Signs Of The Swarm release new music video for ‘Hollow Prison’

SIGNS OF THE SWARM have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Hollow Prison, is taken from the Us modern deathcore band’s upcoming new album, Absolvere, which is scheduled to be released in September this year. The new song features a guest appearance from DESPISED ICON‘s Alex Erian.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist David Simonich says, Hollow Prison is one of our collective favourites on the album. It brings together all the key elements of SIGNS OF THE SWARM, while expanding to complement Alex Erian’s vocal style and delivery. That’s not to say this is DESPISED ICON worship, though all deathcore kind of is in a way, rather we siphon that through what makes us who we are. It’s one of the moshiest songs we have. Lyrically, it talks about being captive in our mortal shell, awaiting the inevitability of death as repetition slowly eats us away. Add the cycle of despair to ‘death and taxes.’ It’s a challenge to everyone to break that cycle and transcend disillusionment.”

Alex Erian of DESPISED ICON adds, “I said yes as soon as I heard the song, and I don’t agree to features often – especially these days. DESPISED ICON was on a break due to lockdown, things at work were also on hold, and I was spending way too much time home alone. Collaborating on this track with David and the boys was my outlet. I hope you dig it. SIGNS OF THE SWARM are the future of deathcore in my book.”

Absolvere is set for release on September 24th via Unique Leader Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
