* NobodyLovesTheBassist: They stopped having a consistent live bassist in mid-2018 once Jimmy's touring became more selective and stopped having one entirely in 2019 once he quit and used backing tracks after that (as Bobby moved back to drums), and it wasn't until 2021 when Jacob Toy moved to bass that they finally had a dedicated bassist again.

Signs of the Swarm is an American deathcore band. One of the figureheads of the slam/deathcore hybrid sound that emerged in the 2010s, they rapidly went from being just another Bandcamp/Chugcore/Slam Worldwide act to a rising star in deathcore.
Formed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 2014 by an early lineup that is not fully known, they started out as a strictly local act that never really played outside of the Pittsburgh area, but quickly became a local favorite. By 2015, their first fully known lineup had taken shape: CJ [=McCreery=] (vocals), Cory Smarsh, Jacob Toy (guitars), Collin Barker (bass), and Bobby Crow (drums) formed what would become their first recording lineup, and by early 2016, ''Senseless Order'' was out and was followed up with several short regional runs. Crow briefly left around this time, and Jimmy Pino (The Hopewell Furnace) quickly took his place; Crow's departure was short-lived, however, and after Barker also left, he jumped back in on bass. After a brief central Canadian run, the band made a very major announcement around the end of 2016: Unique Leader Records had picked them up, and they were releasing their sophomore full-length on the label. 2017 brought several more short tours, and by November, ''The Disfigurement of Existence'' had been released to great fanfare. 2018 wound up being their breakthrough year, as a lengthy US tour with Music/{{Ingested}}, a spot on the second half of that year's Devastation on the Nation, and a late summer run with Traitors all heralded in their jump into the touring big leagues; on a different note, a major lineup shift had also occurred, as CJ [=McCreery=] left the band to replace a departing Tom Barber in Music/LornaShore, and after Dave Simonich (Improvidence) jumped in as a fill-in on the Ingested headlining run, he was eventually announced as their new vocalist. New material is on the way as of the time of writing of this article, along with a Japanese run with Within the Ruins and Aversions Crown.

!!The band contains examples of the following tropes:
* AscendedExtra: Dave Simonich was a longtime friend of the band whose band (Improvidence) had played many early shows with Signs and was an easy choice for both a fill-in and a new vocalist.
* {{Deathcore}}: Along with Music/{{Ingested}}, Vulvodynia, and Within Destruction, they are the most well-known faces of the slam/deathcore hybrid sound that emerged in the 2010s, and of those, they are probably the furthest along the deathcore spectrum.
* IndecipherableLyrics: Dave and especially CJ are notorious for their extremely unintelligible lows, though Dickie Allen's guest spot on "Final Phase" manages to outdo even CJ in terms of being utterly impossible to understand, which people familiar with his work will tell you is par for the course.
* {{Instrumentals}}: "Guided into Serenity".
* LeadDrummer: Jimmy Pino is famous for his speed, technical ability, and precision, and particularly for his cymbal work and his extremely fast and precise footwork.
* MetalScream: CJ [=McCreery=] and Dave Simonich are both known for their gurgling Type 2 lows and squawk-like Type 3 highs; while their styles are fairly similar, Dave's lows are somewhat more bellow-like and less phlegmy, as well as being more clearly enunciated, while his highs are somewhat lower and less screechy than CJ's.
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Hard 10 to 11 for their entire career.
* NewSoundAlbum: ''The Disfigurement of Existence'' was more technical and featured far more varied arrangements with a greater focus on atmosphere, as well as reducing the prominence of the slam elements to some degree.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: Cory Smarsh.
* SpecialGuest: Chris Gonzalez and Dickie Allen (Infant Annihilator) have served as guest vocalists, and this is what Dave Simonich started as before being inducted in full-time.
* TeenGenius: Most, if not all of the founders were in their late teens when the band formed, and Jacob Toy was barely eighteen when he joined.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: How they largely feel about CJ, though in a more apathetic way at this point in time. They're still not particularly happy about how he left with little notice shortly before a very major tour and also have some bones to pick regarding certain personality traits of his, but they've settled on viewing it as water under the bridge because it's easier to let him be happy with Lorna Shore while they go on and do their own stuff with Dave, because while CJ may have quit to jump ship to a bigger band, they're doing just fine without him and there's no point in being mad at him at this point.
Formed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 2014 by an early lineup that is not fully known, they started out as a strictly local act that never really played outside of the Pittsburgh area, but quickly became a local favorite. By 2015, their first fully known lineup had taken shape: CJ [=McCreery=] (vocals), Cory Smarsh, Jacob Toy (guitars), Collin Barker (bass), and Bobby Crow (drums) formed what would become their first recording lineup, and by early 2016, ''Senseless Order'' was out and was followed up with several short regional runs. Crow briefly left around this time, and Jimmy Pino (The Hopewell Furnace) quickly took his place; Crow's departure was short-lived, however, and after Barker also left, he jumped back in on bass. After a brief central Canadian run, the band made a very major announcement around the end of 2016: Unique Leader Records had picked them up, and they were releasing their sophomore full-length on the label. 2017 brought several more short tours, and by November, ''The Disfigurement of Existence'' had been released to great fanfare. 2018 wound up being their breakthrough year, as a lengthy US tour with Music/{{Ingested}}, a spot on the second half of that year's Devastation on the Nation, and a late summer run with Traitors all heralded in their jump into the touring big leagues; on a different note, a major lineup shift had also occurred, as CJ [=McCreery=] left the band to replace a departing Tom Barber in Music/LornaShore, and after Dave Simonich (Improvidence) jumped in as a fill-in on the Ingested headlining run, he was eventually announced as their new vocalist. New material is on the way as of the time of writing of this article, along with a Japanese run with Within the Ruins and Aversions Crown.
