Hollow Jan - Hyacinthus Orientalis of Purple (2005)

Hollow Jan are a South Korean screamo or post-hardcore or something band. Whatever genre you want to peg them as they fucking rule. Loud-ass hell but also got some really pretty twinkly guitar parts. Saw them live a few times back in the day and they ruled every time. This is their first EP.
