SWARM - The Nothing
Almost exactly a year after his earliest upload (a Malaa bootleg), Florida producer and midtempo terror SWARM unleashed "The Nothing." Arising out of an algorithm this track came to me unexpectedly, hunting me down like a creep in the night. It is outright dark, demonic and depraved, sewn into its artwork and the singular vocal "nothing you can be is more terrible than I am." It's part X-Files abnormality; part Saw sick, psychological warfare. The five and a half minutes reek of wickedness, through all its cinematic arcs: the hollow breathing, stabbing strings, and hell choir; each arriving directly from the dark. The minute and half piano finale, while beautiful, still leaves the spine tingling, wondering if the iniquity of "The Nothing" has really ended.
