Issuing one of the most important releases in heavy music last year with Coagulated Bliss, Full of Hell have quickly doubled back to deliver another powerful assertion of extreme music versatility with a new EP, Broken Sword, Rotten Shield. 

The release arrives May 16th via Closed Casket Activities and finds the band connection with producer and collaborator, Kevin Bernstein (Misery Index, Pig Destroyer), Combining Full of Hell's bruising, bulldozing mesh of powerviolence, noise and grind, the seven-track presentation emphasizes the band's dexterity as extreme music craftsmen. 

Following the release of the first single, "Knight's Oath", the band has unveiled the EP's title track as a crushing example of the pending onslaught. Vocalist Dylan Walker explained the thematic magnitude of the track calling it an, "...introduction to the theme of the EP. The dog knights represent these pure defenders against a world of darkness and the feeling of utter grief and defeat when we lose these companions. Along side that metaphor, the song also explains that in this world, all living things are rendered equal in the end, and for some that's a mighty fall."

The new EP, Broken Sword, Rotten Shield coincide with the band's North American tour with Harm’s Way, Kruelty, Jarhead Fertilizer, and Clique. A complete list of tour dates can be found below.
