The collaborative new album from grind/noise rockers Full of Hell and Toronto-based industrial artist Andrew Nolan— Scraping The Divine — delivers a sonic exploration unlike any of their prior endeavors.
Crafted throughout recording sessions spanning from 2019 to 2023, the album captures the raw energy and relentless spirit of both artists. Andrew Nolan says of the partnership: “The relationship with Full of Hell began in the very early days of the band when Dylan wrote me asking for feedback on a Full of Hell noise tape and a breakdown of The Endless Blockade’s live electronics. Over a decade later, several remixes, guest appearances, tours, session bass, and live electronics a full collaboration album is finally complete.”
Scraping The Divine also features an impressive lineup of guest appearances, including Taichi Nagura (Endon), GxCx (Contagious Orgasm, BBVGC, ex-Guilty Connector), Intensive Care, Alex Hughes (Hatred Surge, Holy Money), and prolific experimental musician Justin K. Broadrick (Godflesh, Jesu, JK Flesh). Today, they share their collaboration with the latter— the cacophonous new single “Sphere of Saturn.”
Andrew Nolan shares: “On ‘Sphere of Saturn’ voltage controlled motors on amplified springs and sheet metal beneath Dylan’s harsh vocals give way to classic Justin Broadrick discordant guitar and hazy vocals. Despite the melancholy of the song the underlying message is on the futility of pessimism.”
