Truth Killer

Writing and recording
The band again chose to work with music producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette on the album, which marks his third collaboration with the band. The album was described as the band sticking to their established sound while adding additional electronic sounds into the mix. The song "Superficial Drug" provides a critique of modern social media.

Release and promotion
The album was first announced in April 2023. Its announcement was coupled with the release of the album's first single from the album, "Fence", and an accompanying claymation music video.

Reception
The album was generally well-received by critics. Metal Injection gave the album an 8/10 review score, praising it for being "focused and streamlined with plenty of catchy songs and a few surprises." Blabbermouth similarly gave it an 8/10 score, concluding that while its "not super varied or diverse" it is still "well-written and exquisitely executed" and that "even though they're 14 albums in, they aren't watering anything down, and they have much more music in them." Wall of Sound agreed with the sentiment in their own 8/10 review, stating that "with album 14 Truth Killer, they sound just as inspired and creatively juiced up as ever".
