Death Whistle
I’ve become an anchor sinking in the sand
Human nature.. too much to understand
Imprisoned voices trapped in stone
Hollow just like the bones
Calling out to any who stray too close
Extending an invitation to this life’s conclusion
One gruesome solution.. Too accept it in my soul
Sanity warped; depravity and self destruction..
A call to arms to embrace a culling ov the self
War ov attrition; eroding coherence
The song ov suffering fading into perpetual silence
HARKEN THE END OV TIME
HARK THE END
Demonized by the taunting terror
Suffocating; leaving me breathless
Tormented by this haunting discordant
Depravity; leaving me breathless
How many times must I wish it?
Embrace from death
This mortal breath.. a pain so fucking vivid
To be alone in this life
A world ov demise
Immersed in black light, baptism ov twilight
Immersed in twilight.. A darkness so bright
This world has swallowed me whole
Immersed in twilight
This void swallows me
The will of life stripped for eternity
What have I become.. A hollow shell
Dragged down to hell
A life not mine anymore
Voices trapped in stone invoking my self destruction
Demonized shrieks of agony
Leaving me suspended in tragedy
A blissful silence, the will of life stripped for eternity
At last, the kingdom I longed for.. frozen in time
A land never ending, repetitious cycle
My nevermore
People dont realize theres actually a Real Aztec Death Whistle in the background of the breakdown. SO sick!
when? I cant hear it :(
The background layer that sounds like a scream is actually an Aztec death whistle! The Aztec created them to sound like a human scream as a form of psychological warfare against their enemies.
04:28 is a good place to hear it
I think people realize it lol
@@adamd.3571 yea no. they dont. You'd be surprised
2021 has literally been the best year for deathcore or just metal in general. It's always nice to see bands expand on their sound and really make themselves stand out.
This is a tough, *tough* call..
2019 still holds the title when you consider not only the releases, but the amount of resurrected bands that came back with unbelievable releases.
2021 is a _very_ close second so far. VERY close
Best year for music EVER imo. Most of my favourite bands have and will release music this year.
It's just good for metal and music in general Because i like rap. For example AJ Tracy's new album was 🔥🔥. I know people here probably don't like rap but i do 🤣🤣
You guys remember when The Cleansing came out? Man, things have progressed wildly.
@@FurorAeternumXBL
Fuck all that, look how far things have progressed since The Ills Of Modern Man
😳
gray sweatpants to really juice up that deathcore vibe
I think I’m pregnant now.
Everyone else lookin’ like they’re ready to film, David just woke up 😂
Kind of reminds me of The Dude from Big Lebowski
When you wake up and forget u got a video shoot but still look dope as shit
I'm glad they actually incorporated a death whistle in the song
💀 💨
@@bobbycrow3874 Bobby, what's going on with the upcoming tour's with Cory out of the band? You guy's still touring with another new guitarist?
@@RemmyRiffs our touring line up at the moment is David, Jeff, myself, and our fill in bassist Michael Cassese (you can find him on RUclips if you want to check him out!).
We’ve been jamming with Michael for a while, but obviously haven’t had the chance to hit the stage with him yet because of the pandemic, so I’m looking forward to that!
The band has gone through so many changes over the years, while it’s never ideal, we pride ourselves on being able to continue and grow from it. I can confidently say that our live show is a massive step up in every way from our last tour in Jan 2020 and we are all so excited to get back out there.
@@bobbycrow3874 Thanks for the response! Yeah it sucks how everything has gone down but it's great that you guy's are staying positive and already have everything sorted out. I'll be seeing you on your tour with BOO and Shadow of Intent. Excited to finally see you guy's live and needless to say I'm super hyped for the 24th when the new album drops!
Same haha
I think this is my favorite one yet
The extreme brutality is offset perfectly by the sparkly drumkit.
I read this high, holy smokes that's funny
Signs Of The Swarm: “Can’t wait to show everyone these cleans!”
Bassist: “Ight imma head out.”
Isn’t the bassist the drummer?
Also bro… It was funny I’m not taking what you said seriously.
Cory is gone too. Interesting he is in this video. Must have been filmed some time back
@@25stealthshooter p
The production of this album is perfect it’s got that McDonald’s sprite crispyness especially the drums 👌
That's a great way to describe it 🤣🤣
Whats up with the first track though?
I concur 100%, he's definitely stepped up...first time I have seen him do the alternating blast 🤯🤘🤘🤘. Confidence and morale on new levels
so crispy
No warning. This hit me like a sledgehammer. David and the boys bringing the heat. So filthy!
