    Proclamation's Let The Truth Be Told has 41 tracks of absolute speed death hardcore punk metal. I don't know what to call it, but surely it is a torrid mix of sounds and emotions. Proclamation hails from Boston and calls themselves the fastest, hardest straight-edge band from Beantown. If you are looking for a band that is sugar-coated, then Proclamation is not your band, with plenty of colorful language peppering the liner notes in Let The Truth Be Told and on their website. But if you can handle that, then you are in for a treat. Let The Truth Be Told contains songs from several Proclamation releases, and gives the listener a good feel for what this band is about. There may be 41 songs on the album, but each of them are about a minute long. And what a minute it is.
