Maine hardcore five-piece Cruel Hand are streaming their new album "Lock & Key" on their myspace.


The whole album will stream on their myspace page for a week before its release on July 27. Alternative Press has said of the album that it is “...some seriously intense hardcore, mostly characterized by blistering speed and ferociously heavy breakdowns.” According to AMP magazine it is the "best thing the band has created thus far".


The album is available for pre-order on the Bridge Nine webstore here.
