The Swarm is the latest video/single from technical death metal architects, ALLEGAEON. The track comes off the band’s forthcoming new full-length, The Ossuary Lens, set for release on April 4 via Metal Blade Records.
Notes guitarist Greg Burgess of today’s The Swarm single, “This is a piece written by [guitarist] Michael Stancel. The frantic intro riff was actually written on tour in the UK on a boat in Bristol. I remember filming him playing it so we wouldn’t forget how to play it. The show was sold out and ruled, and then all of our gear got rained on because they had us load out so they could have a disco after the show. Shame!”
Remembers Stancel, “If I could have set that venue adrift I would have, at least we got a song out of it.”
