Industrial/dark electro force SWARM marks his official arrival on Out Of Line Music with the release of his new single “Who Will Save You Now”, unveiled today alongside a full music video. The track is SWARM’s first output through the Berlin‑based label, home to artists such as Till Lindemann, The Bloody Beetroots, and Aesthetic Perfection.
Cold, suffocating, and meticulously constructed, “Who Will Save You Now” threads together serrated electronic textures with a cinematic sense of dread. Written, produced, mixed, and mastered entirely by Brandon Thomas Carroll, the mind behind SWARM, the track moves with surgical precision — a controlled descent into industrial weight and pitch‑black atmosphere.
Lyrically, the single dissects the anatomy of toxic obsession. It follows the gravitational pull of something destructive, the voyeuristic distance of the observer, and the quiet horror of watching someone slip beneath the surface. The recurring line “Are you drowning? No‑one will save you now” functions as both refrain and judgment, tightening its grip with each return.
The signing and single arrive during a period of rising momentum for SWARM. He recently opened for Sabaton, performed at Gamescom 2025, and is confirmed for the Out Of Line Weekender in Berlin in May 2027, with additional live dates currently in preparation.
SWARM emerged in 2018 as the creative outlet of Carroll, whose near‑decade recovery from an eating disorder — a journey he has spoken about openly, including in a 2023 Forbes interview — informs the psychological depth and mental‑health focus of his work. His sound sits at the intersection of industrial EDM, metal, and apocalyptic filmscore, a hybrid approach that has led to collaborations with Bad Omens, Till Lindemann, HEALTH, Aesthetic Perfection, Celldweller, The Browning, Apashe, and more.
With “Who Will Save You Now”, SWARM delivers a statement of intent — a bleak, cinematic strike that sets the tone for his next chapter under Out Of Line Music. Link
