Italian experimentalists Hollow Bone enter the dreamworld of »Onar« with new single »Innocence«!
Following the announcement of their signing with Argonauta Records imprint Octopus Rising, Italian experimental post-metal outfit Hollow Bone now reveal »Innocence«, the latest single taken from their upcoming second studio album, »Onar«, due for release on October 9, 2026 through Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records on CD and digital formats.
With »Onar«, Hollow Bone move deeper into the atmospheric and conceptual side of their sound, presenting an album shaped around dreams, transformation and spirituality. The title comes from the Greek word ὄναρ (ónar), meaning dream or vision, a concept that lies at the very heart of the record.
For Hollow Bone, dreaming is not approached as an abstract or purely symbolic idea, but as a profound human experience capable of offering direction, revealing perspectives and inspiring a deeper sense of humility and respect. The connection is particularly personal, as each of the album’s compositions originated from a dream experienced by the band, giving the record a distinctive conceptual thread that runs through all seven tracks.
Musically, »Onar« continues to develop Hollow Bone’s distinctive combination of post-metal, electronics and downtempo influences, with complex layers and carefully constructed atmospheres shaping an album intended to be experienced as a whole. Rather than presenting seven isolated songs, the record has been conceived as a continuous piece, with the tracks flowing into one another and creating a single evolving sonic landscape.
The voice also occupies an unusual position within this framework. Used primarily as a sonic element rather than a conventional vehicle for narrative, it becomes part of the album’s wider textural architecture, reinforcing its introspective and imaginative character.
The world of »Onar« extends beyond sound alone. The album’s visual dimension has been developed through collaborations with artists Kurokawa Toru and Andrea Baldelli, together with graphic designer Francesca Papasodaro, adding another layer to a project conceived as a unified artistic work.
