With Sounds of the Animal Kingdom, Brutal Truth delivered one of the most intense and experimental albums in grindcore history. Originally released in 1997, the American band combines relentless blastbeats, chaotic guitar work and Kevin Sharp's extreme vocals with unexpected tempo changes and experimental sound effects. The result is an uncompromising blend of grindcore, death metal and hardcore.
Tracks such as “Dementia”, “Jemenez Cricket” and “Blue World” showcase the versatility of Brutal Truth. From ultra-short explosions of pure aggression to lengthy, oppressive compositions, Sounds of the Animal Kingdom remains a truly unique album within the extreme metal scene. The unmistakable bass work of Dan Lilker, known for Anthrax and Nuclear Assault, adds even more power to the band's distinctive sound.
This 2026 re-issue comes on striking Bone with Splatter vinyl, housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve. An excellent new edition of an essential grindcore classic for fans of extreme metal and collectible vinyl.
