Signs Of The Swarm: guarda il video di ‘Malady’ dl nuovo album “Amongst the Low & Empty”
Comunicato stampa:
Il 28 luglio 2023 i SIGNS OF THE SWARM pubblicheranno il loro quinto album “Amongst the Low & Empty”, tramite Century Media Records. È disponibile un’ulteriore anteprima dell’album con il nuovo singolo “Malady”, accompagnato da un videoclip diretto da Joey Durango:
Il commento del cantante David Simonich:
“Questa canzone parla delle mie battaglie con la depressione. Quel momento della mia vita mi ha ricordato quello che avevo passato, ed è diventato il carburante per ‘Malady.’ La canzone mi ha spinto ad essere vulnerabile in studio, esprimendo i miei pensieri e le emozioni al mio produttore per dipingere il quadro che stavo cercando.”
Il commento del batterista Bobby Crow:
“Ho voluto creare una canzone oscura e primitiva per abbinare i testi di Dave. Visto che ‘Malady’ è un sinonimo di ‘malattia’ volevo che la canzone fosse abbastanza orecchiabile da infettare l’ascoltatore per poi deteriorarsi nel tempo. La canzone raggiunge un climax, crescendo di intensità mentre si trasforma in una cacofonia rumorosa. Non riesci nemmeno a pensarci, poi è finita.”

Produced by Josh Schroeder (Lorna Shore, King 810, Tallah, Varials), Amongst the Low & Empty is the first Signs Of The Swarm album to feature an outside producer. Massive, unapologetic and unrelenting in its assault, this fifth full-length keeps listeners on the edge of their seat. Songs like the title track, “Pray For Death” and “Malady” put to shame the slamming “br00tality” of sophomore LP The Disfigurement of Existence, with vocalist David Simonich’s animalistic growls and screeches outdoing any swarm, pack, or otherwise, found in the wild. Despite the savage brutality, the leader of this herd IS the structure that is simultaneously more rigid yet more explorative, complete with a catchy groove underneath – the likes of which hasn’t been heard from Signs Of The Swarm. It’s the bedrock that allows “Tower of Torsos,” “DREAMKILLER” and “Pray For Death” to be as catchy as they are. Songs like “Shackles Like Talons” and “Fire and Stone” split the difference incisively. On the more cacophonous side, industrial flirtations were added both in-studio by band and producer, and beyond, with Joshua Travis (Emmure, Glass Cloud, The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza) and Cameron Losch (Born of Osiris) throwing riffs and ruckus into the mix (“At one point, Joshua Travis was recording a chainsaw in his backyard,” the band reveals). Trivium mastermind Matthew K. Heafy even sent over a guest shout for “The Witch Beckons”.
The resulting 11 tracks are so destructively deafening, it blew out Josh Schroeder’s subwoofer! “We’ve always been a deathcore band,” states Bobby Crow, the quartet’s longest-standing member, who serves as drummer and main songwriter. “But this record is a lot MORE – it’s got death metal, metalcore, djent, some industrial stuff…We wanted to make something that was just heavy.”
Upon album release, Signs Of The Swarm will play several special shows in the USA, then head overseas for the summer; European fans can catch them at some of the biggest festivals, in addition to co-headlining off-dates with Humanity’s Last Breath and more. To finish off the season, Signs Of The Swarm will trek to the UK for a headliner with To the Grave and Harbinger. See below for all dates!
