On August 22nd, Pittsburgh deathcore titans SIGNS OF THE SWARM will release their sixth full-length, To Rid Myself of Truth, via Century Media Records. Today, the band is giving fans the final preview of the record before its release with a new video for the title track, which can be seen on KNAC.COM HERE.

"I started writing this song after Dave and I had a chat about getting back to the roots that made us want to make stupid-heavy music," reveals drummer Bobby Crow. "I wanted some straight up knuckling-dragging, slack jaw shit. It felt like a great way to open the album and make a statement that we aren't here to fuck around."

"I personally think this is the heaviest breakdown on the record-maybe tied with closing track "Creator"," explains vocalist David Simonich. "My favorite line from "To Rid Myself Of Truth" was inspired by the recent Nosferatu movie: 'The shrieks of two, the screams of one, the cries of none.'"

Reunited with producer Josh Schroeder (Lorna Shore, Mental Cruelty, Varials, King 810), SIGNS OF THE SWARM continues molting their slamming deathcore exoskeleton, revealing a band now as indebted to Meshuggah, Gojira and Fear Factory as any of the deathcore bands they grew up on-now peers. After writing breakout 5th LP Amongst the Low & Empty (2023) almost entirely in-studio, the group geared up to do it again on To Rid Myself of Truth. This stint's 7-week lead time-PLUS the in-studio time-was a veritable vacation for the band, with the addition of guitarist/backing vocalist Carl Schulz adding a whole other set of riffing hands (and vocal chords) to the band. It was plenty of time for the now-quartet, rounded out by bassist Michael Cassese, to craft metal exactly as they think it should sound: MORE. PISSED. And it is. Musically the album's edges are far more serrated than their last's flirtations with djenty bounce.
