HardLore: Spencer Hazard (Full of Hell)

An amazing insight into carving your own path in music, making art your own way and the belief in your own success.

Lore of Hell

[@_antisocial__]

That Full of hell/nothing split is one of the coolest things ever created.

[@sampuckett2476]

the opening riff is the most diabolical thing i have ever heard

[@gggallin8279]

They really are the best at creative splits right now. The one with Primitive Man also slaps

[@RaulBanuelos100]

the transition from the brutal first song to the second more shoegazy song gave me whiplash in the best way

[@jake_villanueva]

This band has been grinding for 15+ years. Love to see their success.

[@JohnEvans-xg2bp]

Ya'll, if you could do episodes with Steve from 200 Stab Wounds, Chad & Sam from Frozen Soul, and Todd from Nails, that would be incredible.

[@morgue_file]

[@ChainChomp122]

Wouldn’t be surprised if we get a Todd Jones episode around the release of their new album or EP

[@jborreggine8759]

All great picks.

[@cloverfield23666]

Count your blessings regarding Todd

[@ChainChomp122]

@@cloverfield23666 for new music or for an interview? He’s already stated that new Nails is coming, but yeah he may be a little reserved for the Hardlore format haha. I just know he has ties to the Young family obviously

[@sm8832]

roots of the earth and rudiments of mutilation changed my whole world of hardcore and the landscape in the midwest for quite awhile. It was awesome, really loved that stuff.

[@alexz9947]

Found a copy of Roots on vinyl. Thing stayyyyed spinning...until Coagulated Bliss came in the mail today 😏

“i gotta try percs dude” - Collin Young

[@Garebear21]

Some personal hardlore here. I was surprised when Spencer said he’s located in Berlin, MD. I was traveling up and down the eastern shore of VA,MD,DE and stopping nearby and out of curiosity wanted to see if they were record stores around. So I googled it and found soundstorm records. I ended up finding some rare Melvins vinyl and a noise LP by sore dream. Totally unexpected finds in a small random town on the eastern shore.. but now it makes sense. Shout out

[@putrescentvermin]

The hidden gem of MD. DC metro area is so overrated.

[@jbasti227]

Full Of Hell puts the “grind” in grindcore. I have so much respect and admiration for this band.

[@masterofnull9695]

[@bottlemanic]

Fuck yes

[@magicseandon]

Weekend Nachos cover of In the Garage goes criminally hard. Almost as hard as this episode (and my lore rn)

[@bezerah3695]

I remember being in my freshman year of high school when the roots of the earth dropped. I found that album on a bullshit blogspot blog full of links to album downloads. From the beginning I knew this band was going to be special never heard such a combination of grind, death, punk, hardcore, noise and everything else in between mixed so perfectly. The fact that this band has gotten where they are today brings tears of joy to my eyes whenever I see them doing something new. New album bangs too.

[@codyhansen7600]

yesssss my favorite band, thank y'all for listening to your fans

[@lowresbones]

Found FOH from their split with Code Orange. Both bands still finding their groove at that point but damn it had some banger riffs

[@CryptCreeper299]

Been waiting for a full of hell episode for a hot minute

[@radical8329]

Seeing this band live permanently changed me, love them forever.

[@ryandlv]

nicest coolest dude. love the pod. thanks for everything yall

[@lazarefilms9290]

For someone who seems to hate riffs (Spencer) 😆 I always go back to certain FOH tracks because of the riff

[@tylerjacobs2200]

The philosophy of not being technically proficient or knowledgeable enough to write one way so needing to make your own thing is the most underrated and important aspect of this genre of music IMO.

[@gridmane]

One of the best death metal/grind bands of our generation

[@thecheesefilledllama]

Discordance Axis I could feel coming aha

[@channel_panel193]

I was thinking Agathocles

[@putrescentvermin]

Also Human Remains and Cephalic Carnage.

[@forgot2poop]

big ups to grinders with construction site names like spencer hazard and john caution, shits unironically tight af

[@adriandoom7863]

I’m so glad that someone else thought of this too lmao

[@Terror0619]

Spencer summed up me as a guitarist perfectly. Never really learned how to play or cover songs. Learned a few chords and just started writing all original music from there. Wrote alot. Some stuff recorded with old hardcore band. I wish i could find band mates to start a new band before I'm too old. I write heavy stuff. Also play drums.

[@Doomtech99]

The West Coast Hardcore Vs. East Coast Hardcore comp was a game changer for me.

[@spiritofthetallhills2037]

trumpeting ecstasy era really felt like a big moment in the past decade for underground heavy music. still 'the' full of hell album for me. saw them on a sick tour with outer heaven back then when those dudes put out their debut lp. disma album is sick for sure but i dont wanna give too much credit to a sketchy dude i feel like undergang and dead congregation are the bands that really brought back 90s death metal style

[@fatbrad412]

Incredible pick with The Endless Blockade. Their split with Bastard Noise also rips.

[@ThomasWake1]

Never knew Crawling back to God is a reverse Morbid Angel riff. Makes it even more brilliant

[@Skulltatzareawesome]

Completely forgot I saw the FOH/HW gig in Tulsa in ‘15. Sax was soooooo sick and legit made my head spin from the noise.

[@whengrlstelephonebys9797]

FOH is one of my favorite bands I hope you guys do more stuff with the them !

[@QuezoUbeYEAH]

🤘🏽Always good stuff from hardlore.. 🤘🏽

[@adriandoom7863]

Would love to see you lads get one of the guys from Cannibal Corpse on - especially George. The guy’s BIG into hardcore, and considering how hardcore-tinged his JASTA-PRODUCED solo album was, I think it would be a delight. ⛓️

[@dajovajr]

filled to heck

[@mark6302]

im seeing tthese guys tomorrow night

[@EARTHSPACENOISE]

Can confirm, most noise artists do have hours and hours of noise ready to go at any moment 😂

[@foxwomb]

[@Ramza_88]

Speaking of the 8 split club (28 split club?), when is the Patrick Kindlon SDF/End of a Year full episode?

[@LukeCobb666]

When Crawling Back To God dropped, my instant thought was the Morbid Angel callback. Trey's riffs are truly special. Full Of Hell kicks ass.

[@gabesinclair1401]

great episode. cant wait for the dying fetus show with these guys in pontiac in may. line up is insane.

[@jvallely_]

I remember in 5th grade right as my buddy’s older brother was getting into punk and hardcore and early metalcore I had a warped tour comp cd that had AM/PM from American Nightmareon it. Had to be 2001. The only track I listened to other than glassjaw on it.

[@putrescentvermin]

Spencer doesn't have that typical Southern accent that the Eastern Shore has but he elongates his Os. Watch the overshoppe clip from 30 rock to see what I'm talking about. Y'all should've asked him if he liked Natty Bohs and to pronounce downy ohshun.

[@patrickdix212]

Shout out to the eastern shore of Maryland. Home with an essentially non existence hardcore scene except these guys lol

[@putrescentvermin]

One of the most redneck areas in MD besides Western MD and maybe Southern MD. A bigger hc scene might flourish if gentrification happens.

"Daily regime" is a great term lol

[@Fuckinfucker42069]

Cool story: saw full of hell in Philly at tihc 2016 play to a sold out venue, then a couple months later at my shitty local bar to about 30 people. They went just as fucking hard. Sick to see them in such a small setting after seeing them at tihc. Very much preferred that show. Definition of a diy band.
