FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Truism Unleashes "Photon": A Sonic Journey Beyond Darkness
Release Date: November 24, 2024
Genre: Metal
Location: Wroclaw, Poland
Wroclaw-based metal act Truism is back with their latest single, Photon, released on November 24, 2024. Known for their unique blend of modern groove metal and progressive elements, Truism is poised to take listeners on a sonic journey beyond the darkness with this powerful new track.
Truism, led by Dzvon Cyndzer (from the legendary Polish band Acid Drinkers), has quickly carved a niche within the global metal scene. Joined by Maciej Morawski, Adam Hajdasz, and Slaver Wolowicz, the band offers a refreshing take on modern metal, mixing raw power and intricate melodies. Following their debut EP, Insanitarium, co-produced with the legendary Tue Madsen (known for his work with Meshuggah, Suicide Silence, and more), Truism is ready to push boundaries further with their latest single.
A Message From Beyond
In the midst of chaos and uncertainty, Photon urges listeners to dig deeper within themselves to find strength in the face of adversity. The song’s title, referencing the fundamental particle of light, embodies the band's philosophy of overcoming personal limitations and finding the courage to push forward.
Dzvon Cyndzer, the band's leader, explains:
“Life is not just a collection of events. It’s a continuous struggle where pain and pressure are tools for growth. In what we do, instead of pursuing happiness, we strive to find happiness in the pursuit itself. That’s where the meaning of life lies. With this track, we aim to capture a piece of that philosophy and inspire others to take action themselves.”
In Truism’s world, light is not confined by gravity, and the band encourages their fans to transcend their boundaries and emerge stronger from challenges. Photon is more than just a song; it’s an anthem of empowerment for those navigating life's toughest journeys.
A Sonic Collaboration and Tribute to Fans
The track also features a guest appearance from Zbigniew Krzywański, guitarist of the legendary Polish band Republika, whose solo parts evoke the sounds of Fredrik Thordendal (Meshuggah) and Adrian Belew. Additionally, the band invited their fans to participate in the recording by contributing vocal shouts that were layered into the song’s powerful chorus. This unique inclusion is Truism's tribute to the fans, reinforcing the message that the boundary between creator and listener is blurred – we are all made of the same stardust.
“It’s our tribute to the fans,” says Dzvon. “The boundary between creator and listener is now illusory and overrated. We’re all made of the same stardust. So, if you want to roar with us, come aboard!”
More Than Just a Single
Unlike traditional promotional singles, Photon is part of a larger creative plan. Truism has opted to release music on their terms, unveiling tracks periodically instead of adhering to the conventional LP release cycle. This approach allows them to maintain a consistent presence and keep fans engaged, while also building momentum for future releases and potentially attracting label interest.
“It’s no secret that the traditional LP release model is dying before our eyes,” Dzvon explains. “As a fully independent band, we’re free from any pressure except our own. We have overflowing material, but we’ve decided to release music when it feels right for us.”
Fans can expect more from Truism as the band continues to push boundaries and redefine their sound, with Photon marking the next step in their exciting journey.
