Full of Hell and Nothing have announced a collaborative album, When No Birds Sang, due December 1 via Closed Casket Activities (pre-order). The two bands wrote the album together in-person, and made it int the studio together with producer Will Putney. “I was super happy to be in a room and not just throwing shit back and forth online,” says Nothing’s Nicky Palermo.
“Both Full of Hell and Nothing deal with the same genre-phobia,” Nicky continues. “We’ve been called any style you can think of, but we’re both simply intent on making soul crushers.” Full of Hell’s Dylan Walker agrees: “We’re beyond limiting ourselves to a genre. There aren’t any rules, but there’s clearly an identity. No matter what Nothing does, I can tell it’s them. We’re meeting in the middle where it’s lush and beautiful, but also sad and ugly if you look closely at it. Out of mutual respect, we just decided to go for it.”
“It’s an emotional record,” Dylan adds. “Once we decided on the concept, we followed a similar approach. We’re bringing you to this edge of an empty void.”
Dylan’s description should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect from lead single “Spend The Grace,” which is all of those adjectives Dylan used at once, and just a really intense, immersive experience. Listen and watch the video (an Everything Is Stories film, written and directed by Mike Martinez and Tyler Wray) below.
