The exhilarating new collaboration between grind/noise rock act Full of Hell and Toronto-based industrial artist Andrew Nolan— Scraping The Divine — promises a sonic exploration unlike any of their prior endeavors.
Audio was crafted during multiple recording sessions from 2019 to 2023, capturing the energy and spirit of both artists. Full of Hell recorded with renowned producers Seth Manchester of Machines with Magnets and Kevin Bernsten of Developing Nations, with tracking, mixing and production led by Andrew Nolan. The finishing touch comes courtesy of mastering engineer Nick Townsend.
This ambitious project features an impressive lineup of guest appearances, including Taichi Nagura (Endon), GxCx (Contagious Orgasm, BBVGC, ex-Guilty Connector), Justin K Broadrick (Godflesh, Jesu, JK Flesh), Intensive Care, and Alex Hughes (Hatred Surge, Holy Money), further enriching its intricate soundscape.
The album’s striking artwork is illustrated by Savage Pencil, celebrated for his iconic designs for legendary acts like Swans, Sonic Youth, Big Black, and Sunn0))).
Lead single “Burdened by Solar Mass” serves as a haunting introduction to this collaboration. Dylan Walker of Full of Hell describes the track as “the first meeting point between Full of Hell and Andrew Nolan. The end product is an amalgam of mangled guitars and dub pulses and an ominous warning about our own insignificance in the universe.”
Scraping The Divine is set to push boundaries and challenge perceptions, making it a must-listen for fans of both Full of Hell and Andrew Nolan, as well as anyone seeking an immersive auditory experience.
