Today, Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Metalcore slingers HOLLOW FRONT release new album "The Fear Of Letting Go" via UNFD, and share new music video for "Over The Cradle".
“'Over the Cradle' is a song about an estranged relationship between motherand child. It’s from the point of view of the child telling their mom all the ways she’d hurt themgrowing up, but in the end they have forgiven her and they want her to know that.This song is very personal. It’s inspired by my own relationship with my mother, when I was kid.I wouldn’t say she was the worst mom in the world. I had everything a kid needed and more.Our relationship just fractured in my early teens, because of her decisions, and it took a verylong time for us to recover. But we did, and I love my mom very much. She’s one of my biggestsupporters and has always encouraged me to keep at this band thing,even when things havegotten super tough."
This Grand Rapids, MI duo — Tate and Lee Albrecht [guitar ] — emerged from a season of seemingly endless trials and tribulations. Instead of backing down, they transform the chaos around them into unpredictable and undeniable anthems.
"The album is a journey out of feeling helpless in a situation I don't have control over", notes Tyler. "I've realized the only thing I have control over is the choice to move on and keep going. That's all I'm doing. I'm not ready to give up yet".
There's no reason to…
Hollow Front have consistently captivated audiences by tempering unfettered heaviness with undeniable melodies. The band emerged as a fan favorite with Loose Threads in 2020. After the album tallied 1 million streams during release-week, "Afflicted" eventually racked up over 7.2 million Spotify streams and counting. The 2022 follow-up, "The Price of Dreaming", earned widespread critical acclaim. New Noise Magazine hailed it as "a blistering and bruising experience, evoking myriad emotions and conveying a heady and moving blend of euphoria and despair." Distorted Sound dubbed it "metalcore at its most earnest." Along the way, they shared stages with everyone from Fit For a King and We Came As Romans to Dayseeker and August Burns Red.
At the same time, the guys weathered one storm after another. A van accident, subsequent financial strife, and lineup shifts left Hollow Front a two-piece by the end of 2022. So, the pair hunkered down and wrote, mixed, and mastered what would become "The Fear of Letting Go" in its entirety with Lee producing and recording out of his home studio. For the first time, Tyler also assumed both heavy and clean vocal duties.
