Blowout Presents

- Cruelty -

Taking the aggressive and frenetic edge of late 90s/early 00s metalcore combined with the dynamism of post-hardcore, Cruelty are an intense proposition, hell bent on combatting the often insular and circumscribed heavy music scene.

Formed in 2017 and with just a demo tape released, Cruelty began to play shows across the UK leading to a reputation for a dynamic style often neglected in the UK hardcore scene. The band quickly became a regular at shows up and down the country due to the variety in their sound in comparison to so many off-the-peg hardcore/metalcore bands.

After the release of their 2023 album 'Salvation', the band now gear up for an extensive tour across the UK, where they'll be bringing Liverpool's 'Blade' with them.

First headliner that Cruelty have had in Bristol in a long time so pack it out!
