The Hollow Sea - Violent Wind | Violent Will

1. Body Hammer
2. Step Forward
3. Sick
4. Work Horse
5. Monologue
6. Vacant Mind

The Hollow Sea have released their debut EP. This EP follows the same sound and style the band did on their two song sampler. This band has a very generic sound, but even though they don't stand out, they still sound well. When you look at how the album was created, the sound is decent and the instrumentation is alright but they just aren't up enough which may have to do with the recording and the vocals seem to not have a punch to them. If you are looking for a single for this album, listen to the song "Step Forward" as it is heavy and has a pretty alright sound for this hardcore band. The Hollow Sea are a young band just starting up and they have yet to find a really true unique sound. If this band can tweak their sound and progress a bit, then they will have something that makes them stand out. Give this album a listen to decide how you like it.

The Hollow Sea - That Was Then, This Is Now

1. That Was Then

2. This Is Now

The Hollow Sea have released the debut two song sampler of the songs "That Was Then" and "This Is Now." The first thing you notice is both songs are similar in style, they have the same the song structure and everything which is the style and sound the band is going for. One of the things about this album is the quality, it could have been done better and the songs themselves could of been better. Listen to the song "This Is Now" first if you choose to check this, it is the better of the two. After all of that, this is a good start for a young band making their first music, with some progression and redefining themselves you could really see something here. Good effort, check it out.
