Southampton’s metalcore champions share their struggles

OUR HOLLOW, OUR Home guitarist Tobias Young channelled the pain of losing his father to cancer directly into 2018’s In Moment // In Memory. Unafraid to tackle grief in its entirety, it remained unapologetic in its lyrical subject matter. Heart-wrenching poignancy intermingled with technical precision as the record s conceptual segues and impassioned tracks depicted a raw-yet-crushing wall of sound.

Three years on, OHOH are once again delving into their emotional arsenal, but instead utilising everyone’s personal is representative of a band wearing their hearts on their sleeves, from start to ’s hair-raising, fade-to-black finish. Straight out of the blocks, the title track raids the senses with a devastating combo of riffs offset by stirring bursts of electronica, before searing cleans clash enticingly with gut-punching roars; defiant cries of pushing it towards anthem status.
