Hailing from Tennessee, USA, Quiescent Mantis is geared up to unleash primal fury with their debut album “Here Comes The Swarm” produced by Yanic Bercier (Quo Vadis, Gone In April) at WaveTransform Recording Studio and due out on July 19th on Exitus Stratagem Records. The genre-defying release blends elements of hardcore, thrash, death, and metalcore into a whirlwind of relentless aggression.

“With this album, it truly shows not only how we come together as musicians but as storytellers. This album is all the best elements of thrash metal and science fiction horror movies put into one single package. ‘Here Comes The Swarm’ is the sound we created to release the swarm to the world.”

The band continues to explain that their goal is to give listeners the thrill of discovering metal for the first time. The writing process for this album was fueled by their collective stress, frustrations, and the challenges we all face, all brought to life through heavy, groovy, and relentless music. Each song is its own beast, crafted to evoke intense emotions and a sense of discovery.

Lyrically, the band draws inspiration from science fiction films like “Alien”, infusing their music with underlying themes and a touch of humor. Jordan McKenzie spearheads the lyrical compositions, weaving together narratives that reflect the struggles and triumphs of everyday life. The album artwork is a look into the hive and the queen mantis and what she has done to the humans taken back to the hive welcoming (if you can call it that) to the swarm. The album is recommended for fans of Orbit Culture, Havok, Power Trip, and Pantera.
