THE TRUTH - Ko Će Ako Nećeš Ti? - 4 songs preview of upcoming LP

well, well, what do we have here?.. probably you all already know The Truth which are really long lasting hardcore band and they are pushing this story of theirs for almost 20 years, even more than 20 if we are counting the period when they were called The Truth Of XXX and they are pretty much present all the time on diy hc punk scene here, maybe not with a new records every year, members are from 2 different countries so this is one reason it's something more difficult for them to write new songs and making music, but they do tour a lot (they covered almost the whole Europe, from Lisbon to Kiev all the way to Istanbul)  and are active on some other fields as well, like with zines, label, discussions, etc.
my relation to this band was always mixed up, I don't often listen this kind of music anymore, they are not a kind of band whose records I will buy and listen at home, but I always respected them, was enjoying their live shows because they are always energetic, they talk a lot in between the songs and that's almost always interesting to me, and well as a matter of fact I even took part in releasing of one of their latest albums "Tenzija" with my old, now inactive label..
and now I can tell you that if all songs will be like those 4 which we get for preview they can become even better to me, now also musically because I like those songs so far.. they aren't as usual just fast one minute sharp attacks from start to finish, but now they seems like becoming a little more structured in song writing and include some backing vocals as well, some lyrics and refrains are also on point and catching so they will probably soon become sing-along hits.. and just to mention, one more plus is I feel the vibes of and whole thing lightly reminds on legendary Razlog Za..
anyhow, this material was recorded on even 3 different locations (Beograd, Kragujevac and Zagreb) during 2021/2022, the record itself is supposed to have 14 songs all together, album cover artwork is done by Biblical Violence Illustrations and vinyl should be out in spring of this year, so probably in next few months.. until then go visit their bandcamp and put those four songs on repeat but be careful because you don't want to destroy your place with moshing.. or maybe you want.. 1-2-3 go!..
