BRUTAL TRUTH's RICHARD HOAK Releases Drum Video

February 8, 2010

A light-hearted instructional video on the art of grind drumming has been released by Richard Hoak (BRUTAL TRUTH, TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION) and can be viewed below. The clip was directed by noted surf-and-skate filmmaker Tyson Montrucchio, who has previously worked on music videos for BRUTAL TRUTH, CATTLE DECAPITATION, GOD FORBID, LAMB OF GOD, 16, and more.

Hoak's avant-grindcore band TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION is currently hard at work on the follow-up to 2008's "Peace, Love, and Total Fucking Destruction" and is preparing to decimate Baltimore as part of this year's Maryland Deathfest in May.

BRUTAL TRUTH released the "Evolution In One Take: For Grindfreaks Only! Volume 2" CD on December 22 via Relapse Records.

"Evolution In One Take…" is an audio recording of the band playing its most recent album, "Evolution Through Revolution", from beginning to end in one live take at Mark It Zero studios with engineer Dan O'Hare.

"Evolution In One Take…" comes with a limited-edition patch and is strictly limited to 2,000 copies worldwide. Additional release details can be found here.

"Evolution Through Revolution", the first full-length album in 10 years from 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.

BRUTAL TRUTH released its first-ever DVD, "For the Ugly and Unwanted - This is Grindcore", in Europe on June 22, 2009 via Season of Mist (June 2 in the U.S.). The disc contains a full show shot with five cameras at the Obscene Extreme Festival 2007 in Czech Republic and four more full shows from the "Sounds of the Animal Kindgom" tour as extras.
