Full of Hell & Merzbow

Maryland/Pennsylvanian hardcore/grind unit FULL OF HELL have been making massive waves within the hardcore/grind movement over the last several years through their healthy repertoire of EPs, splits, tape releases, and of course their previous two full-length albums released on A389. The band who constantly tour like crazy and play to packed houses pretty much consistently and are known to put on one of the most intense live shows in heavy music today. With their latest full-length release, “Full Of Hell & Merzbow”, FULL OF HELL have easily delivered their most intense, punishing and obliterating release to date on their Profound Lore Records debut. By enlisting the services from none other than legendary master of noise Masami Akita (aka MERZBOW) for this new album to provide the extra layers of noise and depth to the already chaotic and brutal sound picture, “Full Of Hell & Merzbow” will serve its purpose as one of the most formidable artistic statements in extreme music this year. As expected, look for FULL OF HELL to do endless touring surrounding this pillar release. Exclusive to the CD edition only, will be included a bonus disc entitled “Sister Faun”, a five-song noise piece which is an extension of MERZBOW’s work with FULL OF HELL.

Full of Hell & Merzbow is a collaboration between Maryland grindcore band Full of Hell and Japanese noise legend Merzbow. Combining noise and metal is a worthwhile pursuit, giving groups the chance to synthesize noise’s freer destruction with metal’s more structured attack.

On this basis, there’s a case to be made for Merzbow producing all grindcore albums ever.
