Maine's Cruel Hand has unveiled the first new song from their Bridge Nine debut full-length Prying Eyes Available October 14th. The song, titled "Life In Shambles" will also be featured on a limited edition 7" EP cleverly titled Life In Shambles available at the end of September. You can hear the song at Bridge9.com/cruelhand or myspace.com/cruelhand. We'll warn you Bridge9.com sounds better and you're already here...so just do it.

Recorded with Jay Maas at the Massachusetts stronghold of Getaway Group and God City studios, Cruel Hand has taken their influences of early Metallica, Leeway, Cro-Mags and Madball and put it into a blender that has resulted in one of the hardest and catchiest hardcore albums in recent memory. It's metal influenced hardcore or hardcore with metal or whatever you want to call it. It's punishing. It's made for the live setting and there will be plenty of opportunities to catch Cruel Hand as 2008 ends and 2009 begins in the USA AND Europe
