Signs Of The Swarm – drop epic new single + video ft Will Ramos ‘Clouded Retinas’

Pittsburgh deathcore titans SIGNS OF THE SWARM are celebrating just ahead of a mammoth European festival trek by releasing new song ‘Clouded Retinas’, featuring Lorna Shore’s Will Ramos. The run will feature appearances at legendary festivals like Hellfest, Graspop, Rock for People and Sweden Rock, plus a co-headlining slot at the return of the UK’s Ghostfest. Peppered between are three sold-out shows supporting Lorna Shore and one supporting Fit for an Autopsy, plus multiple headliners with the likes of Mental Cruelty and Terminal Sleep—the former with whom the band will tour around North America this coming autumn!

“‘Clouded Retinas’ is about my struggle coming to terms with my vision loss and diagnosis of Stargardt disease”, explains vocalist David Simonich, who is having an internal dialogue with himself in the song. “I asked my friend Will Ramos to hop on the song not just to make it sound sick, but also to spread awareness of degenerative diseases and disability. With Will holding it down for today’s deathcore, I tried to showcase my influences from Nate Johnson and Vincent Bennett because the song feels modern yet nostalgic at the same time.”

Clouded Retinas‘ is 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.
