“Obsidian Cult” marks a powerful first full-length statement from the band, combining cinematic atmosphere, melodic intensity and emotional depth into a dark yet uplifting journey. Building on the foundation laid by their 2023 self-released EP, HOLLOW PEAK present a heavier, more refined and conceptually cohesive sound that balances strength, melody and introspection.
Produced by Ragnhild Westgaard and Marius Karlsen, and mixed and mastered by Corey Bergeron, the album explores themes of alienation in the digital age, inner conflict and personal renewal. Each track unfolds as part of a wider narrative, moving between moments of darkness and clarity, tension and release.
The album features the previously released singles “Attack” and “Labyrinth”, which showcased different facets of the band’s sound: from the defiant, battle-driven intensity of “Attack” to the introspective and atmospheric depth of “Labyrinth”.
From the opening track “From Ashes Rises a Crown” to the haunting title track “Obsidian Cult”, the album flows as a unified work, driven by powerful guitar work, dynamic rhythms and commanding vocals, firmly establishing HOLLOW PEAK as one of the most promising new melodic metal acts to emerge from Norway.
