Swarm Of The Lotus Is Breaking Up

This is sad news indeed. Last year in 2005, Swarm Of The Lotus released the critically acclaimed “Sirens Of Silence” which I quickly obtained and was quite impressed with. “Sirens Of Silence” was produced by Kurt Ballou, giving the album and intentionally raw but extremely good and fitting production. After releasing that album, Swarm Of The Lotus would be named alongside bands such as Converge, Mastodon, and Isis. Swarm Of The Lotus does not sound like any of the aforementioned bands, but they certainly would fit in with fans of those bands.

Many of the lineup changes focussed around Pete Maturi, which seemed to be something hinted at with his explanation of why Swarm Of The Lotus is breaking up.
