Forged through the bonds of friendship and alcohol,burning with the fiery passion to rekindle the dying embers of a declining music scene, TRUTH BE KNOWN (TBK) was born in 2005. Hailing from the tiny island of Singapore, TBK brandishes a uniquely local brand of death metal and aptly draws its title from an old Napalm Death song. Featuring members from several renowned Singapore acts like Bhelliom and Kaliyuga, the band sees Damien and John delivering brutal guitar riffs and wailing leads; Arul keeping the groove with pounding bass lines and Gene at the helm of the drum kit. To top it off, TBK’s music is further driven by Subash’s growls and hard-line socio-political lyrics. Influenced by various foreign extreme metal acts like At The Gates, Slayer, Napalm Death and Sodom, the band has kept its sound distinct - old school Singapore death metal. No glitz, no frills, no fashion and no trends, TBK has performed locally and overseas, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. With a debut release on 08/08/08, TBK is set to make waves. THE TRUTH WILL BE KNOWN.
As of 2009,TRUTH BE KNOWN is a 4 piece band as John and Arul have left the band.This time round,Damien will be handling all the guitar duties and Joshua is our new bassist.

"Their first song "Build The Hate" followed by "Gods Are Us" showed us what Thrash is all about; the feeling of continuous oppression and suffocation." -Taipei Metal (translated)
