Full of Hell is an American grindcore band from Ocean City ( Maryland ) and Pennsylvania , which was founded in 2009.

history

The band was formed in 2009 by Dylan Walker (vocals, electronics), Spencer Hazard (electric guitar), David Bland (drums) and Brandon Brown (vocals, bass). The following year, the EP The Inevitable Fear of Existence was released via Get This Right Records , which was followed by a split release with the German band Goldust in early 2011 . This was followed by the EP FOH Noise , the first part of a series. In August 2011, the debut album Roots of Earth Are Consuming My Home was released via A389 Recordings . After further parts from FOH Noise and split releases with Code Orange Kids , The Guilt Øf… and Calm the Fire, the second album Rudiments of Mutilation followed in 2013 via A389 Recordings . The following year a collaboration album with Merzbow was released on Profound Lore Records . In 2015, Brown left the group and was replaced by Sam DiGristine. At the beginning of 2016 the EP Amber Mote in the Black Vault , which includes a cover version of The Melvins song Oven , was released via Bad Teeth Recordings . In March of that year, a collaboration album with The Body was released via Neurot Recordings called One Day You Will Ache Like I Ache . In February 2017, Profound Lore Records announced the release of the next album, which happened in May under the name Trumpeting Ecstacy . Later that year, Ascending a Mountain of Heavy Light , a second collaboration album with The Body, followed through Thrill Jockey Records .

According to Allmusic's Paul Simpson, the band's music ranges from fast grindcore to brutal sludge . Above all, The Inevitable Fear of Existence leans heavily on Sludge, while the EP FOH Noise is more experimental.

Christopher Luedtke from metalinjection.net assigned Rudiments of Mutilation to Grindcore, which would evoke feelings such as anger, hatred and suffering. In addition, the music is characterized by elements from Hardcore Punk , Metal , Sludge, Drone Doom and Noise as well as by blast beats , pressing riffs and heavy bass and drum sounds.

Philipp Walter from musikreviews.de stated in his review of the first collaboration album with Merzbow that the power violence from Full of Hell and the noise songs from Merzbow were mixed up. The result is crazy "knocking" that you have to listen carefully to hear Merzbow's contribution. What is striking about previous releases is that the noise wall of the songs is now thicker.

Christina Wenig from Metal Hammer wrote in her review of Trumpeting Ecstasy that the band continues to try to push the boundaries of hardcore punk, death metal and grindcore. In addition to a few samples and sludge passages, the group made use of “ blast beats , squeaks , grunts , screeches and technical riffing”. In the songs, the group is usually quick and aggressive. Simon Dümpelmann from Rock Hard also reviewed the album and stated that there was no longer, as in the past, "straight deathgrind with a hardcore edge". Experiments such as the noise songs of the time with Merzbow have also disappeared, with the exception of one song with “ industrial noise and girl singing”. Overall, the songs are aggressive and fast, but the group also occasionally incorporate Doom Metal passages. Ollie Fröhlich from Ox-Fanzine assigned the album to Grindcore, whereby the noise component had been reduced. The vocals consist of the pitched Screams Walkers and the deep growls of Browns. In the title song "elven-like arias" would alternate with harsh noise attacks.
