held by the hollow is an alternative rock and shoegaze project based in the Forest of Dean. Formed in late 2024 by Cassius Atanasova and Thomas Warne, both 16, the band channels emotional intensity through layered distortion, expressive vocals, and immersive soundscapes. Cassius leads on vocals and production, while Thomas brings texture and weight through guitar. Together, they craft every element—bass, drums, and the foundational songwriting—creating a sound that is both raw and intricately built.
The music of held by the hollow explores themes of isolation, memory, inner conflict, and the quiet beauty found in emotional unrest. Many of their songs reflect the fears and uncertainty of growing up—caught between the pressure to move forward and the pull of everything being left behind. Their sound drifts between fragility and force, often beginning in softness before rising into walls of sound that feel overwhelming and cathartic. Influenced by shoegaze, post-rock, and alternative guitar music, their sound is deeply atmospheric but grounded in personal experience.
At its core, held by the hollow is about capturing moments that feel too heavy to say out loud—translating them into something loud enough to feel. It's music made for the late hours, the long walks, and the in-between spaces where emotions live when there are no words left.
