They:Swarm was formed in early 2003 under the name of WHORECORE, by Nir Doliner (guitar), Tomer Jones (vocals), Assaf Meidan (drums), Ariel Ron (vocals), Eran Segal (guitar), and Yaron Shacham (Bass). Shortly after the band had its initial line up in order they started playing as much shows as possible with total disregard to the type of venue or their own personal safety on stage. After intense months of playing (and injuries) the band gathered audiences ranging from metal to punk and hardcore scenes, and through that process earned their name as one of Israel's best live acts. In early 2004 Haim Binyami came in to replace yaron on the bass position. In January of 2006 the band self released their debut cd "protection" in Israel, and on April went on a tour in europe with Macabre and Jungle Rot. After having parted ways with original vocalist Ariel, the band took in long time friend Sven De Caluwe (of Aborted and Leng Tche) and returned to the classic two vocalist line up. Recently the band decided to rename to THEY : SWARM, which marks a new era for everyone in the band, fuelled with more anger, agression, inspiration & dedication, THEY : SWARM sets out to destroy everything within its path. NO BONE UNBREAKABLE!!
