Today, cult heavy metallers Cruel Force reveal the new video “Devil’s Dungeon.” The track is the third to be revealed from the band’s highly anticipated third album, Dawn of the Axe, set for international release on September 22nd via Shadow Kingdom Records.
Truest of the true, Germany’s Cruel Force burst onto the scene in 2008 with the Into the Crypts… demo. While many have tried to emulate the ancient German (black)thrash sound, Cruel Force brimmed with an authenticity that could not be denied, as well as songwriting that added to that noble tradition rather than lazily picking at its corpse. Their two successive albums, 2010’s The Rise of Satanic Might and 2011’s Under the Sign of the Moon, made Cruel Force a certifiably CULT name in the international metal underground. Sadly, the band fell into a hiatus following that second album, but returned reinvigorated with the comeback 7″ EP Across the Styx in 2022 and are ready to make up for lost time with their imminent third album for new label home Shadow Kingdom.
In the meantime, see & hear the brand-new video “Devils’ Dungeon” video here:
