about

Truth Be Known 2010

Truth be known (TBK) started out as a 5 - piece death metal band in 2005. The five members (Subash, John, Anesh, Gene & Arul) all knew each other from the small metal scene in Singapore. Even though, they were from different bands with slightly differing music genres, death metal proved to be the common factor for them to start this band. And so, armed with 3 songs and a couple of covers, TBK played their first gig on 1st October 2005 at the Guiness Theatre, Substation. This was the only gig with this lineup for in early 2006, Anesh left for Australia to pursue his studies. The band then decided to enlist the help of another friend from scene, Damien from Bhelliom. With the lineup complete again, TBK went into full song-writing and touring mode. The following years saw the band play numerous shows locally and around the region. Their live performances were energetic and loud, which lead to the moniker of them being “the angriest band in Singapore”. One of their biggest shows was at the “Bang your Head” festival in Semarang, Indonesia in mid 2006, which boast close to 5,000 in attendance. On 8th August, 2008, the band launched their debut album “Just Another Lamb” which was well-received by peers and fans alike.

After 3 years together however, the individual responsibilities of each member began to take its toll and ultimately lead to John and Arul leaving the band to concentrate on their personal lives. Thus, Truth be known took a short hiatus to recuperate.

After about a six month break, the remaining members, Subash, Damien and Gene picked up where they left off and recruited their good friend, Joshua (who, coincidentally, mixed and mastered “Just Another Lamb”) to play bass. Gone were the days of the angry. The new Truth be known was all about having a good time. Though they’ve dubbed their new style “Fun-core”, the music leans more towards punk and grindcore without forsaking the band’s roots in metal. With this new drive, the band went into writing mode and within a few months, they were ready to show the world what Truth be known is.

The new line-up performed at the Soundcrusher gig held at the House of Rock and has been performing quite regularly since then. They’ve recently recorded and released a “teaser” EP entitled “Rock ‘N’ Roll Baby”. Some lucky fans got copies of it at their recent performance at the Grindhouse gig over at Blackhole 212. The positive feedback has spurned the band released the new ,AsphyxiHate EP.
