Brutal Truth may have played their last show this past November in Japan, but thanks to Sony we all get a great New Years gift. The gift is a five minute clip from their final performance, featuring two songs, “Birth of Ignorance,” and “Stench of Prophet.”

Founding member Dan Lilker said he’d be retiring from full time touring on his birthday (October 18th, 2014), but assured the metal world that he’d still be playing music.

“I will still have creative output with my 2 local bands in Rochester NY, Nokturnal Hellstorm and Blurring and do the occasional project tour, but yes, as of mid-October, Brutal Truth will no longer exist. I do realize that will be an extreme disappointment to all the grind freaks out there that have supported this band so rabidly all these years, and your enthusiasm will always have a special place in my heart, but I’ve made my decision, and I hope everyone can respect that.”
