FULL OF HELL - INTERVIEW
29.06.2017
FULL OF NOISE. FULL OF GRIND. FULL OF HELL.
Spencer
Hazard: We try not to have people to have too many expectations from us and just
hit them with our music. I know we have been doing a more well balanced set-list
recently with our actual songs and noise.
OEF: Please tell us more about the new album, Trumpeting Ecstasy. How was
the recording process?
Spencer Hazard: Trumpeting Ecstasy will be our 3rd proper solo LP.
Its been a few years since we've done a solo full length so I think we have
gained a better understanding of our instruments and have been able to utilize
that in our songs. We tried to inject more death metal and deathgrind in our
songs this time taking influences from bands like Human Remains,Discordance
Axis,Assuck,Crytopsy,Brutal Truth, Demilich and Gorguts, and combining it with
our love of Swans,GASP,Man is the Bastard,Napalm Death etc
We took about 4 or 5 days this time to record with Kurt Ballou at Godcity
Studios. We have been recording with Kevin Bernsten who plays in Triac at his
studio,Developing Nations, for almost 5 years now. We decided to go with Kurt
this time around because we wanted a different outside perspective and someone
who may not be as familiar with our music. Someone who can give us a little
more push and a fresh ear to our sound.
OEF: Artwork is always superb in Full Of Hell albums, and Trumpeting
Ecstasy is no exception. How do you thought of that nun with her face on fire?
Do you work with artists or is all of a band creation?
Spencer Hazard: With this record and our collaboration with Merzbow
we went with the legendary Mark McCoy. We have always been a fan of his work
whether it be with his bands Charles Bronson,Holy Molar,Das Oath or the artwork
he does for his label Youth Attack. With this record we gave him the lyrics and
gave him free reign of what we wanted with very little guidance. He came back
with the entire art concept after a few weeks and we fell in love with it
instantly.
OEF: Your music is a breath of fresh air in extreme music, combining many
genres into one powerful pack. Could you tell us, how are Full Of Hell songs
composed? What inspires you to create this oppressive and dark music?
Spencer Hazard: I will usually come up with a riff or and entire
song and we will usually go from there. It's never my intention to write dark
music, thats how I naturally write. The only thing that inspires me is to just
push ourselves and try to be creative as possible.
OEF: Thanks for the interview!
