Full Of Hell are a busy bunch, involved in a multitude of other projects. Guitarist Spencer Hazard plays in sludge band Eye Flys, while Dylan regularly collaborates with The Body and Lingua Ignota. Drummer David Bland and bassist Sam DiGristine also have their own grindcore band named Jarhead Fertilizer. The creative freedom that these projects allow means that when they reunite to make a new record there’s plenty of influence to pull from and every release has benefitted from a collective desire to push boundaries and build upon an already established sound.
Garden Of Burning Apparitions is the ideal mixture of hardcore, noise, death metal and grind. Dylan’s vocals dictate much of the rhythm of every song, while the guitars bend and crunch to adapt; a catchy noise rock riff one minute, a hypnotic, feedback laden dirge the next. The inclusion of bass clarinet from multi-instrumentalist Shoshana Rosenberg adds an interesting twist, complemented by Sam’s saxophone.
