Pennsylvania thrash metal force Cruel Bomb continues their upward trajectory with a major spotlight moment, earning a strong recommendation on Banger TV’s Overkill Reviews during their coverage of Hellripper’s Coronach . The feature places the band alongside elite company and further solidifies their growing reputation in the global metal scene.
This recognition comes on the heels of the band’s crushing self-titled full-length album, released August 15, 2025. A relentless barrage of razor-sharp riffs, punishing rhythms, and aggressive vocals, Cruel Bomb delivers a modern thrash assault rooted in the genre’s golden era while pushing forward with undeniable intensity.
Formed in 2018, Cruel Bomb has built their name the old-school way—through grit, sweat, and a no-compromise DIY ethic. Following a string of hard-hitting EPs ( Manhattan Mischief (2019), Trinity Terror (2020), and Man Made (2022)), the band’s debut full-length marks a defining moment in their evolution.
Recorded at Novro Studios, the album captures the raw energy and precision that fans have come to expect. Drawing influence from legends like Slayer, Anthrax, Metallica, and Exodus, while channeling the modern aggression of Power Trip and Hatebreed, Cruel Bomb hits with both nostalgia and fresh urgency.
The album’s visual punch is delivered by legendary artist Ed Repka, whose iconic work with Megadeth, Death, and Municipal Waste adds another layer of credibility and impact to the release.
Known for their ferocious live performances, Cruel Bomb has already shared stages with some of the scene’s heaviest hitters, building a reputation as one of the East Coast’s most punishing acts. With continued recognition from platforms like Banger TV, the band is proving they’re not just part of the underground—they’re leading the charge.
One thing’s clear: this bomb isn’t just dropping—it’s detonating worldwide.

“We soaked up all of this great music and that song has bits of all of that – that open-stringed riff that Sepultura, Machine Head and Slipknot were famous for”: How a group of Florida teenagers wrote the anthem that gave mid-2000s metal a shot in the arm
Michigan’s MY OWN WILL has announced the release of their newest EP, Misery. The EP promises to clutch throats and incite pits with four overly-aggressive tracks of metal-fueled hardcore.
The band has picked the EP’s title track for the lead single. Vocalist Dave Keoppen comments on the song, “‘Misery’ was the first demo we recorded for the EP and was initially called ‘Highway Homicide.’ It is a fast, blistering track that we really feel sets the tone for the EP. Sonically, it is unlike anything we feel we have done before. I really tried to push my vocal ability on this one and the dudes wrote a heavy, fast, interesting ass beater. It’s fast at times, slow at times, and maintain a constant auditory onslaught throughout.”
Misery is due out on June 4th, through Bleeding Art Collective in partnership with Blood Blast Distribution. Pre-save the EP at: myownwill.bfan.link/misery-ep.
