ASCEND THE HOLLOW – music video for their single “Polaris Calling” from new album available now #ascendthehollow
ASCEND THE HOLLOW are fearless and fierce, rising strongly from the ashes, reborn and taking responsibility for their self-reinvention. They are the power that lies dormant in every one of us. They do not give up and do not accept failure. They have the power to Ascend The Hollow and reach towards the sun. In 2019 they emerge like the phoenix from the ashes of Xerosun into their current metamorphosis ASCEND THE HOLLOW. The Female Fronted Progressive Cyber Tech Metal Band will release their brand new album “Echoes Of Existence” on June 7th, 2019 worldwide through Dr. Music Records with their newly formed line-up. The fans of the four European musicians can look forward to ten brutal and intense songs in a breathtaking Cyber Metal sound. Partially produced by Kris Norris (Darkest Hour, Scar The Martyr,
ASCEND THE HOLLOW’s music is driven by 9-string guitars, 6-string basses and modern electronic soundscapes. The whole thing is rounded off by a diverse mixture of grunts, screams and a melancholic, clear voice. ASCEND THE HOLLOW combine their eclectic influences to a powerful, aggressive yet melodically intrusive and innovative sound. The band consists of experienced musicians whose previous successes include supporting tours with acts such as Avenged Sevenfold, Xerath, The Agonist, Sirenia, The Birthday Massacre or Jinjer. The line-up consists of M-NOISE (vox, lyrics), RAVEN (guitars, programming), GEF (guitars, programming) and DAVEC (bass). “Echoes Of Existence” is a journey through the dark sides of humanity into a world dominated by technology and progress. The album is about taboos such as mental illnesses and suicide, while also exploring some more uncomfortable and triggering themes like rape and child sex abuse. Not afraid to oppose the current socio-political climate, the central message is mental health and human rights awareness. The opener “Polaris Calling” sets the route of the album right away. This song is a biblical and cosmic depiction of both spectrums of bipolar disorder. Along with the first single “Prisoners Of The Storm” a music video will be released which, like the song, deals with the struggle of depression and its debilitating effects. Our minds can be our worst enemy and our most effective prison. ASCEND THE HOLLOW’s second single “Sea Of Crises” explores a theme of ‘lunar lunacy’. It is a deeply rooted cultural belief in the mystical powers of the full moon which can induce erratic behaviors, psychiatric hospital admissions, suicides, homicides, injuries, traffic accidents and all manner of strange events. The third single “Vessels” is inspired by the Irish abortion rights debate which led to the referendum in May 2018 and a resounding victory of pro-choice activists. The lyrics also include an allusion to the poem ‘The Second Coming’ by William Butler Yeats. His dramatic, apocalyptic imagery reiterates the battle between the modern world, in this case represented by science and human rights, and the ancient world with its focus on religion and conservatism. For both songs, lyric videos will be released, which were perfectly staged by Andy Pilkington of ‘Very Metal Art’ (Skindred, Dust Bolt, Threshold).

When “Echoes Of Existence” is released this summer, the Cyber Metal Maniacs will definitely have new fans. The album is an intense and fierce trip into the abysses of contemporary culture and the depths of human existence. There are some bands who pursue this approach, but only a few succeed so forcefully, relentlessly and brutally. ASCEND THE HOLLOW will join the first league of the hard Metal scene with this masterpiece!