THOSE CLEANS... well this was out of the blue, this song bangs!! Can't wait for this album to be out man
Yessswww
Can't wait for the album, song definitely bangs. The cleans are pretty weak and don't contribute anything to the song. Absolutely nasty song. Bad decision to add the cleans though.
@@bestpersonever6253 I'll be honest, I didn't expect cleans. I did not expect the song to have cleans, i didn't think they're bad. The song slapped from start to finish
Producer: “How many breakdowns do you want guys?”
Signs Of The Swarm: “Yes.”
@@jasonjeelzebub420 you're wrong af
@@jasonjeelzebub420 being an blackned deathcore fan i love breakdowns
@@jasonjeelzebub420 X: "how many X do you want?" X: "yes" is a common meme format, denoting neither love nor hate, though i'd say i generally see it in a context that's kinda hard to read as "ugh, fuck. why tf would you ruin this wiht so many X?" so.
Everyone’s been sleeping on Signs Of The Swarm. Another fantastic song - album will be in my top albums of the year
The most accurate statement of the 2021
I don't think anyone has been sleeping on SOTS lol. This is one of the biggest band's in the genre right now.
@@RemmyRiffs
Oh yes the fuck they are.
The same way FFAA is being slept on until they release new shit.
Everyone is all about Lorna Shore, Whitechapel, Archspire (Well deserved) Shadow Of Intent, and everyone else
@@VileVengeance No...they aren't lol. You must not go to show's on the regular and talk to other people within the scene because everyone and their brother know's SOTS. Your not giving this band enough credit. Check their view count under all of their video's, check their listeners on Spotify, live show video's, how many people wear their merch at show's...these boy's are definitely out there in the public eye. There is a ceiling with this kind of music, SOTS will never be mainstream if that's what your looking for, but WITHIN this genre SOTS is most definitely recognized.
@@RemmyRiffs
You're telling me that SOTS is receiving more praise than
Slaughter To Prevail
Brand Of Sacrifice
Whitechapel
Lorna Shore
Shadow Of Intent
Etc...???
People are still talking about that outro from To The Hell Fire
David’s really settled into his vocal style 💀 Integrating cleans was ballsy in this elitist genre of deathcore/slam, and they were tasteful, meshing well with those filthy vox. Can’t wait for the rest of the album to drop ✊🏻
I agree but…I feel they could of been a bit louder, almost like you could tell they were scared to do the cleans but tried it anyway and just kept it quiet. But it was a nice way to introduce cleans and will say it definitely went well with what came next 🤪
deathcore is an elitist genre? i don't think so. this is actually a genre a lot of people shit on
@@breathelife662 true, the true elitists are death metal and heavy metal fans who won't listen to anything else
I didn’t like them, but I rarely like clean vocals. At least it was short. I also didn’t like the breakdown, especially the gliss-pick. I wish those could be left back in the mid 00’s where they belong. The rest of the track was 👍. It’s not CJ, though. 😒
*Edit: Ok… I’ve listened to this album all the way through multiple times now. I’ve changed my mind. I’m quite fond of it. Even the cleans. The vocalist is just as good as CJ, just in a different way. This is a great album.
I honestly skip the cleans but the rest of the album makes up for their presence so I forgive
So we all just gonna talk about the song and ignore one of the most evil, malevolent, esoteric, and obscure music videos in all of death metal? Fucking phenomenal
And how casual Dave dresses himself?
You know something about death whistles? or the Gypsy looking women in the video? please, tell us more oh wise one.
@@Jeudaos I don't know what this is supposed to mean
I hope that’s sarcasm.
The vocalist has a very distinctive style and I fucking love it.
The cleans really freshen the song up, adds great atmosphere. Also, the ending of this song is MASSIVE.
This band is reaching new levels of deathcore-ness, i love it.
Signs Of The Swarm with brutality and cleans combined in this one. "Absolvere" is definitely going to be a brilliant entry in their discography 🙌
4 exe. Vxe, Z ,,
"brilliant" 😂😂😂
This has to be my favorite SOTS track so far. The production, the structure, the riffs, the melodies, the sheer relentlessness... Absolvere is going to be my AOTY for sure
I agree with you this is by far my favorite track by them. Nothing against their old stuff they're just growing as a band and you can tell.
@@markyurt2nd918 Exactly, I loved their last two LPs, but this is just on another level
Nothing tops Nightcrawler for me but this is sick. I don't really fuck with the cleans though. I get really annoyed when bands with disgusting vocals add cleans. It's like they're trying to appeal to a wider audience but that wider audience doesn't even exist.
