Lower Hollow Reimagine Their Sound With Threnody: Songs Of Perseverance.

Fast, aggressive, atmospheric, and heartfelt—these are the words that have come to define Johannesburg’s Lower Hollow. Since their formation in 2022, the band has released two full-length albums, toured extensively across South Africa, and carved out their own unique corner of the atmospheric metalcore landscape. With lyrics rooted in themes of anger, pain, death, loss, and alienation, Lower Hollow have consistently transformed raw emotion into cathartic soundscapes that defy genre boundaries.
 
Their latest release, Threnody: Songs of Perseverance, marks a new chapter. Originally conceived in the wake of transition, the record is both a reimagining and an evolution of their 2023 album Threnody: Songs of Fortitude.
 
Just eight months after Fortitude was released, the band faced a major turning point when their vocalist stepped down to focus on fatherhood. Midway through promoting and touring the record, Lower Hollow suddenly found themselves searching for a new voice—and found it in Kathryn Georgina.
 
The arrival of Kathryn brought a profound shift in dynamic, transforming the band’s sound and igniting a new creative energy. Inspired by the visceral intensity of their live performances with Georgina, Lower Hollow returned to the material from Fortitude and reshaped it through their newly discovered lens.

Believing in our sound, the songs, and our vision, we decided to offer our audience a version of the album that ultimately reflected the live sound we’d since adopted,” the band explains. “We’ve always been a band that served the songs, and our melodic songwriting process allowed these tracks to take a different shape while still honouring the original sentiment.”
 
The result is Threnody: Songs of Perseverance—an album that soars with atmosphere, punishes with breakdowns, and carries an emotional weight that lingers long after the last note fades. More than just a reworked release, it is a powerful testament to Lower Hollow’s resilience, creativity, and refusal to be defined by circumstance.
 
With Songs of Perseverance, Lower Hollow transform challenge into catharsis—offering their audience not just music, but meaning, value, and purpose
