Signs of the Swarm Shares New Single Amidst Headlining North American Tour
In the midst of their stacked headline “Decade of the Swarm” Tour, Pittsburgh, PA Deathcore unit Signs of the Swarm have dropped new single “IWONTLETYOUDIE”—their first original music since 2023’s breakout LP Amongst the Low & Empty. The new song was once again produced by Josh Schroeder, whose subwoofer HAS been replaced since that album blew it on its would-be first full in-studio playback. Rumor has it he’s treating listening sessions of “IWONTLETYOUDIE” with caution—something the band didn’t do while writing the song.
“‘IWONTLETYOUDIE’ marks the beginning of a new chapter for Signs: a story of an endless cycle of death and resurrection,” reveals Signs of the Swarm drummer and main songwriter Bobby Crow. “We like to use the time between albums to explore new ideas and sounds. We did this on the ultra-heavy ‘Unbridled,’ the more moshy ‘The Collection’ (featuring guest shouts from Kublai Khan’s Matt Honeycutt and Molotov Solution’s Nick Arthur), and the eerily melodic crusher ‘Pernicious.’ ‘IWONTLETYOUDIE’ touches on all of those and more; our goal was to channel the energy of deathcore that got us excited about it in our younger year, so expect the explosiveness of ‘Amongst the Low & Empty’ but so much more!“
Fans have been getting a sneak peek at Signs of the Swarm’s monstrous (and aptly-named) headlining “Decade of the Swarm” Tour, which is currently underway. The North American run collides Sides 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.
European audiences will be next to hear the song live. The Pins and Knuckles Merch “Faces of Death” Tour features Signs of the Swarm’s djent-laden deathcore with Sumeriancore pioneers Veil Of Maya, plus the co-headlining duo joined by fellow PA pit pugilists Varials and vegan deathcore butchers To The Grave.

Produced by Josh Schroeder (Lorna Shore, King 810, Tallah, Varials), Signs Of The Swarm’s latest release – Amongst the Low & Empty – is so destructively deafening, it blew out Schroeder’s subwoofer!
“We’ve always been a deathcore band,” states Bobby Crow. “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.“
