'Echoes of a Forlorn Land' is the highly anticipated new album from one of the most exciting names in modern extreme metal, Mental Cruelty. The band presents a bold evolution of their signature style, seamlessly blending Blackened Death Metal, Black Metal, Folk and Power Metal into an unmistakably unique sound. Produced, mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth, Kreator, Amon Amarth, Opeth, Arch Enemy). Mental Cruelty have become an internationally recognised modern extreme metal band, with a rapidly growing global fanbase across Europe and North America. 'Echoes of a Forlorn Land' features the band's most ambitious songwriting to date, combining crushing heaviness with cinematic atmosphere, epic melodies and technical precision.
