Soundscape of Emotions is the debut album by the Brazilian band Hollowmind, based in São Paulo. As the title already suggests, the album was conceived as a soundtrack for the simplest to the deepest feelings of the human being. Introspection, hopelessness, affection and anguish are some of the feelings found in the lyrics of Soundscape of Emotions, creatively highlighted by the subtitles that supplement each track title. The themes of the songs are all authentic and “are based on my personal experiences and observations”, explains vocalist and bass player Roberto Gutierrez, who wrote all ten songs of the album. “Nevertheless, I think the lyrics could be easily associated to personal experiences from anyone that listens to the songs”, Gutierrez adds. The album, produced by Udo Stramm, carries a good balance of the power and energy of heavy metal and the musical sensitivity and emotion commonly found in progressive rock songs. Inspired by Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, Rush and Queens
