Review by Jaki Malanima

Album Review: Courage Demo by Reveal The Truth Released in 2009, Courage Demo by Reveal The Truth is a raw and unfiltered dive into the hardcore rock scene. Hailing from the US and self-released under the label "Not On Label," this album doesn’t try to sugarcoat its intentions—it’s here to hit hard, both sonically and emotionally. With seven tracks that pack a punch, it’s an honest snapshot of a band finding its voice amidst chaos. The opening track, Face The Crowd, sets the tone with relentless energy. Its driving riffs and pounding drums feel like being shoved into a mosh pit against your will—but in a good way. What sticks with me is how the vocals cut through the noise, almost like they’re daring you to keep up. It’s not just music; it’s a challenge. This isn’t background noise for sipping lattes—it demands your full attention. Another standout is The Courage To Say No!. If there was ever a song title that screams “hardcore manifesto,” this would be it. The track builds tension with slow, brooding verses before exploding into a frenzy of guitar work and shouted lyrics. You can practically hear the frustration and defiance bleeding through the speakers. It’s messy, intense, and oddly cathartic—all at once. Tracks like this remind you why hardcore exists: to give voice to emotions too big or too ugly for polite conversation. While other songs like Look Around and Out Of Touch round out the album nicely, they don’t leave as much of an impression. That said, the record as a whole feels cohesive—an unapologetic middle finger to conformity wrapped in distorted chords and sweat-soaked passion. Sure, production quality might not rival today’s polished releases, but that’s part of its charm. Sometimes grit sounds better than gloss. Reflecting on Courage Demo, I’m struck by how personal yet universal it feels. These aren’t just songs—they’re battle cries for anyone who’s ever felt out of place or overwhelmed. And honestly? Listening to it makes me want to break something… in the best possible way. Who knew saying no could sound so empowering?
