Dark Alternative Metal / Post-Hardcore
Hollow Crown
Every kingdom has its ruins.
Listen NowAbout
Hollow Crown is a five-piece dark alternative metal band from Portland, OR. They blend crushing guitar walls, cinematic synth textures, and emotionally volatile vocals into anthemic, lore-driven music. Their mythology centers on "The Sunken Court" — a fictional fallen dynasty where power, grief, and identity are intertwined — explored across their discography like chapters of a novel. Think Sleep Token's ritualistic mystique meets Deftones' dream-state heaviness with Spiritbox's raw vocal dynamism. Signed to Apex Sound Group in early 2026 for full label development and global distribution.

Live Performances
The Band
Vera Vale
Lead Vocalist
Intense, poetic, fiercely intelligent. She walks into a room and the air changes.
Declan Rhys
Lead Guitar
Quiet, obsessive, precise. He says more in a guitar tone than in a conversation.
Sable Moon
Rhythm Guitar / Synth
Charismatic, irreverent, and secretly the most perceptive person in the room.
Marcus Tyde
Bass
The steadiest human being in the band. Unflappable, methodical, and deeply warm.
Neils Cross
Drums
High-energy, technically terrifying — plays like he has something to prove every single take.
