Ov Hollowness signs with Hypnotic Dirge Records

November 8, 2012

*Originally Posted June 8, 2012

Hypnotic Dirge Records has signed a deal with the one-man project from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada 'Ov Hollowness' and will be releasing the band's sophomore release Drawn to Descend. In mid 2010, Ov Hollowness self-released their debut album 'Diminished' which received good reviews from fans and critics alike, and was distributed by labels around the world. Now, Hypnotic Dirge Records is pleased to welcome Ov Hollowness to the HDR family in time for the release of Drawn to Descend which is a fantastic album and a logical evolution from the sound of the debut album Diminished.

You can read more about this project and listen to song samples on the newly created OV HOLLOWNESS PROFILE.

Obviously the version on their website is in Dutch so is unreadable to the majority of English speakers. Therefore, I have decided to also publish the interview in English. You can read it below:

Hello Nick. Thank you for this interview. You are...

1. Hells Skog, as the owner of one the most consistent and focused record labels I was wondering what motivated you to start a label? What do you look for in an artist when you are considering which bands to sign? How big of a factor does money play into it? How many demos do you regularly receive?

Hey Brad! Originally, the idea to start Hypnotic Dirge Records was simply born out of a desire to be able to release my own music and be in contro...
