This August/September, Pittsburgh deathcore unit Signs of the Swarm will headline North America both in celebration of a decade as a band and for the first time properly within that timeframe. In tow will be 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.
“TEN YEARS of relentless dedication, 5 albums and nearly 1,000 performances later, we are thrilled to bring you an explosive celebration for a decade of the band’s survival; our first ever proper North America headline tour will be the DECADE OF THE SWARM,” comments drummer Bobby Crow. “We are preparing a career-spanning set list and top notch production alongside some of our best friends that we’ve made over the years.
“On a personal note, I’ve spent more than 1/3rd of my life creating and performing music with Signs of the Swarm, and I’ve never been more grateful to be a part of this journey than I am right now.
“So come and join us on our crusade across North America for a night of heavy music, built from the ground up, for the fans.”

Produced by Josh Schroeder (Lorna Shore, King 810, Tallah, Varials), Signs Of The Swarm‘s latest release – Amongst the Low & Empty (2023) – 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.”
