Swarm of the Lotus utilize loads and loads of agonized screams and some of the best discordant elements of the hardcore guitar sound. Mixed with slow doom like Sleep or Yob resulting in agonized songs that are ready to burst by the end or they choose the faster groove with rhythmic syncopation.

Caustic, abrasive and technical, Swarm of the Lotus tread the same fine line of musical boundaries as Mastodon, Uphill Battle, Burst, Burnt By the Sun and even Soilent Green. What struck me most about Swarm of the Lotus is the discordant and chaotic noise never seems to be radically off key or push the limits of technicality; their sound, while certainly complex and discordant, retains an earthy, molten punch that makes each song physically memorable.
