Signs Of The Swarm – release addictive new single + video for ‘Scars Upon Scars’

“‘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.”
