Signs of the Swarm - Absolvere (2021) Hi-Res

If you’re a fan of deathcore, or heavy music in general, I’m sure you’ve heard of Pittsburgh 5-piece, Signs of the Swarm, by now. The band emerged in the mid-2010s and quickly caught the attention of anyone that happened to hear them and their arsenal of sonic chaos. Well, after 3 albums, a few tours and a vocalist change, they’re back with their fourth full length record, Absolvere.

Overall, Absolvere is a fantastic deathcore album full of all the familiar sounds of dread, despair, hell and death the fans know and love while managing to keep it fairly fresh and fun. The vocals are commanding, the drums are unstoppable, the breakdowns are violent and the riffs will have you jumping through your ceiling. Signs of the Swarm have shown us, once again, why they’re one of the top acts out there today and that they don’t plan on slowing down any time soon.
