“The line ‘I’m holding on for you‘ in the chorus sums this up in a single phrase. Musically, we wanted to reflect the pace at which these thoughts and emotions come to you while expressing both sadness, anger, and pain. Hollow have always tried to keep our lyrics raw and relatable. We know that this song will relate to many people, and we hope that those suffering will find some comfort and seek help wherever and whenever needed.”
That level of relatability, coupled with their relentless touring with the likes of Asking Alexandria and Blessthefall, and high-profile slots at festivals like Graspop, Nova Rock, Summerblast, and Jera On Air, has seen the band command an ever-growing collection of highly-dedicated followers; they have over 79,000 on Spotify; have been viewed over 10 million times on YouTube; and have over 29,000 Instagram followers and 107,000 on Facebook and 2017’s debut album Hartsick reached the top spot of the Itunes chart for rock and metal in the UK, as well as placing in the top ten in the USA, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Italy and Germany.
They were also boosted by their hugely popular cover of Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” in 2017, which was picked up by BBC Radio One’s Greg James and subsequently topped the iTunes UK rock and metal chart, and racked up over 300,000 plays on YouTube on its first week of release.
The release of their album Burn in the Flood marked a significant milestone. This album encapsulated the band’s evolution with its refined sound that blended melodic elements with their signature hard-hitting metalcore. It included standout tracks like the emotionally charged single “In Retrospect” and the anthemic title track Burn in the Flood, showcasing the band’s dynamic range and lyrical depth. The album was well-received, adding significantly to their streaming numbers and earning praise for its production quality and thematic boldness. This release further solidified Our Hollow, Our Home’s position in the metal scene, offering fans both old and new a rich auditory experience that resonated with the challenges and resilience of the human spirit.
