The Truth is the fourth album by American metalcore band Bleeding Through, as well as their second album released through Trustkill Records. The album was released on January 10, 2006, produced by Rob Caggiano, lead guitarist of Anthrax.
The album produced three singles: "Kill to Believe", "Love in Slow Motion", and "Line in the Sand", all with accompanying music videos (with "Love in Slow Motion" being a sequel to the "Kill To Believe" video). This was the last album to feature lead guitarist and founding member Scott Danough
The Truth entered the Billboard Chart at No. 48 (with 17,000 copies sold in its first week) making it the highest charting release by the band to date. It has gone on to sell more than 250,000 copies since its release.
Although it received mostly mixed reviews, Billboard magazine called The Truth "one of the four most important hard rock albums of 2006."
A special edition entitled "The Complete Truth" was released on July 15 of 2008. The band penned a guest blog on the Headbanger's Blog and commented on the release:
"It has been months and we have kept silent. But this latest slap in the face from our supposed record label has pushed us over the edge. We just read on the Internet that Josh Grabelle (Trustkill head honcho) plans to release a 'special edition' of our 2006 album The Truth one month before releasing our new album. Let it be known that Bleeding Through is 100% against this so-called 'special' edition. We did not approve the title, cover artwork (whatever it is), track listing or bonus features for this transparent and obvious cash-grab of a re-release from a record label that despite selling a quarter of a million of our albums worldwide is having problems."
Over a year ago we suggested the idea of a re-release of the album to Trustkill - on our terms, of course, with our artistic vision - and he said he’d consider it if we could land a 'big' tour. We confirmed a tour with Marilyn Manson and Slayer, followed by a tour with HIM, and he said 'NO' to us. He thought we should put out a new album instead. Now we have a new album finished that we are very proud of and he wants to squeeze our fans and our band by throwing out an unapproved 'special' edition in a fast and overt attempt to pay some bills."
