SolNegre - The Hollow Inside [Official Lyric Video]
Released on March 3, 2026 by Meuse Music Records.
---------------
SolNegre is a Doom/Death Metal band from Balearic Islands (Spain).
The band was formed in 2022 by Gebre and Rigel, bandmates since 1995 and founders and composers on the Doom Metal sextet Helevorn.
They are surrounded in the project by Tom (formerly drummer in the legendary doom band Golgotha) and Ûkh.
The musical inspiration is taken from the old school greats of Doom/Death metal from the ’90s, referring to well-known bands, but keeping a very personal approach.
All the lyrical content and the conceptual canvas come from personal experiences fighting trauma, anxiety and a highly functional depression.
---------------
'Anthems For The Grand Collapse' is a collection of deep reflections about aging, physical and mental decay, personal frustration for all the un-accomplished and a deep reflection on a hard life lived hand to hand along with an imposter syndrome.
The album also includes the first-hand account of lysergic and transcendental visions coming from episodes of deep existential crisis, personal failure and rejection.
The 40+ minutes heaviness, composed by 5 songs, verse on the deep wish to dissolve and to return to a source beyond the veils of time, where there is no pain, no rejection, and no suffering.

Lyrics:
(Or Emptiness as a living pressure that never leaves.)
I walk among the shadows, without finding the light,
a voice in the silence that makes no sound.
This emptiness in my chest is where I reside,
an Empty Echo—the Hollow Inside.
If you are afraid, sit next to me.
I will be watching the fire.
If you are cold, sit next to me.
You look defeated and tired.
Hail to the Hollow Inside.
I am the one who walks through your emptiness,
that grows like a pest in silence.
Do not take your eyes off me—if you are forsaken,
it is because something remains undone.
Echoes—silent echoes that haunt you.
Echoes—silent echoes that haunt you.
Loneliness fills the gaps like water,
and as it grows, you drown.
A room without doors or windows—
knowing how to swim is wise.
Drink this wine,
where the stars are dim.
Breathe this air.
Behold the hollow inside.
