Band information

Truth Corroded is a metalcore band from Adelaide. Formed in 1996 with the line-up of Shaw, Lennard, Adam Milburn (drums) and Si Durrant of In:Extremis on vocals, Durrant was shortly replaced with North. The band played several international supports with the likes of Fear Factory, Strapping Young Lad and hardcore acts like Sick Of It All and Vision Of Disorder and in January 2000 played at the Adelaide Big Day Out. Since then Truth Corroded has established a strong name for themselves on a national level with both metal and hardcore crowds, having played Metal for the Brain in 2001 as well as appearing at Grounded, Overcranked and the High Voltage showcases in 2002.

Adam Milburn left Truth Corroded in September 2002. He committed suicide at the age of 29 on January 14, 2003.

After a 10-month hiatus, Truth Corroded returned to the live scene in 2003 as a five piece with Grieve and Matt Barnett in the line-up. A new album was recorded and due for release in early 2005 but Barnett left Truth Corroded in January and the album release was delayed. Barnett was replaced by Chris Canini for a few months but he also subsequently left the band. In July 2005, Barnett returned to Truth Corroded on a temporary basis while the band sought a permanent replacement. He was replaced by Sven Hentschel, who made his live debut with Truth Corroded in early 2006.

The band toured regularly through 2006 and played with Dark Tranquillity and at Metal for the Brain. In early 2007 Truth Corroded played a festival date in Singapore. Shortly after, Okninski joined the band in place of Hentschel.

Truth Corroded is currently working on a new album.
