[News] Hollow Leg published official music video for the single “Red Skies” taken from their new EP

Coinciding with their new EP “Echoes,” Hollow Leg have released a music video for the hard-riffing track “Red Skies.” The band’s imposing live presence is juxtaposed with spacefaring footage of Mars, and adds a fittingly massive sense of scale to the sludge veterans’ sonic attack.

On the new EP “Echoes“:

Where “Dust” saw the brutality and bone-shaking aspects of Hollow Leg’s sludge and doom stand front and center, “Echoes” finds the band pivoting towards another part of the Heavy spectrum. Still as crushing as ever, the 2nd EP leans further into groove and Psychedelia, creating a lean, mean riff machine of hooks and atmospheric guitar leads, all running on the pounding rhythms that are the lifeblood of Hollow Leg. Sledgehammer guitars and drums rolling through thick distortion are balanced by passages of icy, atmospheric serenity, tied together by raging vocals and thunderous tones.

Even 14 years into their existence, Hollow Leg continue to explore and evolve and “Echoes” is one of their most dynamic and adventurous works to date. Released digitally, the two EPs will also be combined into a true dyad as a vinyl release in 2025 on Third House Communications.

In the band’s own words:

We wanted to change up the way we wrote and released a record this time around. The original idea was just simply making EPs, however many that was, but somewhere during the demoing process we decided we had an overarching theme and sound/vibe to these ideas, and maybe instead of making them separate pieces we could make them a series, parts one and two.

Dust & Echoes are made to stand on their own but also as a tandem, which is why we are releasing them the way we are, and as a split vinyl in 2025. There’s also some practical reasoning behind it, but really it just boiled down to wanting to try something different. Echoes is the slightly more hopeful counterpart to Dust, but thematically there is a through line.

Scott and Zeuss did a great job tying the sonics together as well, while also allowing them to keep their own personalities. We’re very excited about this output!
