Make way for THEY : SWARM

Rising from the ashes of WHORECORE, THEY : SWARM is the Phoenix of Israels DEATHCORE scene. Comprising of Nir Doliner (guitar), Tomer Jones (vocals), Assaf Meidan (drums), Ariel Ron (vocals), Eran Segal (guitar), and Yaron Shacham (Bass), they are a force to be reckoned with. The band has gathered a eclectic audience, with fans swarming from the metal and punk scene, as well as the hardcore scene. It is down to this that they have been labelled one of Israel's best live acts.

Protection, the album recorded as WHORECORE, is a masterpiece of brutality that has to be heard to be believed. With tracks like Sharing Together (coming in at under 2 minutes) and She's Wearing Their Skin doing the same amount of damage as a sledgehammer to the ear drums. Pop over to their myspace and check out the latter track to see what I mean and treat yourself to Fuelled By Causality from the new EP.

The following is a short history taken from the bands myspace page:

In early 2004 Haim Binyami came in to replace Yaron on the bass position. In January of 2006 the band self released their debut cd Protection in Israel, and on April went on a tour in Europe with Macabre and Jungle Rot. After having parted ways with original vocalist Ariel, the band took in long time friend Sven De Caluwe (of Aborted and Leng Tche) and returned to the classic two vocalist line up. Recently the band decided to rename to THEY : SWARM, which marks a new era for everyone in the band, fuelled with more anger, agression, inspiration & dedication, THEY : SWARM sets out to destroy everything within its path. NO BONE UNBREAKABLE!! The bands new EP, The Mundane Corruption sees its release on February 22nd (TODAY!!) & material is well under way to record a full length album late 2008 so keep your eyes open!

Keep you eyes on this blog for a review (as soon as I get my hands on the EP)
