And to each their own, but that being said, quit hating on the singing. The added depth and dimension you get from clean vocals is a nice change of tempo from all hardcore vox all the time.
Christopher Hicks sure but my opinion about such an opinion is that , this man is expressing himself. I understand if you don't like it , but some people hate without that tempered appreciation for anything else about it. The efforts to get to where they are, the soul they're pouring out, I just think people need more appreciation in their hearts where I believe it belongs. I'm trying to stunt the unchecked scorn and disdain that comes from people, not suppress others' opinions just because I disagree . big difference.
A lot of the time the clean vocalist in bands like this sound like whiney teenage emos. This is one of the few exceptions where he doesn't. This gets my fucking approval
@OgiMetalHead yeah, I agree. This band is still good, obviously. Jamie was better at scream vocals but Kaan is much better at cleans. Let me explain myself… When I hear Kaan’s clean vocals, they sound revitalizing, cathartic, and crisp. Jamie couldn’t do the screaming to clean vocals transition as smoothly as Kaan can. Jamie is much better at screaming though… just not the screams/distortion like Kaan has/mixes in during the clean vocals. I want them BOTH in this band at the same time 😭
Nathan B If you like the vocals and everything you'll love the band the vocalist was in originally. Sylosis - Conclusion of an Age. SOOOOO FUCKING DOPE!
Watched some of Downloads highlights and liked the sound of these guys, this is the first song I came across and am very impressed, gonna start listening to them.
Saw these guys live on saturday....they were fucking beyond epic!!! Can't believe i hadn't heard of them before.......was Lucky enough to meet the band after the gig! Lovely guys, hope to see them back in Lincoln asap, will be in the front row!
Not being bias but I thought metal had gone down within the last 5 years but kudos to the band, gives me the same shivers that I got years ago! Hope this band does well I used to listen to sylosis alot and fair play to the singer he has done well with this band.
Henrique Malvão Yeah I know what you mean, but I do think it's for the best. It's a slippery slope using VST instruments, and I think they were going for a less processed, more raw sound with this album. It makes live shows a lot closer to the records also, which is a plus.
the world is ash and dust, (burn, burn) we are so hollow, and when tomorrow comes.. our dreams will die with us.. (Burn, burn) we are so hollow.... HOLLOW!!! lml
HOAC got me out of a major PTSD slant. The world tilted, still tilted. I sat in my car listening and listening . Got the guts to leave that car.I have never shared before. Never People are thin, soul wise. Everyone in it for themselves. Thats ok. I have mine. Thanks HOAC, and can you play All eyes to the sky live some time
Was this song inspired on the Souls series? Because holy shit man, the lyrics goes perfect with the Dark Souls/Chosen Undead story haha. This band is awesome, by the way, just heard one of their songs, funny enough, on a Dark Souls vid, and became instantly addicted!
Got introduced to this band through seeing if viscera band members had any orevois bands, yet to check out if they have their own bands or how good the other members are in those bands but i hope they're all this good
Giacomo Fiderio - it was originally Timfy that recorded it but when he left the band before it came out Jamie went back in and re-recorded the cleans - just been listening to 'and only time will tell' from both the dead sea EP (which was fucking hard to find ages ago haha!) and the H & H album - big difference in tonality between the two cleans so you know who's who =) or at least to me it is aha xD

There is always that one bit in a heart of a coward that makes you want to headbutt the floor. Fantastic.
Shane McDermott These comments on HOAC videos about the breakdowns always crack me up... XD "That breakdown made me want to take a bite of my table"
what a very greebo comment
Shane McDermott Fancy seeing you here. Bellend.
Rav Bahia Fuck off prik
Jamie Graham is gonna be the best dad ever.
"But dad, I don't want to eat Brussels sprouts"
"... I don't care son, FORCE IT DOWN >_
I like Brussels lol
*comes from school* WELCOME HOOOMEE
@@andresdrummer9656lmao 5 years late but ur comment made me laugh so hard, thanks g

mathprodigy Cleans are one of the best parts, people need to stop bitching.
