While hardcore and the like have always valued the use of noise rarely has it ever been used in a combination of hardcore as a genre as well as the idea of noise as a genre unto itself. Noise as a genre is a very tough to pin down aesthetic in and of itself, just as hard would be to boil down what truly makes a hardcore record "good."
Since their inception Full Of Hell have managed to use a grinding style of hardcore and use the aesthetics of noise as a counterbalance to the blasting assault. Through a number of EPs, splits, noise cassettes and a sole full length prior the band have managed to boil down the essentials of the music they enjoy to make something unto itself. For every bit of Brutal Truth style grind or Eyehategod molasses thick riffs there is a bed of terrifying noise peaking its head through. The bands' love of Merzbow's legendary works have never been a secret. No moreso than before the band have truly combined their hardcore leanings with the legendary noise musicians influence.
This begins with what could serve as an intro or a song unto itself. The record opens with an oscillating loop of noise slowly building as a faint drum beat comes in and the vocals cut with a far away shriek. This all gives the listener a feeling of terror and an obvious build up towards the rest of the record. Al this happens in under 2 minutes ushering in an unrelenting record that clocks in under 20 minutes. Most bands would be quick to call this an EP given it's length but Full Of Hell gives the listener so much noise in the given space that it would put most of the current breed of hardcore to absolute shame.
