Obsidian Cult is the band’s powerful first full-length statement, combining cinematic atmosphere, melodic intensity, and emotional depth into a dark yet uplifting journey. Building on the foundation of their self-released 2023 EP, HOLLOW PEAK presents a heavier, more refined, and conceptually coherent 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 larger narrative, moving between moments of darkness and clarity, tension and release.
The album includes the previously released singles „Attack“ and „Labyrinth,“ which showcase different facets of the band’s sound: from the defiant, combative 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 cohesive work, driven by powerful guitars, dynamic rhythms, and impressive vocals, establishing HOLLOW PEAK as one of Norway’s most promising new melodic metal bands.
