Currently on tour across Europe, Pittsburgh deathcore titans SIGNS OF THE SWARM have released a new single and music video today, titled ‘Scars Upon Scars’, taken from the band’s upcoming sixth full-length, To Rid Myself of Truth, which is due to be released 22nd August via Century Media Records.
“‘Scars Upon Scars’ is about my struggles with addiction,” reveals vocalist David Simonich. “I tried to make it accessible for anyone who is dealing with addiction: showcasing the depriving lows of withdrawal and highlighting the hunger that is never satiated. I hope someone can take this piece I’ve given of myself and feel less alone. With such direct lyrics, I approached my vocals with influences from hardcore bands I like, such as Jesus Piece, Backtrack and Desolated.”
