5 Great South African Metal Bands You Need To Hear
3. Truth And Its Burden
Again delving into the deepest reaches of the South African underground metal scene, we come across the fiery Truth And Its Burden. For fans of Feed The Rhino and Hell Is For Heroes, this rising yet experienced group broke onto the scene in 2009 thanks to their debut album, ‘Sending the Hope Home’.
Truth And Its Burden have visibly fine tuned their style over the years, with the debut record being far more raw, aggressive and unapologetic than its more recent counterparts. Newer records from the band such as 2017’s ‘I Labour’ demonstrate more professional qualities within the song structure as well as the production.
With three full length albums to their name at present, top songs from Truth And Its Burden include ‘Regain Composure’, ‘I Am Eternal’ and ‘In Perspective’.
