Signs Of The Swarm & Deep Diving the New Album "To Rid Myself of Truth" | Interview

10 years is a long time being in a band and trying to make it in the music industry. It is something that very few people achieve, and even fewer succeed in. And for an artist that succeeds in that endeavour and onto album 6, what goes through their minds?

Are they thinking of the next step and wanting more? Are they thinking it is good enough? Are they keeping things in perspective to their wants and goals, while enjoying the ride along the way? The answer to that is the last, and it brings an album with the best features, and an expanded sound towards the end.

Bobby from the deathcore band Sings Of The Swarm joins the Chord Progression Podcast today. With the bands 6th album "To Rid Myself of Truth" releasing on August 22nd, dive deep into the band and album with us. On this episode, we talk about:

- Reflecting on 10+ years of Sign of the Swarm, how they keep the line between over-ambition and enjoying their success, and why they still enjoy the ride like they did when they were kids.

- Why streaming numbers distort a band's impact on the music scene, and why the live show attendence & participation is the key success barometer for a band.

- The new album "To Rid Myself of Truth," how it expands the bands sound towards the end of the album, and the incredible features from Whitechapel and 156/Silence.
