HOLLOW CORP.'s 'Cloister Of Radiance' To Receive North American Release

June 23, 2008

Prosthetic Records has announced the release of French metal band HOLLOW CORP.'s debut record, "Cloister of Radiance", throughout North America. Originally made available in Europe last September through Swedish label Dental Records, the CD will be issued domestically for the first time on September 30.

"We're feeling really honored joining such a great label like Prosthetic," HOLLOW CORP. frontman Stephane Azam said in a statement. "They have awesome bands and a vision of the music that corresponds with our own. Let us hope to cross the Atlantic soon! We also wish to thank Dental Records for their great job in Europe!"

"After a huge success in Europe, HOLLOW CORP. is ready to 'audioslave' the audience across the Atlantic," Dental Records label manager Omer Akay says. "We are very pleased to have found such a great partner in the U.S.; with Prosthetic's help, we will make HOLLOW CORP. a force to be reckoned with."

Nestled in the wine district of Alsace near the northeastern border of the band's native country, France's HOLLOW CORP. comes from humble beginnings as the band COVERAGE, founded in 1999. Taking up its current moniker in 2005, the band has all the while noisily and masterfully combined heavy metal's raw intensity with a post-hardcore flair of dissonance and down-tempo sludge moments in the years since its inception. With the release of the band's first album, "Cloister of Radiance", in the fall of 2007 throughout Europe on Sweden's Dental Records, HOLLOW CORP. ultimately caught the eye of both European press outlets and of Los Angeles-based Prosthetic Records, positioning the label to release "Cloister of Radiance" this coming fall throughout North America.

Three tracks from the album are currently available on the HOLLOW CORP.MySpace page.
