Full Of Hell and Nothing’s Song “Like Stars In The Firmament” Just Might Make You Feel Something
I know I’m preaching to the choir here when I say that music should make you feel something. Sure, most of the time the thing we metalheads feel is “where’s the nearest piece of furniture that I can break once this breakdown fucking hits” but listen — we have more feelings than that. Some music, such as “Like Stars In The Firmament” from the upcoming Full of Hell and Nothing collaboration, make you look inwards.
Featuring a sort of ethereal vibe, the track posted below flutters through itself with a sound that almost feels weightless. Coupled with the oddly beautiful/unsettling music video written and directed by Mike Martinez and Tyler Way, this new drop from the duo really does something.
At least conceptually, this new video also works in tandem with the collab’s previous single, “Spend The Grace,” which you can also check out below.
According to Full of Hell’s Dylan Walker, that feeling is by design, as both bands contributed to something more than his band’s grindcore sensibilities and the shoegaze approach of Nothing.
“‘Like Stars in the Firmament’ is like a cooling and serene bath, a valley amongst peaks. It’s a slow motion free-fall into oblivion and a fading cry at the end of the road. I think when we are faced with our own mortality and insignificance, we have to confront that oldest of fears and this song manifests that in a beautiful and sad way.”
It’ll be interesting to see how the rest of the collab shakes out, but so far it seems like this is going down some really interesting, if not more chilled out avenues.
