Lower Hollow, the South African metallic hardcore band, is back with their second single “Burning Bridges” from their forthcoming album Threnody: Songs of Fortitude, set to release via Mongrel Records on the 19th of July 2024.
Following the success of their debut album Bloom & Expire in 2023, Lower Hollow faced significant changes, parting ways with three founding members.
Rather than disband, the remaining members chose to reimagine and rebuild, staying true to their vision of a sound that is fast, aggressive, atmospheric, honest, and heartfelt.
The new single delves into themes of manipulation and emotional hurt, highlighting the journey from victimhood to self-empowerment.
New Lower Hollow vocalist Trystan Bryce explains
“’Burning Bridges’ speaks heavily to being taken advantage of, repeating the same toxic cycles, as well as continuously being manipulated – causing a great deal of emotional hurt.”
“While describing how one could be on the highest pedestal and completely oppressive towards another person. Essentially, using them as a steppingstone to achieve their goals at the expense of their victim.”
“This track also speaks to breaking away from the cycle of being that victim of manipulation and leeching. Ultimately – becoming connected to one’s inner self once again.”
