Brutal Truth shirt for the release of Sounds of the Animal Kingdom.
100% genuine, definitive 1997 Australian-license promotional press In terms of collectibility and extreme metal curation, this is as elite as it gets.
The back features a massive stark-white human skull graphic combined with a classic band circular arrow motif. Beneath the graphic sits a foundational literary quote explicitly defining the thesis statement of the entire record:
"...we are, despite all our great technological advances, still very much a simple biological phenomenon. Despite our grandiose ideas and our lofty self-conceits, we are still humble animals, subject to all the basic laws of animal behavior..."
This passage is directly excerpted from famous zoologist Desmond Morris'groundbreaking 1967 behavioral science book, The Naked Ape: A Zoologist's Study of the Human Animal.
Brutal Truth used his scientific deconstruction of humanity as the literal blueprint for the record's concept of human decay and animal regression.
Now that’s a concept album!
