Pioneer grindcore band from Rochester, NY which was founded by Danny Lilker in 1990. Starting with more traditional grindcore sound on Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses (1992) they expanded their sound palette later on with albums like Kill Trend Suicide (1996) and swansong Sounds Of The Animal Kingdom (1997). Brutal Truth split in 1999, but was reformed in 2006.
On 10 January 2014, Danny Lilker announced via the band’s official Facebook page that Brutal Truth will ultimately split on 18 October 2014 (Lilker’s 50th birthday).
