Accursed Womb's upcoming single *"Strength of Cruelty"*, featured on their split with Japan’s dismal death metal outfit Anatomia, is a blistering assault on the senses. Drawing influence from legendary acts like Morbid Angel, Incantation, Goatlord, Deicide, Inverloch, and Spectral Voice, the track encapsulates the primal force of death metal, driven by raw brutality and chaos.
The song delves into themes of malevolence and visceral violence, with lyrics evoking vivid images of torment: "Glistening malevolent, blisters in the skies, tearing up your thighs, tasting with forked tongue..." The chilling visuals and relentless aggression mirror the sonic intensity, built through relentless riffs, guttural growls, and doom-laden atmosphere. The sound feels drenched in filth and darkness, as the song marches through passages of slow, crushing breakdowns and faster, chaotic sections, echoing the strength and cruelty the lyrics conjure.
Expect nothing less than a track soaked in raw emotion, from vengeance-driven fury to macabre reflections on mortality. *"Strength of Cruelty"* brings together the signature sounds of death metal’s most iconic acts, delivered with the unrelenting ferocity Accursed Womb is known for.

The platonic ideal of a modern deathmetal ep. Bass booms and rumbles like a motherf*cker and the drums lay waste to civilizations.
Fantastic guitar tone, threatening in the tremolos, crushing in the breaks. Generally confident and agile.
Outstanding outing by Malignant Altar. Five stars. Ghuughra
