SIGNS OF THE SWARM have announced a new album!
Titled To Rid Myself Of Truth, the upcoming album from the Pittsburgh-based deathcore band is the follow-up to 2023’s Amongst The Low & Empty, and is scheduled to be released in August this year, via Century Media Records.
The upcoming album was produced by Josh Schroeder [LORNA SHORE, MENTAL CRUELTY, VARIALS, KING 810] and features guest appearances from Will Ramos [LORNA SHORE], Phil Bozeman [WHIETCHAPEL], Jack Murray [156/SILENCE] and Johnny Crowder [PRISON, ex-DARK SERMON].
Alongside the announcement of the new album, SIGNS OF THE SWARM have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; HELLMUSTFEARME.
Speaking about the new song, drummer Bobby Crow shares, “HELLMUSTFEARME is a nod to our roots: all gas, no brakes from start-to-finish. I wanted to channel the albums that drew me into deathcore, such as The Cleansing by SUICIDE SILENCE and Hellbound by FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY and add our SOTS flavour. As soon as we finished this demo, we knew we wanted it to be the first thing everyone heard from the album that became To Rid Myself Of Truth.”
Vocalist David Simonich adds, “HELLMUSTFEARME started from a little joke I had with a friend about how many times I tried killing myself—and failed, obviously. Assuming Hell were real, I would definitely be going there, but they don’t want me there. It’s kind of a ‘chicken or the egg’ situation; do they not want me there because I can’t die and what that suggests, or can I not die because they won’t let me know—and why is that if it wasn’t preceded by my being unkillable?
The song is about the lowest of the low. Not even the most depraved place for the heathens of all heathens wants me? So they keep me contained in another Hell, Earth. Yet, I overcome. I hope that shines through and the listener feels powerful when they are jamming this defiant and deadly song. I’m trying to turn my negative experiences into something positive.”
