Hollow Haze is an Italian heavy metal band that has firmly established itself in the metal scene through a combination of robust musicianship and an evolving sound that embraces power metal's epic scale with progressive metal's complexity. Founded in 2003 by guitarist Nick Savio, Hollow Haze navigated through various lineup changes early in their career, with Savio's skilled guitar work and songwriting serving as the consistent core of their sound. Over the years, the band has seen a number of vocalists, with Fabio Lione (known from Rhapsody of Fire) serving as a guest in the early days, and later members like Mats Leven and Rick Altzi (Masterplan) contributing to their dynamic vocal legacy.

Drawing from thematic inspirations akin to fantasy and mythology, as well as personal introspections, Hollow Haze has progressively built a strong discography, with their more recent work demonstrating a mature and refined approach. Albums such as "Between Wild Landscapes and Deep Blue Seas" (2019) showcase the band's penchant for catchy melodies, intricate guitar work, and soaring choruses, enveloped in a polished production that brings each song's emotive story to life. Their ability to blend the grandiosity of classic metal with contemporary sonic clarity is a testament to their growth and dedication to the genre. Earlier records like "Memories of an Ancient Time" (2015) and "Poison in Black" (2012) also reflected the band's ambition and skill, cementing their reputation not just in the Italian metal circuit, but on the international stage as well. With a fervent fanbase and a discography that continues to impress, Hollow Haze stands as a testament to the enduring power and evolution of metal music.
