HOLLOW WORLD RELEASE LIVE FILM CLIP FOR ‘PATIENT ZERO’
Melbourne metal band Hollow World have just shared a new clip for the third single off their debut album ‘Exanimate‘.

Patient Zero‘ was filmed during the band’s set as they supported Fleshgod Apocalypse in Melbourne last month by Miki Simankevicius.

The song is about the first human to become infected with the virus that ends up wiping out the human race. The song focuses on the severity of the victim’s symptoms and the way these are viewed by the medical staff treating him. The song sits early in the Exanimate album narrative, before the virus has spread to cause chaos globally.

You can check the film clip below, and catch Hollow World at Pelly Bar in Frankston on July 15th, Dead Of Winter Festival in Brisbane on July 29th and September 22nd at The Bendigo Hotel in Collingwood with Whoretopsy.
