Truth was the 5th studio album by hard rock band Talisman released on 27th December 1998 on Point.
Marcel Jacob & Jeff Scott Soto wrote most of the material during ten days in JSS's new house in LA, after which the rest of the band (now including guitar player Pontus Norgren) joined up for a couple of weeks of rehearsals and recording of backing tracks. Drums were laid down in a small studio, and the rest was done in JSS's home studio. The mixing took place in Boston, by John Ellis.
The album was released by Point for Europe, and Pony Canyon in Japan. Once again there was no touring done for an album, due to the lack of interest by either label to promote the act. The album was not very well received in the press either, so there may be some reasons the album didn't do so well the band needs to consider? Despite this, there are some excellent tracks, not the least the cover of Madonna's "Frozen" which apparently became very popular in clubs throughout Europe.
