SWARM6IX
Provide a safe space for those that have always appeared anti-social, dormant, and introverted on the surface. The band acquired their unique identity by combining a love for heavy trap and metal music and stand strongly for the freedom of expression within art. SWARM6IX execute a sound somewhere between Ghostemane and Emmure, yet simultaneously evoke nostalgia and familiarity. Adding a sprinkle of modern nu-metal, SWARM6IX have their red beam set to storm the scene with everything they have in their artillery and will not be stopped. Following on from huge singles such as 'd0pamine', 'LIP$TICK' and more which were all spun by BBC Radio 1, and coverage with Loudwire, Metal Hammer, Kerrang and more, Swarm6ix release new single 'Blood $oda' next month on label Out Of Line Music. Having already played Collision Fest and Tech Fest and shows with Seething Akira, Overthrone, InRetrospect and Polar, the band will now tour with Defences later this year.
