Cruelty Exalted by Cruelty Exalted

Cruelty Exalted debut EP featuring members of Calcemia, Invidiosus, Amiensus, Ancestral Awakening, and Skulls.

"I think it’s the way the group blends and pairs ideas from different death metal era's together that makes the songs here feel so fresh. At the same time, the ruthless nature of the EP is coupled with an almost progressive death metal element rising up at times that makes the music here richer and more memorable as a result beyond being a blind display of warped vicious technical death metal." -Austin Weber, Metal Injection
