Led Zeppelin Legacy Continues: John Bonham’s Grandson Debuts New Band Hollow Pact!

Stepping into a new chapter of his musical journey, Jager Henry — the grandson of legendary Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham and son of Jason Bonham — emerges from the shadows of rock royalty to carve out his own identity. His new project, Hollow Pact, marks a definitive shift from solo artist to frontman of a rising hard rock force.

The band, featuring Henry on vocals, Niño on guitar, Cash Lane on bass, and Michael Rose on drums, was born from the raw chemistry developed during Henry’s earlier solo work. Their debut single, “Heavensent,” is a thunderous cocktail of hard rock, metal, and industrial influences, driven by Henry’s emotionally charged vocal delivery.

“The music always felt right to me, but releasing it under my own name never did,” Henry shares. “It was never about who I was — it was about the emotion behind the songs. Working with Niño, Cash, and Michael helped me fully realize that, and from there, Hollow Pact was born.”

A Visual and Sonic Statement

To mark the release of “Heavensent,” Hollow Pact dropped a gritty, high-impact music video directed by Lost Noise. The visual, featuring the masked band performing the track in a stark, dimly lit room, captures the band’s raw energy and stripped-down intensity — a clear statement of identity from a group intent on doing things their own way.

While the band may be new in name, their presence is already growing. Hollow Pact is locking in tour dates for 2025 and beyond, with a highly anticipated performance at Warped Tour in Orlando, Florida this November. The show will be their fourth since the rebrand — and the live debut of “Heavensent.”

A Sound Carved in Chaos and Clarity

Formerly performing under the name Jager Henry, the band has already made waves on festival stages like Aftershock and Louder Than Life, sharing bills with acts like Seven Hours After Violet, Bloodywood, Static Dress, BSD, and Ocean Sleeper. But as Hollow Pact, their sound has crystallized — a visceral blend of aggression and atmosphere that swings from unrelenting chaos to haunting calm in a single breath.

Jager’s vocal performance is at the heart of it all: from throat-shredding screams to feather-light melodies, he delivers each line like an open wound, connecting with anyone who’s ever wrestled with inner turmoil.

As for the decision to part ways with his famous last name, Henry explains: “I was always talked about because of it. So I thought — why not change it up a little? I swapped my last name with my middle name, and it just had a nice ring to it.”

With new music on the way and a steady climb through the rock underground, Hollow Pact is more than just a band — it’s a vessel for catharsis, an outlet for the unspoken, and a battle cry for anyone who’s ever felt unheard.
