True Parallels is the second studio album by American rock band Trust Company. Originally to be released in 2004, the release date was pushed back to March 21, 2005, internationally and on March 22, 2005, in the United States. Despite little promotion from their label, the album entered the Billboard album charts at number 32 and has gone on to sell in excess of 200,000 copies.

Background

Trust Company was originally scheduled to play at Ozzfest 2003, but canceled to focus on finishing True Parallels. Several months prior to the album's release, original bassist Josh Moates left the group and was replaced by Walker Warren.

"Stronger" was released in February 2005 as the album's single. It has two versions for the music videos, the original version features the band performing at a party. The video was unreleased until it was uploaded in May 2017 by former bassist Walker Warren and was later posted on Trust Company's Facebook page,[4] the MTV2 version which received moderate airplay, features the band performing in a skatepark. According to drummer Jason Singleton on the band's message board, "The War is Over" gained much popularity within the World of Warcraft film-making community and was considered for a second single.

When they were known as 41Down, the track that bore the title of this album was later remade for their album The Lonely Position of Neutral as the track "Falling Apart".
