Full Of Hell - Garden of Burning Apparitions (Silver) LP

FULL OF HELL (Maryland/Pennsylvania, USA) - Garden of Burning Apparitions LP (2021) Metallic Silver vinyl - limited to 296 copies. FULL OF HELL return with their highly anticipated 5th full-length studio offering, "Garden Of Burning Apparitions." The new album, a genre-bending blitzkrieg of Hardcore, Grind and Death Metal, sees the band expand upon the very elements that have propelled FULL OF HELL to the forefront of Extreme Music over the last decade.

Garden of Burning Apparitions also sees the band adding new dimensions to their warp-speed hellscape. Guitarist Spencer Hazard and bassist Sam DiGristine's monstrous riffs now have an added Noise-Rock influence, while drummer Dave Bland commands the rhythm section at blazing speeds. Lyrically, the new album sees vocalist Dylan Walker exploring (anti)religion, life's impermanence and the fear that comes with knowing death is inescapable. "Industrial Messiah Complex” grinds organized religion to a pulp in under 90 seconds, while Walker contemplates the commodification of spirituality seen in America’s vast network of garish mega-churches and how these practices are at odds with true spirituality. Meanwhile, “Reeking Tunnels” rides a strident Noise-Rock riff down into the sewer. It’s a metaphor for the physical and mental space we become trapped in when we live in a perpetual state of fear and hate. Elsewhere, justifiable ochlophobia (extreme or irrational fear or dislike of crowds of people) propels the Guttural Death Metal blast of “Eroding Shell.” Lyrically, the song seeks to capture our fear of the violent, ignorant mob—a scene glimpsed far too often in this volatile era.
