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 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. As new 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.”