They always had cleans since the first album dude
So people with a different opinion than yours aren't allowed to express their opinions, even though you say they have a right to have one?

Sweet guitar solo , Sweet Chorus , Sweet riffs , Sweet Band !!!!
I get chills from Jamie's clean vocals
The chorus is so damn catchy!!!!
I heard better dude look up mucopuss just listen to the rifts
It is right
We need this in every karaoke bar
One of my all time fav songs. So recognizable…
A: But does it djent?
B: Yes, it does.
Dines Said Hello
except Jared can't djent.
tell me more bands like that please lol
Drummer's face: "This song is so easy, why is everybody doing these crazy faces?"
I like the chorus, i like the breakdown, i like the vocalist, i like everything, gg
its been 7 years and i still enjoy this song like it came out yesterday! damn such an amazing band this was!
@OgiMetalHead yeah, I agree. This band is still good, obviously. Jamie was better at scream vocals but Kaan is much better at cleans. Let me explain myself…

@@clenchedfistsyndrome1439having both of them on a track would be crazy, jamie on lows, kaan on cleans and highs, and a chorus with both of them..
This song still hammers after 8 years 🤘
2023. Definitely still Hollow.
HOAC's breakdowns are fucking great.
Facts
Such a incredible masterpiece this band is! A thing of perfection! Vocals are f***ing amazing! Love this band
Nathan B If you like the vocals and everything you'll love the band the vocalist was in originally. Sylosis - Conclusion of an Age. SOOOOO FUCKING DOPE!
Oh this is his new band! i didnt even know ahhaa
Slimex26
Jamie just left these guys. I can't fucking believe it.
Vocalist sounds like Anthony from After the Burial except he can sing too. This is badass.
Frankie Hardy oh god I never thought of that. Its so true haha
He sounds like the old Sylosis vocalist... ;)
I here jake luhrs from abr and tim lambosis ..
@@RTSRAZORBACK hmm can't fingure out why that is for the life of me hahaha 🤘
best new release I've heard all week
You Should listen to Cauterize by Mark Tremonti
ballonshape - i see what you did there.
CurzeDesigns ok will check that out right now
CurzeDesigns - so far removed from HoaC but yes, a fantastic sounding record! (Y)
Why can't I find anything about this band on metal archives?
Because this isn't the original Hear Of A Coward. No original members and don't sounds like their original genre.
Rhys Hughes Its not because of that, it's because Metal Archives doesnt count the new metal styles ("-cores") as metal.
Mik yeah they do ive found plenty of core bands in there .-.
Mik They're not really metalcore though?!
H2Joe I'd describe this band as deathcore.
we are so HAAAAAAALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
True
not all of us : )
Saw these guys live... absolutely amazing!
Just discovered this band today. Are looking forward to go throught the rest of their songs!
Yesbox😉
You won't be disappointed
Такая группа крутая. Одна из недооцененных в метале.
Истину глаголишь, Бро.
Damn. I still wish Jamie was with Sylosis though. Conclusion of an age is a fucking masterpiece from start to finish.
I couldn't agree more
Agree, though the rest of the Sylosis work is an exquisite piece of art as well.
Agreed
Oh shit, I've been waiting for new stuff since I listened to Severance too much upon release. This sounds great.
Dark Souls as fuck
کون
& it's fucking awesome! We need more bands like this
We already have bands like this fyi
for real WTF?! 😂😂😂
I thought the same thing lmao. "Hollow", fire, "path you have chosen", everything.
And its hard as fuck.
What a tune. Roll on Download. Regardless of the state I'm in at stupid o clock on Saturday morning I'll be watching this.
Joshua Vaughan see you there man, so hyped for them at download
ay lads we got them there again this year
Band were the live act of Bloodstock for me.
So glad to see UK metal alive, and with such a strong heartbeat.
Watched some of Downloads highlights and liked the sound of these guys, this is the first song I came across and am very impressed, gonna start listening to them.
