Unburdening The Truth With DAVID SIMONICH From SIGNS OF THE SWARM

American deathcore outfit Signs of the Swarm are widely regarded as deathcore's most ferocious bands.After recently completing a sold out US tour to celebrate ten years as a band, Signs Of The Swarm have now set their sights on Australia, heading Down Under for a string of shows with Born Of Osiris in March.Over six studio albums - the most recent of which being last years To Rid Myself Of Truth - Signs Of The Swarm have embedded themselves in the upper echelon of metal bands worldwide, with an unrelenting presence and dynamic output that looks set to dominate well beyond their current decade of dominance.HEAVY caught up with frontman David Simonich to find out more. We question David about their ferocious reputation and ask if it is a badge of honour worn proudly by the band."Absolutely," he smiled. "I feel like that we bring an attitude that a lot of people can't imitate because it's very organic. We just try to be ourselves and that's just the energy that conveys of us being ourselves, you know? Good old American deathcore, brother."With the band recently celebrating ten years together, we take the opportunity to ask David what sorts of things he has learnt about himself and his music over the journey."There's been a lot of learning curves professionally and musically," he measured, "always figuring out, like, sometimes you have to find the right balance of what you want to do and what your fans will like, where you'll be happy to play it for 10 more years. You know what I mean? So there's some songs on other records where I'm like, man, I hope I never have to play that one. Just my head was in the wrong place at the wrong time, you know?"In the full interview David answers the last question in more detail, talks about touring with Born Of Osiris and what fans can expect from the shows, celebrating ten years, how Signs Of The Swarm have grown as a band, how their live show has expanded since the last Australian tour with Within Destruction in 2022, some funny tales from that tour and more.BORN OF OSIRIS and SIGNS OF THE SWARM 2026 Australian Tour DatesWednesday 18th March ADELAIDE, Lion Arts FactoryThursday 19th March MELBOURNE, Max WattsFriday 20th March BRISBANE, Brightside OutdoorsSaturday 21st March SYDNEY, Manning Bar Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.
