Pittsburgh, PA Deathcore unit, SIGNS OF THE SWARM have dropped a live version of their most popular song, ‘Amongst the Low & Empty’ from Whitechapel’s 2023 Christmas show. The audio from the board was mixed and mastered by producer Josh Schroeder (Lorna Shore, Varials)

On the single, drummer Bobby Crow explains: “We wanted to capture the energy of ‘Amongst the Low & Empty’ from the stage and bring it to
your headphones. The song has really taken on a life of its own on the road—serving as our new de facto opener and jolting the crowd with its immediate energy—all thanks to the fans. Special thanks to Whitechapel and the amazing crowd in Knoxville, TN for being part of this. And, yes, we’ll be opening with it on both the ‘Decade of the Swarm’ North American Tour and ‘Faces of Death’ European Tour.”

The aforementioned tours are approaching quickly—in just over two weeks and just over two
months, respectively. The North American run collides SIGNS OF THE SWARM with nu metalcore
trailblazers Cane Hill, fast-rising blackened deathcore blasphemers Ov Sulfur (fronted by Ricky
Hoover, formerly of Suffokate), nu metallic hardcore moshers 156/Silence and eldritch
blackened deathcore ghouls A Wake In Providence, who add a more gothic take on the genre.
The European trek finds SIGNS OF THE SWARM‘s djent-laden deathcore with Sumeriancore
pioneers Veil Of Maya, with the co-headlining duo joined by fellow PA pit pugilists Varials and
vegan deathcore butchers To The Grave.PINS AND KNUCKLES presents: Faces of Death Tour:25.10.24 – Engine Rooms, Southampton

David Simonich from SIGNS OF THE SWARM comments on the tour announcement: “We’re pumped to do a proper co-headlining tour in Europe and the UK after summer 2023’s awesome co-headlining mainland shows between festivals with Humanity’s Last Breath and our UK headliners with Mental Cruelty and Harbinger. We’ve all listened to Veil of Maya for AGES, so to be billed beside them is an honour! Varials are a fellow Pennsylvania band, so we’ve been pals for quite a while and their moshy metalcore is going to be a nice complement to all the deathcore. To the Grave ripped North America with us and Carnifex, then after that lineup finished they joined us up the west coast and across Canada, so it’s going to be great to conquer another part of the world with them. This tour is truly stacked, and we’re excited to add another side to the already-iconic Faces of Death brand!”
ABOUT SIGNS OF THE SWARM:
Produced by Josh Schroeder (Lorna Shore, King 810, Tallah, Varials), SIGNS OF THE SWARM‘s latest full-length offering, Amongst the Low & Empty, is the first SIGNS OF THE SWARM album to feature an outside producer. “We’ve always been a deathcore band”, states BobbyCrow. “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.”Purchase and stream Amongst the Low & Empty now here.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. Trivium mastermind Matthew K. Heafy even sent over a guest shout for ‘The Witch Beckons’.
