Cruel Bomb is a four-piece thrash metal band from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Formed in 2018, the band channels the speed, abrasion and street-level urgency of classic thrash through a modern crossover attack.
Their music is direct and physical: rapid-fire riffs, hard-edged vocals and a live presence designed to hit before the warning sirens finish.
The self-titled album, released in August 2025, marks the band's strongest statement so far and follows a run of independent EPs and singles forged across the Pennsylvania underground.
