"Compulsion for Cruelty" is a digital single release by US death metal act Dying Fetus. The single was released through Relapse Records in September 2022. "Compulsion for Cruelty" is the first new song in 5 years from Dying Fetus (the first new music by the band since "Wrong One to Fuck With" (2017), and it´s released in conjunction with their September 2022 North American east coast tour.

"Compulsion for Cruelty" is a one-track single and it´s a track featuring all the trademarks of Dying Fetus. Brutality, aggression, and high level musical performances. Fast blasting parts, ultra heavy breakdowns, the two growling vocalists complimenting each other, and the arpeggio sweeps. This is Dying Fetus to the bone. It´s a nicely varied track with a lot of emphasis on heavy rhythms and the impact of brutality.

The single features a well sounding production job. It´s clear, detailed, and brutal, suiting the material perfectly. Dying Fetus have no yet made any comments if "Compulsion for Cruelty" will be included on their upcoming ninth full-length studio album, but if this track is any indication of the quality and style of that album, the fans will be in for a treat. A 4 star (80%) rating is deserved.

Yeah I see now that this was a teaser single. "Compulsion for Cruelty" is indeed included on "Make Them Beg For Death".
