Brutal Truth

· 1990–present · active
Brutal Truth was a New York City grindcore band formed in 1990 by bassist Dan Lilker, a veteran of Anthrax, Nuclear Assault, and Stormtroopers of Death. After releasing two albums on Earache Records—Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses (1992) and Need to Control (1994)—the band moved to Relapse Records, where Sounds of the Animal Kingdom (1997) marked a more experimental turn incorporating blues, psychedelic rock, noise, and free jazz elements. They disbanded in 1999, reformed in 2006, released End Time (Relapse, 2011), and dissolved permanently in 2014 upon Lilker's retirement from full-time musicianship.
