Snyjxr It has been a very long time since I last found a metal album so complete and brimming with talent. The songwriting is top-notch; the symphonic elements hit all the right spots; the rhythmic guitar lines are amazing and full of great riffs; the vocal performance is excellent, and it covers deep growls, scratching shrieks and clean lines; the drumwork is very tight; bass sounds thick; and, to top it all off, these songs pack some very good lead guitar acrobatics! Truly, I have come upon a gem! Favorite track: Landscape.

Maison Planàterre La suite "Exegence" et "Snow" permet d'observer, d'abord la tranquillité de la vie, puis les difficultés croissantes d'une mission d'exploration en terre inconnue. Cette terre faite de montagnes et de neige fera vivre l'enfer aux courageux explorateurs. La congruence des canevas musicaux avec le degré de sévérité des thèmes soulevés, et l'excellence du jeu des musiciens, permet à l'écoute d'être immersive et captivante. Comment ne pas aimer? Favorite track: Snow.

Hate (NEW) 04:50
HATE Cursed at birth, must look away from all you see. Disgusted glares, throw back the stares, silently. Malformation, not considered a human being, A mere cyst, an excuse for our head to bleed. Vengeance, VENGEANCE! Observation block, probed and scaned for all to view, Doctors debate on which way to butcher you. No way to separate our minds, but this is true, My torment will be thine, yes, you shall bear it too! Vengeance, VENGEANCE! At night I whisper in your thoughts. In your slumber, torture starts. At night I whisper in your dreams. In your slumber, torture screams. Vengeance, VENGEANCE! Day by day, ignored as if I were not real, Loneliness is friend to this pitiful ordeal. Scowl at your joy, for this, you have no right to feel, Smile at your pain, grin when karma makes you kneel. Vengeance, VENGEANCE! Ever I’ll whisper in your dreams, Twist your mind to make you see. Cursed at birth, burdened with the thought of me. You may well deny, still I do live within thee. For all this suffering, I’ll conjure in your dreams, Ever, in your subconscious, for vengeance, I will scream! Vengeance, VENGEANCE!

Vlad 03:23
Sold as a slave, the prince returned, brave, Starring down at his father's grave, Crying revenge! Raise our banners high, Feed them fear and sorrow, Desecrate the earth and father it with horror. Raise our banners high, Feed them fear and sorrow, Desecrate the earth and father it with horror. Twenty thousand dead, forest of the impaled, Savage king ruled with and iron hand, Prosperity! Raise our banners high, Feed them fear and sorrow, Desecrate the earth and father it with horror. Drink the blood of life, Let crows feast on the morrow, Let your bodies die and glory fill the hollow. Raise our banners high, Feed them fear and sorrow, Desecrate the earth and father it with horror. Drink the blood of life, Let crows feast on the morrow, Let your bodies die and glory fill the hollow.

Landscape 04:47
Gray, and brittle, Now shunned, This blasted heath. Once, fields of green and bountifulness, Grew, trees and crops, profusely. Up, in the sky, through the darkness, Came star of death, unearthly. Brown, meteor, mound from space, Wasting away in the air. Crops started growing again, But bitter in acid in taste. Tainted, the water in the well, Poison, the colour out of space, Out of space! Nothing but ash, nothing but death, Naught but the fear, the people's dread. Nothing but ash, nothing but death, It draws people near, and consumes them. Gray, and brittle, Now shunned, This blasted heath, This blasted heath!

A New Life 05:32
Rise of the carnage, Price for all knowledge, Strife, everlasting, Dawn of a new age. Since the beginning of time, man has fought his peers. Discovery of fire light, a flint is all we need. Evolution endowed us with the gift of speech, But fast are we to use our tongue and decimate the weak. Science came through for our race, and changed the way we live, Science came through for our wars, plutonium was the key. One day, as it was foretold, a child will come to be, From our mother Gaïa's womb, and set the people free. Freed from all they endured, A new life awaits thee all. A new life awaits thee all, A new life awaits. Rise of the carnage, Price for all knowledge, Strife, everlasting, Dawn of a new age. Freed from all they endured, A new life awaits thee all. A new life awaits thee all, A new life awaits. Rise of the carnage, Dawn of a new age.

Snow 07:09
The date: September 2nd 1930 We sailed from Boston harbor, leaving eagerly A quest of knowledge do we crave Mustered for the occasion were men of righteous stance Nineteen men of skill and I, with inquiring minds Towards the south pole do we sail Set foot two months later on the continent The explorations have begun, the mountains soon in sight Unknown, the terror that awaits Walked upon these peaks for miles The wind, it blows relentlessly The loss of men and what we find As madness sets its sight on me At the mountains Fangs of ice and fear Hide in silence Caves that echo evilly Lost in ice and cold Our Hell's made of snow Upon returning to the camp, a grim discovery We found our base and equipment were destroyed utterly Our comrades' bodies torn to shreds It seems we'd found a species yet to be known to man Leathery skin, with tentacles and horrid, star-shaped heads In fear and wonder, we dissect As we explored their dwelling, a city–tomb of ice Carvings in the walls told of its aeonian history Realize an Old One still dwells here All this is too much for normal men to bear Danford's mind has failed Escape, our only thought, whilst running through the haze Fleeing things unnamed Escape, our only thought, whilst running through the haze Fleeing things unnamed Unnamed! Ran among this maze for miles The stench, it grows infernally The loss of faith from what we found As madness firms its grasp on me At the mountains Fangs of ice and fear Awakened Elder Yog-Sothoth pursuing me Fled from ice and cold Our Hell's made of snow

about

Hollow Montréal, Québec

One notable feature is the band’s make-up which is applied before every show using the airbrush by a Montreal’s artist Bob Skelton. The music combines symphonic and orchestral elements to heavy riffs, progressive structures and a black metal atmosphere. Highly energetic performances that give out a very theatrical vibe, HOLLOW are a band made for the stage. ... more
