In 2014, Unlocking the Truth signed a $1.8 million contract for five albums with Sony Music Entertainment. As the members were still minors at the time, the contract had to be approved through the New York Supreme Court. In 2015, the band successfully negotiated their release from their contract with Sony.
Unocking the Truth has performed on live television (The Tonight Show, The Colbert Report); music festivals such as the Warped Tour, Bonnaroo and SXSW; commercials; and toured with major artists such as Guns & Roses, Motley Crue and Queens of the Stone Age.
In April 2016, Unlocking the Truth announced the release of their full-length debut album, Chaos. The album was released on June 17, 2016 via TuneCore. A feature-length documentary film about the band, entitled Breaking a Monster, was released in the Northern Hemisphere in the summer of 2016. On April 27, Loudwire premiered their first video "Take Control".
Chaos
Unlocking the Truth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where you used to be
And I warn you
Things are not the same
Our world is hatred
Hate draws in pain
Our world of anger
I'll try my best
To bring myself
Myself (all of the ways)
Now I'll try my best
To bring myself
Above the ways
All of this chaos.oh!
It won't affect me
The things at your door
Afraid inject me but I'll remain the same
You now see the anesthesias
Lost here in pain
I may not warn you
Don't blame the life in light
I'll try my best
To bring myself
Myself (all of the ways)
Now I'll try my best
To bring myself
Above the ways
All of this chaos
Our world is hatred
Hate draws in pain
Our world of anger
Will all die in vain
#iftekharhozzain
The lyrics of Unlocking the Truth's song Chaos express a message of warning and empowerment in the midst of a world filled with hatred and anger. The singer acknowledges that things have changed, that the world is filled with pain and suffering caused by hate. They make a promise to themselves to try their best to rise above it all, to bring themselves out of the chaos and into a better place.
The lyrics are powerful in their simplicity, using short, declarative sentences to convey their message. The use of repetition, with the lines "I'll try my best/To bring myself/Myself (all of the ways)/Now I'll try my best/To bring myself/Above the ways" underscores the singer's determination to transcend the negativity around them.
Overall, the lyrics of Chaos are a call to action for listeners to take control of their own lives and emotions in the face of a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming and chaotic.
Line by Line Meaning
I should have told you
I regret not informing you
Where you used to be
About the changes in your surroundings
And I warn you
I want to alert you
Things are not the same
That things have changed significantly
Our world is hatred
The world is full of hate
Hate draws in pain
Hate begets pain
Our world of anger
The world is also full of anger
Will all die in vain
This anger will lead to a meaningless end
I'll try my best
I will do my utmost
To bring myself
To improve myself
Myself (all of the ways)
In every aspect of my being
Now I'll try my best
I will persevere
To bring myself
To elevate myself
Above the ways
Beyond the norm
All of this chaos.oh!
In spite of all this confusion
It won't affect me
I won't be impacted
The things at your door
The issues you're facing
Afraid inject me but I'll remain the same
Although I'm afraid, I will stay true to myself
You now see the anesthesias
You are blinded by anesthesia
Lost here in pain
Suffering without direction
I may not warn you
I might not be able to help you
Don't blame the life in light
Don't hold life responsible for your current state

Been following you guys ever since I saw you jam the fuck out on the Colbert Report...what, 2 years ago? It brings a tear to this old man's eye to see the next generation of metalheads thrash out like this. Keep it up! You're paving the way!

MetalMonkey
No, thank you. Really. I honestly can't tell you how moved I was to see guys as young as you doing what you did on stage that day. I know it sound sentimental and stupid, but it really did. I kind of lost hope in this generation's musical tastes, but you guys proved me wrong in the best way possible. You guys are doing great and you have a lifetime fan in me. I'll be sure to offer you guys all the support I can! Already bought this album, great work. I wish you the best.
Malxolm Brixkhouse
Thank you. You comment really means a lot to us. We really do work hard on our music and we are so happy to finally release our music.
Retro Game Lounge
If you guys are ever in northern VA, consider yourself invited to be on my show -- Retro Game Lounge. You guys inspire the hell outta me and you have renewed my faith in the younger generation to keep the metal spirit alive. Please don't ever give up or give in. Follow your dreams and keep going forward. I was in a few bands myself in HS so I know the struggle and I know the passion. Jamming is an addiction that never really leaves you. Rock on guys.
