Richard Hoak, who has played drums for Brutal Truth on every record since their second disc, 1994's Need to Control, has contributed music for a new short film called "A Short But Interesting Message From God" -- and it's the last thing Brutal Truth fans would expect. There's are no buzzsaw guitars or throat-slashed vocals. Hell, there's not even a beat.
Instead, Hoak, who goes by the name Peacemaker, has assembled an ambient collage of reverberating tones, somewhat reminiscent of the disturbing soundcapes in David Lynch's "Eraserhead," and layered these "transformational noises" atop footage by Ed Ballinger of Punkmonkey Pictures. In addition to working with Peacemaker, Ballinger's Punkmonkey has shot videos for Hoak's other band Total F--king Destruction, Withered, Mouth of the Architect and others.
