And so, with one chapter closing, a new one begins. Following the announcement of both Chad and Trystan’s departure from Lower Hollow, tough decisions loomed large for the remaining members — disband or press forward. In a scene where the departure of a vocalist often signals a name change, many would have expected a different path. Yet history shows us examples of resilience: Misery Signals and Shai Hulud thrived through eras with multiple vocalists, crafting unforgettable legacies.

After careful deliberation, the band has elected to continue. The spirit remains unbroken, the passion for the music undiminished. What lies ahead is not just a continuation but a reinvention — a bold new era representing the most significant shift in the band’s sound to date.

Adding to the intrigue, Lower Hollow has officially announced their new vocalist: Kathryn Georgina. No stranger to the scene, Kathryn has previously featured on Truth & Its Burden’s I Labour album and contributed piano and synths to Lower Hollow’s own Bloom & Expire and Threnody records. This addition promises a fresh dynamic while honouring the band's rich sonic heritage.

The band shared their excitement with fans directly, stating:

“We’re about to enter a new era and truly we hope this is the final era of what we are. This is, without a doubt, the most significant shift in sound our band would have experienced up to this point.”
