Story
"Hollowform” is set in the world of “The Surface,” where religious totalitarianism reigns supreme and dissension is inconceivable. The story follows the protagonist “Sym,” who, after the recent passing of his son, struggles to reclaim control over his failing farm, crumbling marriage, and religious identity. Sym unknowingly becomes the pawn of a Goddess who, after the rise of monotheism, is battling to dethrone the dominant God of The Surface. In his struggle to retain his sanity and sense of self, Sym loses all things he holds dear, along with his autonomy.

That Drummer Guy (Interview)
In this interview, Shane and Taylor discuss Spirit Healer’s writing process, the concept behind Hollowform, and future plans for the band.
Immersive Atlanta
“From the intro riff, the song sweeps listeners into a trance, transporting them into a blurred view of the Surface. The driving drum and bass have that solid headbanging vibe with the added guitar licks building upon the vision of this new world. And when the vocals come in, the Surface in its entirety finally comes into focus.”
EVerything is noise
“Spirit Healer worked out a way to make a metal album with a djent timbre that doesn’t sound like another benign rehash of a rehash. On top of that, the band manages to create a nice diversity in the way they approach the dynamic of the sounds on the record.”
Gear GOds
