Shadow of Intent was formed in 2014 as an internet-based project between vocalist Ben Duerr and instrumentalist Chris Wiseman. The band released their first EP called "Inferi Sententia" on July 18, 2014 and continued writing more music for the album that would be called "Primordial".
In 2015 the band started releasing more songs and followed up with full length album "Primordial" on January 10, 2016 which rapidly started gaining traction on the internet. Over the next year the album "Reclaimer" was written and the lineup changed gears adding live members to perform in the music videos and eventually live shows.
The second studio album "Reclaimer" was released independently in 2017, selling 1,300 copies in its first week, and to this day has amassed over a million streams. In October the band announced its debut performance in December which would sell out the Webster Underground in Hartford, CT. Shortly after, the band was recruited by JJ Cassiere of the booking agency 33 and West. He started putting the band on national tours with metal acts such as The Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel, Carnifex, Oceano and Fleshgod Apocalypse.

Produced by Josh Schroeder (Lorna Shore, King 810, Tallah, Varials), Signs Of The Swarm's latest album—Amongst the Low & Empty (2023)—is so destructively deafening, it blew out Schroeder's subwoofer and left their manager in hysterics laughing out loud at its brutality.
"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."
In the 1.5 years since its release, the Pittsburgh titans released a standalone single that took that to new heights. “IWONTLETYOUDIE” dropped in the midst of their monstrous “Decade of the Swarm Tour, ” celebrating, you guessed it, ten years of that very heavy—albeit in many mutations. It’s these ferocious fusions that have allowed them to play with acts like Lorna Shore, Thy Art Is Murder, Whitechapel, Cattle Decapitation, Carnifex and Archspire, rip European festivals between sold-out headline shows and more.
The buzzing in your ear ain’t tinnitus—well, actually, it might be that too—it’s the Swarm.
