''The Truth'' was released on January 10, 2006, through Trustkill. The band decided to rebuild their sound from the ground up; Danough told  ''[[Alternative Press (music magazine)|Alternative Press]]'' that the band's approach involved "Taking out the Metalcore, and then adding the metal into hardcore, if that makes any sense," while Leppke added, "I don't think this album sounds like anything else out there right now.

This resulted in a fan recognizing them and then calling over a bunch of his friends. The band talked with the fans, signed autographs, posed for pictures and also asked the kids if there were any shows happening that night they could participate in. They ended up doing a small club concert with local bands, with roughly 150 people in attendance. The show was a benefit with all proceeds going toward cancer research.<ref name="Blabbermouth.net - Bleeding Through Play Impromptu Show After Meeting Fans At Taco Bell" /> The band spent November and December 2006 on tour with [[Saosin]] and [[Senses Fail]].<ref name="MusicMight" />
