about
The song that became "The Great Emptiness" was nearly complete before Alex's passing, yet it remained unfinished when we performed it with him on 12/8/21, just days before our dear friend left us. Devastated, we were unsure how to continue musically. One year later, we performed it at our last show as a memorial, certain it would be our final night as Bereft. However, after much discussion, we realized we absolutely needed to record and release this last song to commemorate our brother.
Completing this song was a beautiful and cathartic experience. It marks the end of our last chapter as a band and serves as a desperate, heartbroken eulogy to one of the most beautiful people this earth has ever known. There isn't a word suitable for the love and life contained within him.
"The Great Emptiness" is available now for streaming and download on our Bandcamp. Vinyl preorders will be coming in early 2024.
Our deepest gratitude goes out to Nick Linden, Michael Kadnar, Dustin Sisson, Steve Joh, and all our loved ones for your unwavering support.
Always Forever, Alex Linden.

I put you guys on shuffle and every track hits so hard. This album especially has a sick unstoppable groove. I need to see you all live this year. I bought Cruelty vinyl. I'm really digging the music, the vocals, catchy guitar work, and an ominous atmosphere as the dark clouds swallow me into madness.

Primitive doom that has the beauty of a freak show. It sounds filthy, unrelentingly dark and savage and yet the music has an posive energy that enthralls! Quite a feat. This Belgian musician never disappoints the fan of all things heavy and smart.

More gnashing, blackened sludge goodness from the French metal band, texturally filthy and forceful throughout.
