Cruel Hand was originally formed as a side project of the punk band outbreak, thus creating an opportunity for band members to play different instruments. The year 2007, marked the release of their debut album Without a Pulse, on 6131 Records. They played shows around the U.S. with Trash Talk and The Mongoloids, touring the United States three times and a full European tour. The band also signed with Bridge 9 for their second album, Prying Eyes, which was recorded at Getaway Recording Studios and God City Studios in 2008. Under their own title, the band released 7" EP in 2010, featuring a song from their third album, Lock & Key and an unreleased track. Cruel hand is greatly influenced by the Cro-Mags, early Metallica, and Madball, and are often compared to now defunct Toronto band No Warning. Lock & Key was recorded in Wakefield, MA with producer Jay Maas (Verse, Bane, Defeater) and highlights what Cruel Hand is capable of both lyrically and musically. In the words of the vocalist Chris Linkovich, " Lock& Key is definitely not a 'Prying Eyes Part 2'. It's not just a progression either, we feel like this is our defining release. We weren't scared to bring all of our influences to the table, no matter what the genre of music. We spent a lot more time with guitar sounds, a lot of layering and melody and other second guitar work. As far as lyrics, I reached my goal of working with a lot of different subject matters and also using a little bit of melody with different vocal patterns and delivery. The record is ill and we listen to it every day."
Coming straight out of Maine, Cruel hand will be earning their place at the top of the hardcore heap. Since the release of Cruel Hand’s Bridge Nine debut, Prying Eyes in 2008, the band has been a relentless touring machine and one of the tightest bands in the hardcore world. Cruel Hand has shared the stage with bands like Have Heart, Bane, Terror, Death Before Dishonor, and more, and will continue to tour the globe non-stop in support of Lock & Key. So be on the lookout and stay tuned to this band to have a time of your life.
