Cruel Force are a band from Germany that plays a mixture of black, thrash and speed metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Dawn Of The Axe" which will be released in September by Shadow Kingdom Records.
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the album while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic yet old school style and the riffing also brings in elements of thrash and speed metal.
Most of t he music is very heavily rooted in t he 80's era while the vocals bring in more of a first wave black emtal style. Back up shouts can also be heard at times along with the riffs also bringing in a good amount of melody along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a lot of blast beats as well as one song also adding in a brief use of acoustic guitars, some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
Cruel Force plays a musical style that goes back to the 80's era of black, thrash and speed metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover Satanism, occultism, Death and Darkness themes.
In my opinion Cruel Force are a very great sounding mixture of black, thrash and speed metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "At The Dawn Of The Axe" "Devil's Dungeon" "Across The Styx" and "Realm of Sands". 8 out of 10.