I've honestly only listened to one Heart of a Coward song before but after hearing this I am already saying this is their best song
Drew Meyer, what about shade?
"This world is ash and dust! We are so hollow!!!"
Одни из самых лучших из прога, до сих пор не могу найти подобные группы и с нетерпением жду новые альбомы
I love your voice, Jamie Graham. It's so beautiful that I feel like crying! Sylosis lost a great deal of it's soul when you left!
The saddest song I had heard... I identify myself with the lyrics.
Check out Skeletal I and II.
Mouth of madness is sad
@@thorthunderlungs5171 Thanks, I just listened and it's awesome! Loved the song
It's life man.
Truth
Been here for 7 years still listening everyday
Watching them right now live on Bloodstock 2016 (Thanks Scuzz ;D).
I'm already in love with the singers amazing voice.
6 years on... still an absolute show stopper!!
The drummer looks so fucking happy lmfao
His happy for bassist, who finally got to sleep with a groupie hahaha
.......I’m just hearing these guys now, why didn’t anyone tell me about them Jesus
Saw HOTC again for the 4th time at download during the weekend this song was amazing live!!! bring on Tech-Fest for HOTC 5th time live!!! :D
Really want to win those tickets..I'll fly from the US to see the band live any day
I'm so glad I stumbled upon this video. I cant wait to hear more.
Saw these guys live on saturday....they were fucking beyond epic!!! Can't believe i hadn't heard of them before.......was Lucky enough to meet the band after the gig! Lovely guys, hope to see them back in Lincoln asap, will be in the front row!
Came here to say that to me this is the BEST song in the entire modern rock history.

Hell yeah!!! Best band I've ever seen & listen! These guys are realy masters! Hi from Ukraine!!! 👍👍👍
Damn. I'm never upset with you guys. Thank you for being awesome
So glad i discovered this amazing guys through drooble!
Epic Powerful Voices & Masterpiece Songs Forever Guyz.Appreciate It.Keep It Going.
It was an honour sharing the stage with you at Faine Misto 2019
My first Intension was i hear to Viscera, really good Guy from HoC . I like it.....
Not being bias but I thought metal had gone down within the last 5 years but kudos to the band, gives me the same shivers that I got years ago! Hope this band does well I used to listen to sylosis alot and fair play to the singer he has done well with this band.
I worship the breakdowns!
my face is melting!!
just found out about them, i cannot stop listening to them now, this is honestly a perfect song
cant wait to see them in oxford with trivium!!!! just discoverd these guys. there so good!!
+guitare740 i saw them in portsmouth, they killed it, it was a great night for all the bands
+joe grant it defintly was. i cant belive i hadnt heard of them tho before i saw trivium. hoac are amazing!!!
both support bands were great, AS lions and HOAC were amazing, i was surprised to have such amazing support bands
+joe grant yeah hoac put on a great fucking show!!! ill be buying tickets to see them wen they next come to uk on there own tour!!
I usually hate these kinds of bands but this band just hits the right spot with me. Fucking A+!
The best album so far
Download Festival, Main Stage, Saturday, 11pm, fuck yeah!!!!!!!!
Holy Christ, what just happened!!! Hollow is just freaking top notch!!!!
The setting reminds me of RED's 'Feed the Machine.' Anyone else know that song? I fucking love this!
Ciarán Ingle (ciaran1344) Except there are no fireworks!
Ciarán Ingle (ciaran1344) Great song and band!
+Ciarán Ingle (ciaran1344) Love HOAC, I just miss the old sampled drums :( it is a lot more powerful
Henrique Malvão Yeah I know what you mean, but I do think it's for the best. It's a slippery slope using VST instruments, and I think they were going for a less processed, more raw sound with this album. It makes live shows a lot closer to the records also, which is a plus.
Saw these guys last night supporting Trivium. So glad I got there early to see them!!! Looks like ill be buying some new albums! \m/
+Nicky Isted Same here >_>
Anticipating this being one of the best albums of the year
how could i live till now without hearing anything about this godlike band?! :O
I think the vocals are incredible, that includes the cleans as well.
