THE REVIEW
"Extreme conditions demand extreme responses".
It is the sacred truth that has guided the degenerate musical career of the New York band since their distant beginnings.
The group was formed in 1990 thanks to the fervent mind of Nuclear Assault's bassist Dan Lilker.
A dark sound from the deep bowels of the Big Apple of those years, torn by social contrasts never seen before.
They thus arrive at the third discographic episode with this harrowing EP; they don't need any help this time, self-producing.
Very short songs; shattering claustrophobic fragments.
Extremely violent splatters of Zornian madness (like Naked City's "Torture Garden" to be clear) that collide with a Slayer-like guitar sound; but much darker and oppressive.
Kevin Sharp is a possessed beast that tears the eardrums with his ruthless growl.
"Blind Leading The Blind", "Let's Go To War", "Everflow", "Homesick": all tracks under two minutes that show the degree of ferocity reached by the band.
"Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses": it has always been like this with Brutal Truth, today as then.
POST-GRINDCORE...NEED TO CONTROL...
Ad Maiora.

Summary by Bot
Brutal Truth's EP Kill Trend Suicide delivers a brutal, uncompromising post-grindcore experience. Formed in 1990 by Dan Lilker, the band showcases extremely short, violent tracks with oppressive and dark guitar work. Kevin Sharp's intense vocals complement the ferocious sound. The self-produced EP reflects the band's consistent commitment to extreme musical expression.Tracklist Lyrics Videos
07 Homesick (01:16)
i know, i know
the social programs program lies
fail to see just compromise
casualties yet unforseen
logic dictates sinking shit
i'm not homesick...
told to see just what to see
blind to ways that life can be
life awakening
i'm still beating
08 Humanity's Folly (02:48)
rape the land, man's progress
skeletons, plague the earth
investing life, on man's greatest joke
in the end, you'll find there's no hope
there's no hope
I've tried to lie
poison
crossed the line, too many times
cross the line and you'll find
evolution - progress blown open
infestation - wastes away our downfall
casualties, is what we'll get
centuries of ill-neglect exposed us to our plague
for our pain, insert your gain
race against the laws, clear thoughts come in one shot why not?
toxic pollution invades the earth
for man's ignorance, we will pay
global transformation, you'll see, watch it burn
in the end, we're to blame, ha, ha man's greatest joke
10 Kill Trend Suicide (15:09)
your fashion, kills trends to their end
your cycle of nonsense bleeds to its core, repeats once again
perfection, best play by the rules
this shit by you false-core will kill your own trip
play you the fool
kill trend suicide
false-core genoocide
the fashion, gone glory to capitalist ways
faceless, sold into corporate ways
no vision or thought is what you get out, fight for your own belief
for in the end you must give in, fuck off trend casualties
this way,
that way,
no way,
well anyway
