I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that though I have no idea how to really cook much of anything, I’m a whiz at whipping up cooking metaphors for talking about albums. For example: what do you get when you add two cups East Coast grindcore, a liberal spritzing of legendary Japanoise cone ripping, and a dash of pretty cool metal record label? Why, a Full of Hell & Merzbow collaborative album on Profound Lore, of course! Haha! What a great way to introduce this album, am I right?! It’s almost like the method itself just came out of the oven and is piping hot and ready to be eaten!
On November 25, the sound soup that is Full of Hell & Merzbow will be out on Profound. It will be hot and it will be well seasoned and it will go well with certain types of garlic bread. Do not spill it on your shirt or you will catch hell from your mom later on the way to the wedding you are traveling to with your family. The difference between soup and this album, however, is that this album will no doubt be one of the most brutal things you put into your ear holes in the year of 2014. How often can you say that about soup? Almost never. If you pre-order the album, you’ll get an immediate download of two tracks from the album, “Gordian Knot” and “Blue Litmus.” The CD version also comes with a bonus five-song piece entitled “Sister Faun,” which extends the word the artists did together on the album. If this album were really food, I would invite you to order it now, but because it is an album, I will invite you rather to pre-order it, even though at most restaurants when you order food you are also kind of pre-ordering if you think about it.
If you’re in the mood to get pummeled, listen to “Gordian Knot” and be sure to check out Full of Hell on their upcoming dates listed below.
