Hollow Ground started back in 1992 and has changed throughout the years. One thing for sure is that we never got soft!!! We only got harder. The band started out with (\/)att on guitar, Jeremy on bass, Rob D. on guitar, Keith on drums, and Paul on vox. (\/)att & Jeremy had different ideas from the rest of the group on the direction of the band and decided to changed the line up to support their ideas.

Out went, Paul, Rob D. & Keith and in came Brad on guitar, Ron on drums, and Ben on vox. Things weren't working with the vocals so they axed Ben and (\/)att stepped up to take over. With this line up they played at various clubs including, Hammerheadz, the Roxy, & Right Track Inn to name a few. The also opened up for LIFE OF AGONY. But, the band still needed some adjustments.

Unfortunately, Ron was asked to leave and was replaced with Dan. With Dan on board, the band was able to explore even deeper into the darkest, more thrashier side of metal. But with this new ally, conficts with Brad and his vision of the band arose. Knowing this, (\/)att and Jeremy asked Brad to leave.

Now down to only 3 members, the band went in search of a new guitarist and ended up with Rob D. back on board. Unfortunately, Rob D. just wasn't who he once was and was back for only five months. Again, the band was down to three, and decided that 3 was as good as any number.

Now with (\/)att, Jeremy & Dan the band focused on writing and playing out to gain some exposure. This tight line-up amazed crowds with their louder than life sound and original music and sent the band to start recording their first tape, Sik Fuked UP godLIKE. Released in the fall of '95 on the band's own label, Resinated Records, the band received a huge response that sent everyone looking for a copy of the tape. With songs, - Behind the Smile, - Everyday Prey, - Insodomy Inside of You, - Rising of Time, and - Inter Utero Cannibalism, the band started to receive offers from indie labels all along the East Coast. But, in typical Hollow Ground fashion, the worst was about to happen.

In Feb. '96 Jeremy, Hollow Ground's co-founder, and good friend, decided that he had had enough. With no bass player, the offers that the band were receiving started to dry up and sent Hollow Ground in search of a new bass player that took 3 1/2 months to find.

During this painful process (\/)att & Dan still worked on new material which was quite different than Sik Fuked Up godLIKE. With 1/3 of the writing team gone, (\/)att & Dan dove deeper into the dark psyche of their minds to continue on with their musikal revolution. When they found their new bass player, Rob, it didn't take long to bring him up to par with the rest of the band and by July '96 they were back playing shows with this new ferocious line up.

The funny thing is that Rob is also the brother of our old drummer Ron, so he was already familar with the sound and outlook of the band. Within a few months, Hollow Ground was back in the studio recording their latest album, Rape at 2000 Decibels. Songs on that album are - Remember the Pain, - Disinfect, - Helter Shelter, - Rape at 2000 Speedballs, - Glass Dick, - Toxic Dementia, - Clear Black Easy, - FM800, - I'm in Heat, & - Hit the Bottom. With Rob co-writing 6 of the 10 songs on the disk, there was no doubt that he knew the direction band was going.

Since that album, Hollow Ground has been continually amazing crowds and even having the people in the crowd coming up to scream the songs with them. Hollow Ground is still playing out at various clubs and is currently writing new material for the next album titled, ZERO HUNDRED HOURS.
