Hollowmind’s history dates back to the year of 1993, when Roberto Gutierrez and Alexandre Silveira were together in another band, along with drummer Daniel Salles, guitar player and vocalist Roberto Nabhan and Alexandre Hino on keyboards.
After some gigs and some changes in the line-up, the band adopted its current name. Later, with Gutierrez taking over the vocals and introducing Alessandro Rosa on guitars, the band successfully performed several times in the greater São Paulo area.
In 1996, Hollowmind was disbanded. However, in the years that followed, while participating in parallel projects, Gutierrez was still dedicating himself to the writing of the songs that are currently part of Soundscape of Emotions.
In 2002, Gutierrez managed to re-establish Hollowmind with guitar player André Hemsi and drummer Mauricio Magaldi (former member of VersOver and Widow). After some additional line-up changes, Alexandre Silveira rejoined the band.
Gutierrez and Silveira worked together to give final shape to the songs and decided to finally get into the studio for the album’s definitive recording sessions. During post-production, the current line-up was completed with drummer Felipe Gomes joining the band. |
