingly intense punk, metal, and hardcore in existence, and the Tokyo band KRUELTY have carved out a place within that tradition. KRUELTY make the heaviest version of hardcore imaginable, pulling influence from beatdown and death metal to make something truly disgusting.” – Stereogum

“…more than the mix of genres, it’s the relentless fury that catches you first. Brain-numbing slam-by-numbers or mere circle pit-fodder breakdown sausage factory, it certainly ain’t.” – Decibel Magazine

“Death metal and hardcore are romantically entwined these days, but KRUELTY do things a little differently with their take on that common crossover… It’s basically full-on metal, with just a teensy bit of hardcore bite.” – Revolver Magazine

KRUELTY treats their stylistic combination like a contest to see how much punishment they can derive from each genre they take from. Like the legends of metallic hardcore, they thoughtfully take elements from both ends of the spectrum that best help them serve up a healthy dose of adrenaline. To that effect, these guys continue to set a standard for the Japanese underground with Untopia.” – Metal Injection
