Modern progressive metal band Hollowborn has been meticulously preparing their debut album 66 Sins, which will be released on April 4th, and now it’s time to reveal the last taste of that album before the full-length release. The single Mind Chaos is accompanied by a spectacular video made by Julius Nikander, which you can watch here. Julius is also responsible for the cover art for the newly released song.
“The video reflects the chaotic energy of the song, which immerses the viewer in an intense and surreal world. The haunting symbolism is present in the struggle between sanity and madness and the constant pursuit of a lost paradise,” the band formulates.
The final world of both the Mind Chaos single and the entire upcoming album was masterfully put together by mixer-master Rami Nykänen, who has risen to become one of the most sought-after sound wizards in Finland.
“If you are brave enough to dive into this chaotic journey, remember to fasten your seatbelts – this song is guaranteed to give you goosebumps,” the band says.
Painting their songs like short films or short stories, Hollowborn is one of the most interesting newcomers of the spring, and the band itself has not wanted to limit its expression either – as long as it serves the whole and Hollowborn’s own thematics.
“Each song takes the listener on a multi-level journey, where there is the joy of music, power, hate and love. Hopefully every listen brings out something new and interesting.”
The band will next be seen live at Bar Finnegans in Tuusula on March 15th. The upcoming official album release gig for the album 66 Sins will be at Bar Loose in Helsinki on April 9th. Tickets for the event will go on sale soon.
