BRUTAL TRUTH: 'Evolution Through Revolution' First-Week Sales Revealed

April 22, 2009

"Evolution Through Revolution", the first full-length album in 10 years from the reunited seminal grindcore/extreme metal outfit BRUTAL TRUTH, sold around 1,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The CD debuted at No. 65 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

"Evolution Through Revolution" is available for streaming in its entirety at EvolutionThroughRevolution.info. The CD was recorded at Watchman Studios in Lockport, New York with engineer Doug White (PSYOPUS).

BRUTAL TRUTH bassist Danny Lilker commented: "BRUTAL TRUTH has worked our asses off to write and arrange some of the sickest, most inhuman grindcore ever created. With Jason PC from BLOOD DUSTER handling the mix, we're positive that the music and production on 'Evolution Through Revolution' will satisfy the cravings of the sickest bastards out there."

Drummer Richard Hoak added: "I think 'Evolution Through Revolution' is the best BRUTAL TRUTH record by far! We are all totally psyched about the songs and the production and can't wait to start bringing our grinding soundtrack to the end of history live and direct to the people! Hell yeah!"
