Cruelty's Heart

Cruelty's Heart is a Danish/English Pagan Black Metal band formed in 2009. The band was formed by Bloodletter, Jens Forsberg-Olesen, Mikael Dupont, and Mads Holm Jensen. They are signed to the record company UKEM Records. The band's lyrical themes are heavily influenced by English Germanic Tales, and Anglo-Saxon culture/history.[1] Their first demo, "Die for Woden" was released in 2011. In 2012, the band released their first Full-Length album titled "Rex Anglorvm Saxonvm", mainly containing lyrics on Germanic history and Saxon culture of England. In 2014, Cruelty's Heart did a split with the English Black Metal band, Frostwork.[1]

Cruelty's Heart's imagery and lyrics contain clear influences of Anglo-Saxon history and the Germanic Paganism of England, also having songs relating to Saxon poems such as Beowulf. Their song "Steadfast" is a cover of a song by the English Pagan Metal band, Forefather, another Anglo-Saxon-themed group.[2]
