Bevor am 22. August die neue Langrille von SIGNS OF THE SWARM herauskommt, schickt das Label des US Deathcore Outfits, noch das Video zum Titeltrack und Opener des Albums Nummer sechs.
SIGNS OF THE SWARM Frontmann David Simonich erzählt über den Song
„I personally think this is the heaviest breakdown on the record—maybe tied with closing track ‚Creator. 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.'“
Drummer Bobby Crow erinnert sich:
„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. 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.“

Lyrics:
I breathe the air stained in blood
As I sink into the river of my sins
Where should I even begin?
To rid myself of truth
With crooked teeth
I built my empire
Just to watch it fall
Burning chapters as I ruin lives
Hiding behind crimson-stained eyes
With disbelief
These graves I keep
Will feed the grief
The guilt encrusted on my rotting hands
Proves how unworthy I am
To rid myself of truth
I wander through my heart’s hell
For the perfect stories to tell
In the river of my sins
Where do I begin?
Where angels die
I come alive
Repent, repent, repent
I’m conquering the world
As my angels die
My angels died again
They all died by my hand
And now they’re nailed to their cross
To rid myself of truth
By my hand
By my will
Be not afraid
Use your wings
To cover your eyes
Be not afraid to die
Be not afraid
The shrieks of two
The screams of one
The cries of none
They all die again
To rid myself of truth
Where do I begin?
Where angels die
I come alive
Repent, repent, repent
I’m conquering the world
As my angels die
Where angels die
I come alive
Where angels die
Repent, repent, repent
To rid myself of truth
