Totem

Dead limbs reach toward..
Toward my tainted, bastard blood
I give unto thee to forever be bound by blood..
My eternity, against what hell could conjure
I bled my blood in the pages
Letting my name rot for the ages
To dwell in this realm forever
Bringing life to the dying embers
I AM THE LIE
The crown ov nails rusts to my flesh
Riddling me with burden upon every breath
Shrieks ov horror echo through the mountains
Empty though I’m surrounded by thousands
Focusing vision, now I can finally see
Rising from hell, bound to thee
I am a totem to your misery
Come to me as I rot in history
I give unto thee, come to me
Bringing life to the dying embers
As I rot in the sand ov history
From bastard to martyr I shall consume your pain
A totem of misery, I am your false hope
To carry you through this hell
In death, I shall remain with my bastard blood
Stained upon the crown that shall be handed down..
To suffer amongst kings
Bringing life to the dying embers
As I rot in the sand of history
From bastard to martyr I shall consume your pain
A totem of misery I am your false hope
To carry you through this hell

I like how each member of SotS is a different style of metalhead

[gabrielmesones]

Ok something big is happening to Deathcore this year, it's banger after banger from top bands, I'm excited

[garielsMsg]

This tune really hit home for me. The part when he says, "grigrawgrobleeblahblee". Got me in the feels, ya know? Some one gets me.

[jj_sakoo]

I just love those poetic lyrics:
"Shrieks of horror echo through the mountains
Empty though I’m surrounded by thousands"
So fucking good

[gregorydooley]

Lorna Shore with their banger of a single, now Signs with this BANGER of a track. 2021 is one hell of a year for deathcore

[Kommunist_Kittens]

I have never listened to signs of the swarm before this... But this song is absolutely an S tier banger, the instrumental is solid AF providing that perfect atmospheric balance and the vocals are ON POINT. I listened to this song on repeat 5 times reading all the lyrics going along with him and his annunciation and bounce is nothing short of god tier, solid song solid band I'm extremely excited for y'all's next album now

[SquareUpStudios]

God do I love everyone involved in the making of this.

[thesadsealelectricboogalo]

Dave is the best thing to happen to this band. An absolute monster of a vocalist, and altogether a great guy. I've seen him perform live twice, and he doesn't disappoint.

[Chevyonline]

This is fantastic. David is such a crazy good vocalist. The whole song is amazing. Damn. Can't wait for the new album

[OvSulfur]

HELL YES BOYS, CRUSHING THE COMPETITION (Including us! Haha).

[SleepyTurtlezz]

In this video David looks like if mitch lucker and joji had deathcore love child

[Ktulured]

WOW. This song CRUSHED! As great as Pernicious and The Collective were... this song is on an entirely new level. Jacob playing that bass and with fingers too! Impressive for a guitarist! Love the new line up and cannot wait to see it live. So excited for the new album! See you on the road guys!
BEWARE THE SWARM

[roryphares]

I’m commenting before the song has even started because i’m aware of the swarm.

[JewishCircumcision]

Dave is probably my favorite of their vocal lineup. So dark sounding with enunciated words, just not easy to understand . Really like just toning his voice down in studio

[theMADTXgamer]

Today i found out my favorite band has an album coming, then they drop their single. What a day. You guys are the sickest! Cant wait for the album

[whispersfromthevoidband]

So stoked for this record. The hype is real. Dudes keep churning out banger after banger.

[abysses]

A year or two ago, your guys’ music single handedly brought me back into slam. I can’t thank you enough.

This song has risen to one of my all time favorites. In fact, I love all of the bands songs but this one hits a sweet spot hahaha.

[IlluminatiAnimation]

All three of the singles are so different in sound and structure. That's beyond a great thing. Stoked to hear the full album

[gundam]

I really wish public places would play music like this all day than the normal stuff! this is a really cool band.

[TodaysLastTragedyOfficial]

that side chain is off the chain <3
