Crossripper by Bastard Cröss

Terror stalks the streets of Philadelphia and its name is BASTARD CRÖSS! Fueled by bloodlust and blasphemy, this infernal four-piece has been crafting music to corrupt souls since 2021. Across the band's first series of splits and EPs they made black metal, thrash, and crust collide in the most satisfyingly obscene ways, leaving listeners frenzied and desperate for more. But now the hour has finally arrived for Bastard Cröss to satiate the rabid fans and commit their greatest sin to date. CROSSRIPPER is the band's first full-length album, featuring darkness, debauchery, and devilry all turned up to eleven! It's a whirlwind of vulgarity and horror with a barrage of lightning fast riffs, otherworldly screams, and unrestrained rhythms. But this isn't all raw grit -- there are a ton of enchanting, sinister melodies for you to revel in as the sound seduces your spirit and drags you into the wretched world of Bastard Cröss!

Enjoy it while you can, because by the time you start begging for mercy, you've already been damned!
