Earthside Release Let The Truth Speak – Deluxe Edition

Two years since debuting, a deluxe edition of Earthside’s Let The Truth Speak has been released through Mascot Records – The album also features an explosive bonus track, ‘Earthsink’ that finds the bandcollaborating with Stateside experimental metal act Daedric.

The song began when Daedric shared a reel of an original vocal idea over the band’s song ‘Watching The Earth Sink’. Impressed, Earthside invited Daedric  vocalist Kristyn Hopeonstage during their US tour, and thereafter guitarist Jamie van Dyck rebuilt the track around her soaring vocal motif, ultimately flying to Texas to complete the collaboration in person.

“Kristyn creates worlds,” van Dyck noted “Working with her expanded the mythos and depth of the piece. We hope this won’t be our last collaboration.”

Hope herself commented;”When I first heard Let The Truth Speak I was blown away by the cinematic impact of the sound paired with each vocalist’s unique quality. I noticed that ‘Watching the Earth Sink’ was purely instrumental so I thought it would be cool to add a short vocal duet over the middle section. When Earthside decided to create an entirely new version to include me on the deluxe release of the album, I was deeply honoured. It was quite daunting to approach the full track as I consider their work highly technical, but working with Jamie proved to be rewarding as we finalised the vocals together.”

Expect heavenly sounds that come crashing down with world-shaking intensity on the video for ‘Earthsink’ featured here at RAMzine.

“Let The Truth Speak challenged everything – Our writing, our production, our entire creative identity. It defined what cinematic rock truly means for us,” keyboard player Frank Sacramone reflected. “Now, we’re forging a future that can sustain our grandest visions.”

He also made the admission: “This album nearly tore our lives apart. It’s madness—but it’s beautiful.”  van Dyck added:  “If our debut was about the individual, Let The Truth Speak is about humanity. The world changed, and so did we.”

Since its original release Earthside has headline toured across North America; released a number of singles – The video for ‘All We Knew And Ever Loved’ featuring Leprous’ Baard Kolstadwhich being awarded Best Music Video at the United Artist International Film Festival and screened at festivals worldwide, and also been on tour with Soen and Leprous.
