Truth Rising is the eighth studio album by American Punk rock band Hed PE. The album was released on October 26, 2010 to mixed reviews. Truth Rising debuted at #98 on the Billboard 200. The album also peaked #13 on the Top Independent albums charts.
The music of Truth Rising primarily fuses hard rock, heavy metal, hip hop, funk, reggae and punk rock. It also features elements of blues and industrial.Jared Gomes' vocal style ranges from melodic singing to rapping and death growls. The album continues the band's increasingly political lyrical message, drawing thematic material from the 9/11 Truth movement. Religion and sex are also discussed. Gomes states that the "truth" referred to in the album's title refers to "a lot of different things. One of it is trying to sift through all the political catch phrases and junk. There’s also the organized religion component, there’s the E.T. reality component and then there’s blind consumerism. It’s a broad concept."
"No Rest for the Wicked" was recorded especially for the compilation Major Pain 2 Indee Freedom: The Best of Hed P.E., and features a chorous reminiscent of The Police. The band purchased new recording material for the song, which premiered on Noisecreep.Sevendust singer Lajon Witherspoon contributed guest vocals to the song "Stand Up". Gomes described "Takeover" as a battle rap; he also stated that the lyrical themes were lighter than the rest of the album.
