Brooklyn Metal Band Unlocking The Truth Signs $1.8 Million Deal With Sony

The band’s manager, Alan Sacks, said a Sony exec called him after seeing the viral video.

Sacks says the boys have a chance of becoming the new face of rock because they are unique — black artists excelling in heavy metal, a genre typically dominated by white musicians.

The seven-figure Sony contract was submitted for a Manhattan judge’s approval Friday because the musicians are minors.

The deal includes 16 to 17 percent in royalties, a fee that’s slightly above the industry average, said entertainment attorney Richard Wolfe.

The deal is particularly impressive for artists without a track record, added Wolfe, who has repped Mariah Carey and Marilyn Manson.

But there is a hook on the exclusive five-album deal– the boys will only see the real money after an initial $60,000 advance if their first album sells over 250,000 copies.
