Truth & Its Burden Return with Triumphant New Single Live For Today
After several years away from releasing new music, South African melodic hardcore veterans Truth & Its Burden make a powerful return with their brand-new single, Live For Today, out now via Mongrel Records. The track is a fast-paced, uplifting anthem that reaffirms everything the band has stood for since first emerging in 2007.
For nearly two decades, Truth & Its Burden have built a reputation for combining relentless energy with heartfelt melody, earning a devoted following through their passionate live performances and uncompromising approach to melodic hardcore. With influences that will resonate with fans of Stick To Your Guns, The Ghost Inside, Ignite, No Bragging Rights, Comeback Kid and To The Wind, the band’s latest release is both a reminder of their roots and a bold statement of intent for the future.
At its core, Live For Today is built around the philosophy that has driven the band from the very beginning: seize the day. Having started from humble beginnings while always chasing bigger dreams, Truth & Its Burden have consistently pushed themselves beyond their comfort zones, embracing every opportunity life has offered. That spirit is captured in every second of the new single, delivering high-velocity riffs, soaring melodies and an infectious sense of optimism.
Vocalist Ashley De Beer says the song marks an important new chapter for the band.
“It’s been a truly rewarding process working on new music again, considering our last new release was back in 2019. Live For Today confidently conveys what our band stands for, and also carries a new sense of purpose and hope for the future. Clearly, we’re not done yet.”
The single not only celebrates the band’s enduring message of living life to its fullest but also signals that Truth & Its Burden are entering an exciting new era. While many bands fade with time, Live For Today proves that the fire still burns brightly, delivering the same passion and melodic intensity that fans have come to love, while looking confidently toward what’s next.
With Live For Today, Truth & Its Burden remind listeners that every day is an opportunity to move forward, chase dreams and embrace the present, because tomorrow is never guaranteed.
