TALONS are an instrumental six-piece, who call the backwater town of Hereford their home. Forging the explosive energy of hardcore, the subtleties of post-rock and the complexities associated with math-rock, Talons possess a fascinating sense of urgency and drive, with a sound that both soothes and savages in equal measure. Comprised of eight brand new tracks, Hollow Realm was written as a single piece of music and combines all the elements we’ve come to love from Talons; the beautiful highs, the crushing lows and of course, the massive riffs.

- Gripping stuff. Kind of makes me wonder how much more insane it would be with some commanding vocals…
