Having an early beginning from 2001 to 2007 the band was started by Dean and Duncan, going through many band members, in 2005 Catlyn joined the band on bass, her creativity and bass skills gave the band a new sound. In 2006 Lewis Mclean joined the band doing vocals and part rhythm Guitar, the band began writing songs with a new interesting style. Losing their front man Lewis Mclean at the end of 2007 (left to join the navy in the U.S.A) the three original members Dean Thompson, Duncan King and Catlyn McDonald kept the band alive. In 2008 Patrick ‘Fly’ joined the band as the new rhythm guitarist and Wojtek Starzak joined on vocals.

The Hollow became more brutal and heavier than before, creating a strange cross metal genre of music. Started gigging in June 2008 and never turning back, The Hollow has always been about the fans, creating a crazy stage presence and insane show. In 2009 we joined Blackout Entertainment under our JHB manager Adam Prevo’st. Adam has helped push the band many a time in JHB and The Hollow is proud to have him on their team. Sadly at the beginning of 2010 The Hollow lost its Lead Guitarist Dean Thompson (left to pursue a career in the U.K). As big a loss this was, the band kept together and used this to help push their writing to new boundaries.

In April 2010 Kyle Edward joined the band as the new Lead guitarist. Being a friend and fan, he was the best choice and he immediately got hard to work learning the songs. The Hollow is going to push hard in 2010 and the following years to come, in search to spread our music around the world.

Band influences include: White chapel, All Shall Perish, The Black Dahlia murder, Lamb of god, Devil Driver, Job for a cowboy, As blood runs Black, Chimaira, Cradle of filth, Tool, and many more..

The Hollow has played all over Durban and Johannesburg. In 2008 we entered the Burn Nightclubs battle of the bands and made it to the finals.
