HollowKin are a five-piece metalcore band from the southwest UK. Taking influences from the likes of Killswitch Engage, Machine Head, Lamb of God and Architects, HollowKin blend groove-inflected riffs, brutal breakdowns and dark atmosphere with catchy melodic hooks. 

 

Forming in late 2023, the band wasted no time writing and recording, with their first single released in May 2024 with a 5-track EP following later that year. The EP deals with the social and personal in equal measure with songs that flip from self-reflective to politically charged.

 

HollowKin, while new, are by no means inexperienced, and are coming out swinging with their debut release and are sure to be ones to watch in the UK metal scene.
