“This is the type of group you can count on bringing their best every time. They somehow always blend raw emotion with a refined gut punch of heavy riffs and tight drums. Mix that with Will's ability to go from soft, melodic singing to grinding screams and you get Hollow Intent. Having worked with them multiple times in the studio, can confirm!” - Jacob Gissin
— Studio Harrison

Hollow intent
Hollow Intent is a dynamic hard rock and metal band hailing from Wilmington, North Carolina. Known for their riff-heavy, high-energy sound, the band has been making waves in the music scene. The journey of Hollow Intent began with guitarist Will Baker, who decided to take on vocal & guitar duties, bringing his vision to life. The band later expanded with the addition of Nick Lyons on guitar, Keith Johnson on drums, and Matt Underwood on bass and backing vocals.
Crafting a unique blend of infectious hard rock and metal with a groove reminiscent of late '90's and early 2000's rock/metalcore, Hollow Intent made a strong debut with their EP "Monster" in August 2018, featuring the hit single "Burn." Their talent and hard work earned them nominations for the 2019 Carolina Music Awards, including Best Rock Group and Best Rock Male for Will Baker. Following this success, they released fan favorites "Superhero" and "Parasite."
Hollow Intent has also made a mark with their live performances, playing at major festivals such as Summer Bash Indiana and Blue Ridge Rock Festival for two consecutive years. Their latest releases, "RISE" and "WANNA BE," have received rave reviews, further solidifying their presence in the rock and metal scene. Their 7-song EP "RISE" is set to release October of 2024.
