Our Hollow, Our Home was a metalcore group originating from Southampton, England, established in 2013.
Origins and Initial Phase
The band came together in 2013, featuring Connor Hallisey on lead vocals, Tobias Young handling guitar and clean vocals, Josh White on guitar, Lawrence Welling playing bass, and Alex Rayner on drums. Their first release was a seven-track album titled Redefine in 2015. This was succeeded by their sophomore album Hartsick in 2017, which included four tracks: Feast For the Crows, Throne to the Wolves, Worms Wood, and Karmadillo. During this timeframe, they toured extensively throughout England, with significant appearances such as their performance at the Key Club in Leeds.
In March 2017, the band headlined Venue 229 in London, supported by Vanity Draws Blood and Sworn Amongst. Later that year, they were the main act for a Halloween event alongside acts including Crystal Lake and co-headlined a UK tour with Kingdom of Giants.
Their third studio effort, In Moment // In Memory (2018), drew heavily on guitarist Tobias Young’s personal journey through his father’s lung cancer diagnosis, marking a deliberate move toward more heartfelt lyrical themes. To promote the album, they held a Halloween concert in Southampton.
In 2019, Our Hollow, Our Home took the lead at the Boston Music Room in London and released a music video for Parting Gift, with all proceeds benefiting Macmillan Cancer Support. That November, they participated in the Impericon Never Say Die! Tour, performing alongside Crystal Lake and King 810, further solidifying their footprint within the European metalcore circuit.
Pandemic Impact and Partnership with Arising Empire
Scheduled for spring 2020 was a headline tour across Europe and the UK featuring Ghost Iris, AVIANA, and TheCityIsYours; however, this was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As restrictions began to lift in 2021, the group signed with the German label Arising Empire and unveiled their fourth album Burn in the Flood. This release was supported by a music video for Remember Me, which featured guest vocals from Ryo Kinoshita of Crystal Lake.
Lineup Changes, Final Releases, and Breakup
By 2023, only Tobias Young remained from the original lineup. He rebuilt the band with new members: unclean vocalist Gaz King, guitarist James Hackett, bassist Matt Thomason, and drummer Kieran Tonks. This formation introduced their single Downpour. In 2024, they announced their dissolution, performed a farewell show in Southampton, and issued their fifth and concluding album titled Hope & Hell in September.