@@talesfromthemoribund702 Nightcrawler & Final Phase 💀
@@talesfromthemoribund702 Nightcrawler fucking slaps
I was so excited I was literally squealing when I saw on Instagram that this dropped. New favorite, obviously
Squealing?? uwu
@@WoeIsJesse cringe
Signs of the Swarm just brings themselves to a higher level, these guys perform heart and soul to bring forth such amazing tracks, mad respect, they definitely one of my fav bands for sure.
My eyes this entire song:
👀.
Perfection.
When nobody tells you you’re shooting a music video and you show up in your sweatpants
😂Joggers and Sweats daily
These guys have evolved exponentially since their last release. I've just been a fringe fan of SOTS to this point, but they've always had me enamored with their skill level. Now it's the fact their actual songwriting is next-level-not just their abilities-that has truly roped me in. They're now an artist that I willingly seek out and am enjoying thoroughly. I haven't enjoyed deathcore this much since I was in high school
This man has no business going this hard.
This song was an eternal breakdown, can't get enough of it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 David's vocals are just out of this world, such a gnarly and guttural tone 💪
SOTS sounds more and more like Humanity's Last Breath-Abyssal with each song, and I love it.
Humanity's Last Breath.....great stuff!
@@MarcelH666 awesome guys
Vildjarta!?
The Dali Thundering Concept? I love all these bands God bless you all🤜🤛
@@freeradicals4christ It sounds like HLB, i love Vildhjarta but the bands do differ
But how good have Signs of the Swarm become! Creative songwriting really stands out and David elevates the sound to another level. New favorite Vocalist.
They've actually gotten worse. Listen to their first 2 albums with the original vocalist. So much more raw & heavy with even better song structure and distinction between songs.
That actual death whistle sound at 4:17 is amazing 😍
Deathcore has blessed 2021🙌🏻
Ooh fresh discovery and lucky lucky me
Bobby just killing it. Keeps it simple but brutal in the breakdowns.
bobby of the swarm dude is a machine
This just changed my whole opinion of this band.
In a good way?
@@MetalcoreMan yes
What was your opinion before?
same here
Garbage to super garbage? Jk
Probably the most badass song I've ever heard.
Are they in a minecraft cave?
It's not commercial but it's quite modern. However, it is mostly proggy and the experimental, creative energy is so genuine, raw and all-encompassing that one simply cannot help but become engulfed in this track and totally consumed.
Great atmosphere, amazing band.
Very hevy. Signs of the Swarm brings another banger to this amazing year for deathcore
I'm gonna probably need David to collab with Will Ramos from Lorna Shore, with his lows on lock and Will's highs on lock they could make a fucking masterpiece
That's what i've been saying. The 2 of them on a song would literally bring the world to a end. And i love David's flemmy highs in Malevolent Enslavement 🤘🤘
If only CJ was still around.
Yes yes yes yes!
@@goblinkin Cj is on tier with will or better. Is gutterals are so much cleaner and can still do some crazy shit like will
@@TehEffinWabbajack he’s back!
These dudes are absolutely crazy live. David is an amazing live vocalist, and they sound even more sewagey in person
This is just a masterpiece...
David really has evolved with his vocals. Its much more brutal and deep! I LOVE IT!!
Would love to see a band do a full aztec themed album.
Anthropophagus depravity - apocalypto. Check it out, It's full-on mayan themed slam.
@@BackyardCardistry50 Thanks man, didnt see this until now I'll have to check it out.
@@SkeletonYuth69 no problem man
Might be one of my fav SOTS songs. The cleans were a great change up and made more contrast, and this song had a lot more groove rather than being just slam
love this band all.
One of the wittiest deathcore tracks I've heard in a long time. Very heavy song right here
4:55 is the reason why I am paralyzed. That breakdown sent me ☠️
the drummer of this band is fucking incredible
I swear he sounds like them zombies off black ops 1 !😳😳😳😍😍😍
Signs of the swarm are great
David is a brilliant vocalist
Wow this is shockingly brutal love it. Calms the nerves. The cleans patched you up like a band-aid. And then they pour salt on the wound. Then they resume ripping your world to pieces.
It's a new Era of Deathcore
Best lineup so far.
This is the best shit I’ve ever heard from them. Their vocalist is so damn unique sounding (every other deathcore band’s singer sound nearly identical). And this was somewhere between progressive and deathcore. Absolutely insane. A total masterpiece.
This literally stopped me from having a bad panic attack. Thank you boys🤘🏻♥️
@Hughge Poo Is that your actual name?
