On the new single, guitarist Chase Wilson comments:
"'Hivemind' is Ov Sulfur's rallying cry against the herd mentality that has turned religion from hopeful to hateful for centuries - to the point where it's basically part of its ethos. The song takes a cue from its celebration of avoiding the typical, stylistically, by taking a left-hand path: embracing off-kilter swing in its dramatic chorus, contrasted with some of their most technical riffing. Lukas Nicolai of Mental Cruelty really elevated the brutality. It's a honour to have our Century Media labelmates and fellow blackened deathcore leaders on a song with us ahead of our co-headlining tour across North America."

Lukas Nicolai, Mental Cruelty's vocalist, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration:
"I said it before and I'm going to say it again: joining Mental Cruelty has been an awesome journey so far. And now to have the opportunity to feature on 'Hivemind' is a cherry on top. It was really fun to record this one! I can't wait to go berserk with Ricky live"
Ov Sulfur and Mental Cruelty are barreling toward the first dates of their ‘Beyond the Eternal Tour', marking a significant moment for both bands. For Ov Sulfur, who are Ricky Hoover (Vocals), Chase Wilson (Guitar & Vocals), Ding (Bass) and Leviathvn (Drums), this will be their inaugural co-headlining venture and Mental Cruelty's first in North America.
