Negatives

Spawned in the lethargic backwoods of the pine tree state, Portland, Maine's Cruel Hand play an eclectic blend of styles that embodies anything but the serenity of their surroundings. Formed in 2006, Cruel Hand's sound is equal parts New York Hardcore and West Coast Thrash, all with a twist of their own. With eight years of heavy touring and three LPs under their belt, the new decade will see Cruel Hand continue to mature and live up to their hard earned road reputation.
