Latest Work

The band's latest single, "Jaded" showcases Hollow Heart's modern influences with electronic drum beats working alongside pop instrumentals that form an infectious intro before launching into full band destruction. Raw screams, distant down-tempo guitar chugging, and bright-emphasized melodic elements join the fray, quickly bursting into controlled chaos.

Hollow Heart expertly crafts and refines their sound–balancing crushing heaviness and layered harmonic instrumentals, creating intricate soundscapes filled with depth and powerfully distinct uses of musical contrast. Hollow Heart has no fear of experimentation and exploration all while staying true to their extreme metal roots with explosive breakdowns and brutally heavy vocal styles.

Hollow Heart pays homage to all-time metalcore greats and a nostalgic 2000s sound while also creating a unique and fiercely distinct musical style that skirts the lines between melodic metal and extreme metal genres in an equally refreshing and exciting manner.
