Entombed Hollowman

Hollowman
The hollow sky is red
the race is on
faces are all dead
the race is on.

It’s just a matter of time

Bedrooms are tombs
cradles are coffins
tears I cannot shed.
a matter of time
a matter of slugs
til’ the rats are fed.

Who examines the doctors!

I’m the hollow man

It’s just a matter of bullets
in hollow brains
as I wander slowly
thru bullet rains

My hollow eyes
are staring down the hole.
jesus, satan, hitler
bought my soul.

It’s rotten and sour
but it’s inside of me.
I got faith in the end
but you just can’t see.

Line-up:

Nicke Andersson - Drums, guitar
Lars Göran Petrov - Vocals
Uffe Cederlund - Guitar, tambourine
Lars Rosenberg - Bass
Alex Hellid - Guitar

Produced by Entombed and Tomas Skogsberg
Engineered by Tomas Skogsberg
Recorded at Sunlight Studios, Stockholm 1992/1993

There are three different audio versions of the album. The first one had samples
in the songs “Eyemaster,” “Rotten Soil,” and “Out of Hand.” The second (with the
comic book promotion) and third versions deleted the samples, and the second
also edited the song “Hollowman.”

Also released with Marvel’s Wolverine on cover. What’s funny about this is that
Entombed never wanted their album to be related to the Marvel Comics superhero; Earache Records, without their permission, made a deal with Marvel and used
Wolverine to promote the album to the mainstream audience. This can explain how Entombed became a household name to rock fans.
