Closed Casket Activities

Full of Hell burst forth with incredible force from the small, dagger-shaped city of Ocean City, Maryland, 15 years ago. Over five full-lengths, five collaborative full-lengths, and countless splits, EPs, singles, and noise compilations, they’ve evolved at extraordinary speed, their music becoming more complicated and technical without ever slowing down or losing its soul. Everything on a Full of Hell album feels like a blur: smears of guitar, harsh noise shaken like gravel in a bag, singer Dylan Walker’s snarl and bite carrying him into outer space or into the core of the earth. They’re coiled, interlocking, impossible to penetrate, and they move with alarming speed.

Coagulated Bliss was written and recorded shortly after the band completed When No Birds Sang, their collaborative album with Nothing. Working with the Philadelphia shoegazers gave Full of Hell new insight into the emotional and artistic power of classic pop songwriting, and to the importance of following a song where it wants to go. “That was a good experience of learning how to find what actually services a song,” Hazard  says. “Even with Roots of Earth Are Consuming My Home, even when we’ve had an extreme grindcore influence, I still wanted it to be catchy.” Walker also cites the band’s work with The Body for helping him to “recognize that there was value in pop music.” Accordingly, Coagulated Bliss features some of Full of Hell’s strongest songwriting: Gone is the frenetic flailing of Garden of Burning Apparitions and Weeping Choir; in its stead is a richer, thicker sound, one that’s considerably less ornamented—and somehow heavier than ever.

Coagulated Bliss was recorded at Developing Nations in Baltimore by Kevin Bernstein, mixed by Taylor Young at The Pit Recording Studio in Van Nuys California and mastered by Nick Townsend of Infrasonic Sound in Los Angeles California. Full of Hell is Spencer Hazard (guitar/electronics), David Bland (drums/vocals), Samuel DiGristine (bass/sax/vocals), and Dylan Walker (vocals/electronics/lyrics), with new guitarist Gabriel Solomon joining following the album’s completion. Coagulated Bliss is out April 26 via Closed Casket Activities.

Tokyo aggressors Kruelty have announced a new EP via Closed Casket Activities in Profane Usurpation. Set for a November 22nd release, the four-track presentation follows the traction earned from the band's 2023 EP, Untopia delivered via Profound Lore. 

Joining forces again with longtime friend and collaborator Taylor Young, who has worked with the band since their 2020 effort, A Dying Truth, the tandem curate a compelling mesh of punk, hardcore, grind and death metal that lands with as much power as precision. 

Track Listing:

1. Absolute Terror
2. Profane Usurpation
3. Bloodless Mankind 
4. No Fear of Judgement

Like wolves of the same pack separated at birth, outliers instinctually recognize one another. After twisting and turning through the underground on parallel trajectories, the separate paths of Full Of Hell and Nothing collide on the collaborative full-length "When No Birds Sang." At this meeting point, Full Of Hell - Dylan Walker (vocals), Spencer Hazard (guitar), Dave Bland (drums), and Sam DiGristine (bass) - and Nothing's Domenic "Nicky" Palermo (vocals, guitar) and Doyle Martin (vocals, guitar) burst out of genre confines together with a sound that's equally dangerous and dynamic. LP includes an 8.5" x 11" booklet.

Track Listing:

1. Rose Tinted World
2. Like Stars In The Firmament
3. Forever Well
4. Wild Blue
5. When No Birds Sang
6. Spend The Grace

Finally back in print, the definitive EP from death grind mutants Full Of Hell. Originally recorded in 2015 and quickly falling out of print upon it's initial release, "Amber Mote In The Black Vault" features three moldy cuts of harsh, grinding death, a brutal profile of greed, faith and violence, the most base of human weaknesses. Also included is the band's cover of "Oven" by The Melvins. 7" includes digital download.

Track Listing:

1. Halogen Bulb
2. Amber Mote
3. Barb And Sap
4. Oven
