Signs Of The Swarm release new music video for ‘Totem’
SIGNS OF THE SWARM have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Totem, is taken from the American deathcore band’s upcoming new album, Absolvere, which is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Unique Leader Records. The release of the new music video comes of the back of the release of standalone single, The Collection, which was released back in February.
Speaking about the new song, drummer/producer Bobby Crow says, “Totem is a solid cross section of what to expect from Absolvere. Crushing riffs collide with insane drumming, all layered underneath explosive yet memorable vocals. We turned Dave (vocals) up in the mix, yet it doesn’t take away from the musicality at all; it complements it. Oh yeah, and this is far from the heaviest track on the album, so get ready.”
On the video, vocalist David Simonich adds, “I’m incredibly proud not only of the music and lyrics but also the video we did with Eric DiCarlo of SquareUp Studios. I get super involved with the visual aspect of our videos. In this case, I worked on the burning book, body paint and hands. The hands grasping at me is a metaphor for us being pulled in different directions. The book is a reference to the line ‘bled my blood in the pages,’ which highlights us pouring our life into the band. The fire symbolizes how difficult dedication to the band makes managing the rest of our life. We wouldn’t have it any other way, though.”

Continuing to talk about the upcoming album, Bobby Crow says, “Absolvere makes good on the musicality we were striving for on Vital Deprivation and combines it with the eerie atmosphere and brutality on our first two albums. We added a myriad of new sounds, techniques and vocal styles as we collectively composed each song from the ground-up.”
