Pittsburgh deathcore juggernauts Signs Of The Swarm have officially announced the release of their sixth studio album, To Rid Myself of Truth , due out August 22, 2025 via Century Media Records . Alongside the announcement comes the release of a blistering new single and music video, “HELLMUSTFEARME” , showcasing a band that’s both honoring its roots and charging boldly into new sonic territory.
Reuniting with acclaimed producer Josh Schroeder (Lorna Shore, Mental Cruelty, King 810), Signs Of The Swarm are shedding their slamming deathcore shell, evolving into something even more menacing and multidimensional. Drawing influence from the mechanical precision of Meshuggah , the atmospheric weight of Gojira , and the industrial onslaught of Fear Factory , the new record promises to be the band’s most mature and punishing effort yet.
“'HELLMUSTFEARME' is a nod to our roots: all gas, no brakes from start to finish,” says drummer Bobby Crow . “We wanted to channel the albums that brought us into deathcore—like The Cleansing by Suicide Silence—and hit it with that SOTS flavor.”
Vocalist David Simonich adds: “The song was born from a dark joke about my own survival through multiple suicide attempts—if Hell was real, they wouldn’t want me. The song is about being so low, even Hell rejects you. Yet, despite that, I overcome . This song is about defiance, power, and survival.”

With a stable and sharpened lineup featuring guitarist/backing vocalist Carl Schulz and bassist Michael Cassese , the band entered the studio with more time and creative energy than ever before. What emerged is an album that’s not just heavier—it’s smarter, more intricate, and deliberately more aggressive.