@Hughge Poo Is that your actual name?
@Hughge Poo yup
That breakdown is absolute hell.
this is how deathcore should be done! absolute perfection, love it! death wistle in the background
The end sounded like these boys were choking the desert itself to death
Make me goosebumps.. The vocal like a deathwhistle sound..
Vocals are dope as always
We not gonna point out how David is basically wearing sleepwear lmfao. Love it!!
So many twists and turns and breakdowns and the tempo changes was there even a tempo to begin with lol that final breakdown was filthy
bro those cleans (imo cleans work in some deathcore people just don’t realize yet look at “worm shepherd”-chasm dweller)
There's cleans but I really like em. Looking forward to seeing where the new lineup will take us!!
I love how animated Dave is as a vocalist, especially live.
Every thing about this band is so tight
Holy shit Hardcore Keem will destroy his room with that final breakdown, there goes another chair😨😱
Yep, can't wait to see his reaction lmao
Just discovered this dropped and I’ve already watched it four times. Absolutely 🔥 track dear lord.
ONE OF THE BADDEST!!!
IT JUST DOESN'T STOP.
Honestly, one of the best songs I’ve heard all year. The song alone is a 10/10, but that end breakdown makes it a 20/10 anyways. So dirty, heavy, mine blowing, all of that. I can’t wait for this whole album to drop 🔥
absolute fucking monster of a track. these guys deserve to be at the top of the game!
Let it be known. Today will go down in history. The first clean vocals to be in a SOTS track.
made it so much better tho. we have witnessed history boiz
That nasty ghghhhhhhhhhhdhdghhhghghgeeeeee at the end got me
These guys are killing it with back to back bangers! I'm so mad RUclips didn't notify me of thise until a whole day and a half later!!! This shit SLAPS!
For real for a long time i was done listening to this kind of metal. But they got me back into it. THAT GROWLS BRUH WTF
satan wishes he had a voice like this 🔥🔥🔥
that galloping drums at the end!!! Fuck yes
Signs bringing more and more hardcore influences, really looking forward for this record, sounds like it's gonna be the heaviest deathcore record of 2021
More than Lorna shore ? I think so
@@interlude44 Lorna Shore took of a more atmospheric/melodic side of the genre, signs is bringing the hardcore/slam influenced side which technically means more heaviness tho.
@@ThatShitGood good explanation definitely!!
Love the death whistle from 04:28 🖤😱 Banger of a track, lads !
this music is so chill i like it
Great song !!!!! & It's like David Growl on the drums
SOTS back at it again. Those cleans and that whistle 🤘🤘
LETS FUCKING GO SOTS last breakdown gave me tears from hell
@You are a sheep hmmm... painful, erratic, and melancholic;
But that was my hell, probably different from yours ^^
My soul left my body when it hit☠
All tri state area Hot Topics exploded with the release of this clip..... fantastic!
DAM YALL ARE KILLING IT!!
I'm blowin my death whistle 🖤
This is genuinely the sickest video I’ve seen in such a long time!! The visuals are stunning, and this song fucking rips!!! I can not WAIT to hear the whole album!
Jesus Christ Dave. Dude's a monster
Seems like metal bands are trying to outdo each other, and it is fantastic!🤘👹
Brutal como siempre, ya solo falta espera el álbum lml
LOVE THIS
When you think signs of the swarm is heavy and brutal. Then this absolute destruction of all existence comes along. Between the instruments, to the very unexpected cleans which work really well. Then the breakdowns just got heavier each time. With the name Death whistle this far exceeds anything I thought I could hear.
Fiest time a band tries cleans and it directly is dope
I bet David’s children will flourish in all aspects of life with such an amazing human as their father.
Set drum é muito bonita. Configuração usada aí pelo batera ficou muito legal. Lindo instrumento.
David’s vocals are so loud in the mix and it sounds amazing. You can’t do that with just any vocalist.
I keep coming back to this song, it's so fucking good.
idc what anyone says david’s vocals are wayyy better than the pee pee man
Peepee man? 😂
@@alldayhazelofi old SOTS vocalist cj aka the woman abuser
Nah cj is talented
Bro that last breakdown was not cool. I was standing up doing stuff just minding my own business listening to a nice song by nice boys and suddenly I’m crapping my pants. Unique Leader… you owe me money for a new pair of shorts do you hear me? You’re not gonna get away with this!
All time favorite is the breakdown with the death whistle being blown and him going at it 🤘😲😲😲😲😲🤘❤🙌
How many breakdowns do you want?
Sots: Yes
