Southampton-based metalcore devotees Our Hollow, Our Home have signed to respected label Arising Empire.
“We’re super stoked to join the AE family, we always said that we would love to sign with a label, so long as it was one that understood the ethos of this band, and loved it as much as we and our fans do! It’s safe to say that we felt that was met with ample amounts with Arising Empire! – Our Hollow, Our Home
After years of relentless hard work, dedication and honing their craft, Our Hollow, Our Home returned with their 3rd album, and finest to date, “Burn In The Flood”. Released in May 2022, the record represents another step up in quality and momentum for a band who have become one of the most deserving and hardworking success stories in the UK metal scene in the last five years.
To celebrate, Our Hollow, Our Home present their brand new single ‘Battle X City‘ feat. Samantha Bower (Lightwave) via Arising Empire.
“To put it simply, ‘Battle X City’ is a track that is truly unlike any other Our Hollow, Our Home release to date. It is a testament to how far this band are willing to push the key elements of our signature blend of pop-infused metalcore, and how much we can experiment with the contrasting extremes of heavy and light that OHOH have become known for. Lyrically the song traverses a constant struggle of trying to make something you believe in succeed, whilst the rest of the world tries to convince you that it’s doomed to fail.” – Connor (Vocals)
‘Battle x City” features guest vocals from Samantha Bower, the lead singer of rising pop-metal group Lightwave, which sees Our Hollow, Our Home adding guest clean vocals for the first time ever to a release, which is a refreshing and innovative touch to this riff-heavy, feel good thrill ride of a track.
Our Hollow, Our Home will be headlining across Europe and the UK again this Fall! Join them at one of these shows, together with their label mates in Aviana and TheCityisOurs, plus Glass Heart.

The level of relatability, coupled with their relentless touring with the likes of Asking Alexandria and Blessthefall and high profile slots at festivals like Graspop, Nova Rock, Summerblast and Jera On Air, has seen the band command an ever-growing army of highly dedicated followers; they have over 60,000 on Spotify, have been viewed over 7 million times on Youtube and have over 25,000 Instagram followers and 111,000 on Facebook and 2017’s debut album “Hartsick” reached the top spot of the iTunes chart for rock and metal in the UK, as well as placing in the top ten in the USA, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Italy and Germany.
They were also boosted by their hugely popular cover of Ed Sheeran’s ‘Shape of You’ in 2017, which was picked up by BBC Radio One’sGreg James and subsequently topped the iTunes UK rock and metal chart, and racked up over 300,000 plays on YouTube on its first week of release.
For a band who have handled their own operations internally without the help of major label or industry backing until today, that is a mightily impressive number, and testament to the devotion Our Hollow, Our Home have to their craft. But it’s more than just the numbers that are impressive, it’s the way in which those people have connected with the band. Be it their lyrical content, their staunchly DIY approach, their high-energy live shows or their down-to-earth attitude, Our Hollow, Our Home have connected with their audience in a way that cannot be forced or faked.