3:15 makes me want to eat a bowl of fruit.
Did you actually do it though?!!! :o
Rui Carneiro JUST DO IT
***** DO IT
+Rui Carneiro i thought it said punch a bowl of fruit but ok
+Rui Carneiro You absolute savage. Far too brutal for me.
i loved the cleans vox in the previous albums still loving it. heart of a coward gets me so fucking pumped
This band just keep getting better!
This band is a real gem: lyrics, sound and energy are incredible.
Anybody know other similar bands?
Across the Sun
Viscera
The Sorrow
Always loved this band! They keep comming back with badass work!
I hope these guys keep producing for a long time to come
Just amazing. I really love the chorus
Fuck...6 years later and this still hits hard
most badass song of all history right here
the world is ash and dust, (burn, burn)
we are so hollow, and when tomorrow comes..
our dreams will die with us.. (Burn, burn)
we are so hollow.... HOLLOW!!! lml
It's so good, progress is incredible
Bro its been years and i completely forgot about this song
This is still the sickest song I've come across randomly🤘🏿🤘🏿
This is such a good song.
Is this off an upcoming album? God damn I want to hear more.
HOAC got me out of a major PTSD slant. The world tilted, still tilted. I sat in my car listening and listening . Got the guts to leave that car.I have never shared before. Never People are thin, soul wise. Everyone in it for themselves. Thats ok. I have mine. Thanks HOAC, and can you play All eyes to the sky live some time
Band has a similar feel to Soilwork. Love it, you guys go hard
Just listened to this album for the first time & it bangs so mfin hard
Was this song inspired on the Souls series? Because holy shit man, the lyrics goes perfect with the Dark Souls/Chosen Undead story haha. This band is awesome, by the way, just heard one of their songs, funny enough, on a Dark Souls vid, and became instantly addicted!
the cleans make this some awesome..wayyyy better than the older shit
I'm buying this album a.s.a.p!
Reminds me of a Djenty, metalcorey Lamb of God a bit.
This band is so addictive
met the guitarist at craufards arms pub tonight, good lad.
Got introduced to this band through seeing if viscera band members had any orevois bands, yet to check out if they have their own bands or how good the other members are in those bands but i hope they're all this good
This song is incredible.
Why haven't I heard of this band before? This is great.
What's up with those cleans? They're freaking awesome! Should've used them previously.
SureIAmDead Listen to 'Distance'. The cleans in that song are fucking amazing!
Ciarán Ingle (ciaran1344) Even better, listen to the song "Light" from their Hope & Hindrance album, or Sylosis' Conclusion of an Age.
Levi Boldock Weren't those the cleans of the guitarist that left?
The cleans on Hope & Hindrance were Timfy James (the guitarist), everything after that is just Jamie's vocals.
(I'm pretty sure about this anyway)
Giacomo Fiderio - it was originally Timfy that recorded it but when he left the band before it came out Jamie went back in and re-recorded the cleans - just been listening to 'and only time will tell' from both the dead sea EP (which was fucking hard to find ages ago haha!) and the H & H album - big difference in tonality between the two cleans so you know who's who =) or at least to me it is aha xD
Моя любимая группа))) Со "Skeletal I" всегда начинается моё утро. Привет из России моя друзья)))
Can't wait for the new album.
ку 22ой, Назревает третья мировая, (з.ы. мы вашь остров превратим в пустыню) Джейми вернись пару треков забацай что бы умирать не так грустно было!
Vocalist is an absolute beast!
Jamie was irreplaceable in SYLOSIS THATS WHY IM FUCKING HERE!!!!!!!!!
fucking same! I liked Jamie more than josh in sylosis
These guys have just been announced for UK tech fest 2015 and I for one can't wait! Also this song is awesome.
I wish I could like this more than once.
Cannot wait to see these on the Saturday at Download! See you guys in the pit!
The singers jacket is awesome, any idea where i can order the same? Badass song btw.
просто ахренительно)Джэйми ты крут!
