History
Living Sacrifice
In 1989, Truby joined Living Sacrifice with the other members being Bruce Fitzhugh, DJ Johnson, and Lance Garvin.
In 1991, Living Sacrifice's self-titled debut was released on R.E.X. Records. In 1992, Living Sacrifice released their second album, Nonexistent.
In 1994, the band released a third album, Inhabit Living Sacrifice signed onto Solid State Records seeking to widen their audience.[1] In 1995, Johnson left the band and was replaced by Jason's brother, Chris.
Living Sacrifice recorded Reborn, their Solid State debut, in 1997. The band started to play a mix of groove metal and metalcore.[2] Reborn is considered the most influential of all Living Sacrifice records. In 1998, both Truby brothers left the band and were eventually replaced by Rocky Gray and Arthur Green.
P.O.D.
In 2003, P.O.D. needed a new guitarist after former band member Marcos Curiel parted with the band amidst controversy. Truby was available at the time to write and record the band's single, "Sleeping Awake" for The Matrix Reloaded Soundtrack album. He became a full-time member soon afterward.
The band released its first album with Truby (Payable on Death) in November 2003. It was the first time the band discarded its rap metal style, which in turn faced much controversy. Despite, it went on to sell just over one million records worldwide.
He also wrote the song "Truly Amazing" with P.O.D. for the The Passion of the Christ: Songs album, which would go on to win a GMA Dove Award.
In 2005 POD would release the Warriors 2 EP .
The second P.O.D. album with Truby, Testify, was produced by Glen Ballard and released in January 2006 and includes Katy Perry on background vocals on one song. Later that year, P.O.D. released its Greatest Hits album which would be Truby's last work with the band.
