Cruentus formed in
Sweden in the late 2000s, slowly carving their place in the underground with a
style that blends death, black, and thrash metal into one savage strike. Their
sound nods to the chaos of early Swedish death metal while embracing the
frostbitten aggression of the blackened side. The duo of Martin Öhman and Petter
Bocian handle everything themselves, from the riffs to the roars, and
that self-contained fury defines their identity.
“End Without End” runs
on pure attack. The guitars churn with a classic Scandinavian sharpness,
pushing forward through a storm of blasting drums and cold, cutting aggression.
The production by Lawrence Mackrory captures
their raw intensity but keeps everything punchy enough to hit hard. There’s no
gloss or unnecessary layering, just relentless drive and precision.
Cruentus
sounds completely locked in, delivering
ten tracks that never lose their impact. “End Without End” doesn’t chase trends
or experiment for its own sake; it simply burns with focused aggression and a
strong sense of identity. It’s the kind of album that lives on instinct, played
with intensity and conviction, and built for those who want their metal
unfiltered and fierce.
Score: 7.5
