With Dark Side Of The Cage, Cruel Hand return with a powerful and focused release that further refines their signature blend of hardcore, thrash and metal. Known for their aggressive sound and crossover appeal, the Portland, Maine-based band continues to push boundaries while staying rooted in hardcore tradition.

This one-sided 12" features four brand-new tracks, delivering a compact yet intense listening experience. Cruel Hand combine the raw energy of New York hardcore with the precision and weight of metal and thrash influences, resulting in a sound that feels both classic and modern.

Originally inspired by bands like Cro-Mags, early Metallica and Madball, the band has evolved into a heavier and more dynamic force. On this release, elements reminiscent of Machine Head, Pantera and Biohazard come through, adding groove, heaviness and a broader sonic palette.

Produced by Zeuss, known for his work with Hatebreed, Terror and Rob Zombie, the EP benefits from a powerful and polished production that enhances its aggression without sacrificing authenticity. Every track hits hard, combining crushing riffs, driving rhythms and intense vocals.

Pressed on eye-catching clear/neon green splatter vinyl and limited to just 350 copies, this one-sided 12" is a highly collectible release. Dark Side Of The Cage proves once again that Cruel Hand remain a vital force in modern hardcore.
