Grindcore band Full of Hell will deliver a brand-new EP next month.
Revealed yesterday, Broken Sword, Rotten Shield will be released on May 16 via Closed Casket Activities. The EP’s lead single “Knight’s Oath” comes with a music video co-directed by Sam DiGristine & Patrick Costello, which can be seen here. Full of Hell vocalist Dylan walker said this about the song:
“Absolute dedication to your charge, be it a person you love or held tenet, and the ignominy that comes with a sudden defeat. That idea acts as a metaphor for the grief you feel when you lose an animal companion. It feels pointless, cruel, and void in the moment. The video channels those ideas and takes the viewer on a quest with our noble dog knight and his cohorts as they quest for glory and wealth in the face of darkness."
Pre-orders for the EP can be made here. Full of Hell will be supporting the forthcoming EP with a slew of festival appearances and a co-headlining tour with Harm’s Way in the following weeks. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here.
