Hollow
Hollow's style blended
Mindcrime-era
Queensryche
(vocal melodies
and some of the less heavier moments) with a tradition Euro power
metal base
(
Helloween, or perhaps
Conception, come to mind).
The Queensryche tendencies have led some to put this band in the
progressive category, but they don't really belong there, as they
are more a melodic power metal band.
The vocals were clear and melodic, almost too much so, while
the guitar work is crunchy and effective without overdoing it.
They never rated too high on the originality scale, but they were
decent enough for the time.
They broke up shortly after their 1999 release, but mainman
Andres Stoltz resurrected the name, essentially turning the band into
a solo project, and releasing a new album in 2018.
