Biography

Formed in the North East of England in the late 70's, Hollow Ground became one of the cutting edge groups of the N.W.O.B.H.M. period. Although they only released six tracks, these have come to be considered classics of the genre. [ [http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:fnfrxqygldte~T1 Hollow Ground at AllMusic] ] In 1980 they released the "Warlord" EP on Guardian Records containing the tracks "Flying High," "Warlord," "Rock On" and "Don't Chase the Dragon." This 7" record is highly sought and now changes hands for £200 in mint condition. [ [http://rockdetector.com/artist,4166.sm Hollow Ground at RockDetector] ] Later in 1980, a further two tracks ("Fight with the Devil" and "The Holy One") were recorded and were used along with "Rock On" and "Flying High" on the "Roksnax" compilation album also on Guardian Records. Four more tracks were recorded, "Rock to Love", "Promised Land," "Easy Action" and "Loser", but never released. In 1990 the track "Fight with the Devil" was included on the Lars Ulrich/Geoff Barton compilation album "NWoBHM '79 Revisited" on Metal Blade Records. The original "Warlord" EP tracks can also be found on the compilation CD "Rare Metal - NWoBHM Metal Rarities Vol. 1" on British Steel Records, released in 1996.

Singer Glenn Coates left Hollow Ground to join Fist in 1982 for their "Back with a Vengeance" album. This defection signalled the end for Hollow Ground.
