One could now travel very far back in time with stories, since all the players have been musically active for a long time and have already achieved a bit, but what the heck, let's keep it short...

It all began in 1994 with a melodic-core band called HI-IQ, in which Mcal, Wänx, Renz, (Nick)
began to write the first songs. The band got better and better and managed to come 4th in an Austrian band competition.

Shortly afterwards, however, opinions on which style to continue playing were divided into 4 completely different directions (from jazz to death metal - well, classic!), which also meant the end.

Renz (ex-vocals) and Wänx got a new bassist "Jari" and drummer "Tschirkan" and slid
in the direction of OS-hardcore with a band called INSANE, while Mcal tried his luck with a band called LA Resistance.

(Let's just leave stories of smaller bands and side projects alone...)

After almost 2 years, when the screaming became more frequent and Renz's voice became less frequent, and he still wanted to explore the big world, he threw in the towel and said goodbye at Resistance 4 with his last gig.
As fate would have it, 3 months later Mcal found his way back into the band as a "shouter".
A second guitarist named Rudi also joined at the same time.
1voc, 2git, 1bass, 1drums - and the band Truth means dying was brought to life.
The band agreed on a style that was more like Emo Mosh Metal, and it didn't start off too badly....
At the end of 2003, the first CD was recorded with the name "destroyer", which is still current today.

After recording the CD, Rudi decided to emigrate to Germany with his girlfriend Aga, and they were again missing a guitarist. Ken (La Resistance) helped out for half a year, but there was a growing lack of motivation and things went downhill until finally nothing happened in the way of gigs or rehearsals for a while, and Jari (bass) decided to quit due to a lack of time. There was a new upturn at the end of 2004 when "Däs" (Daniel Karelly) appeared as the new shouter. Actually, with his international successes and gold award, he was a born drummer, but he was able to live it out in his second band "Rising Passion". Besides, what else would they have done with Tschirkan? 2 perfect drummers is just one too many! At the same time, a new bassist was found who is doing his best to bring TMD back to life. Mcal now picked up his second passion - guitar, and is finally back in the swing of things.
