Bill's Prog Blog- Now, I've mentioned above that the band is classed as a prog metal band. And certainly there are elements of that...we've got heavy guitars, distortion, intense bits of music with power and energy. But American Hollow tempers this with healthy doses of ambience and space..they're not a complete balls to the wall metal band. Take a pair of tracks like the opening duo of `Terronoia' and `State of Decay.' The album opener is a cool instrumental, perhaps a bit simplistic in some ways. Admittedly I think it goes on a bit longer than it perhaps could...but the gradual build in intensity is subtle and does pay off.

`State of Decay' leads off with some great, space rock like synth sweeps (listening, I think it could have been nicely cross faded with `Terronoia'), while vocal section are mostly laid back, with choruses heavier. Jameson's vocals are nice and clear, very enunciated in the verses, almost overly so. The band shows some admirable restraint in the instrumental sections; where other groups might have started off with thousand mile an hour guitar and keyboard harmony solos, Kyle Mullikin plays more with mood, alternating between clean picked parts and crushing chords. 4:50 long, and I wish there was a bit more to it...

Salt Lake Metal Examiner - 'Whisper Campaign' is a crescendo of emotion, soulful lyrics and intriguing instrumentals, starting off with 'Terronoia.' An instrumental and melodic song that builds into a small climax, a pause...and the stage is set for 'State Of Decay.' From there the album continues to expand into a montage of the surreal mixed with hard reality, creating a sound that is both interesting and unique. Read More

Bio:

American Hollow formed in December of 2008 and hails from Salt Lake City, Utah. The band aspires to bring a mix of progressive, metal, Drum Corps and classic rock styles together in their own unique way. After releasing their first album 'Whisper Campaign' and receiving excellent reviews, The Hollow men are back at it, working on an upcoming EP, to be released in late 2011.
American Hollow is continuing its exploration of the musical horizon, with the primary goal of making great music and continuing to push the limits of the modern progressive rock sound. The foundation of American Hollow has always rested on the friendship of those involved and a desire to transcend any boundary to achieve that end.
