Norwegian melodic metal newcomers Hollow Peak have officially signed a worldwide record deal with Massacre Records, and are set to release their debut full-length album “Obsidian Cult” on January 23rd, 2026, as Digipak CD, Limited Vinyl LP and digital.
To celebrate the announcement, the band unleash their brand-new single and video for “Attack” — an energetic and defiant anthem about survival and reclaiming control in times of turmoil.
Watch the lyric video for “Attack” below.
Through battle-inspired imagery and cinematic soundscapes, “Attack” captures resilience, courage, and the determination to rise from destruction. Blending fierce guitars, thunderous drums, and Ragnhild Westgaard’s commanding vocals, the track sets the tone for an album that combines intensity with emotional depth.
Produced by Ragnhild Westgaard and Marius Karlsen, and mixed and mastered by Corey Bergeron, “Obsidian Cult” marks a bold evolution from the band’s 2023 self-released EP. The record presents a heavier, darker, and more refined sound — balancing atmosphere, melody, and strength in equal measure.
The album’s concept explores alienation in the digital age, inner battles, and personal renewal. From the reflective opener “From Ashes Rises a Crown” to the haunting title track “Obsidian Cult”, each song unfolds as part of a larger journey between chaos and clarity.

1. From Ashes Rises a Crown
