Aletheia (Ancient Greek: ἀλήθεια) is truth or disclosure in philosophy. It was used in Ancient Greek philosophy and revived in the 20th century by Martin Heidegger.
It is a Greek word variously translated as "unclosedness", "unconcealedness", "disclosure" or "truth". The literal meaning of the word ἀ–λήθεια is "the state of not being hidden; the state of being evident." It also means factuality or reality.
In the early to mid 20th-century, Martin Heidegger brought renewed attention to the concept of aletheia, by relating it to the notion of disclosure, or the way in which things appear as entities in the world. While he initially referred to aletheia as "truth", specifically a form that is pre-Socratic in origin, Heidegger eventually corrected this interpretation, writing:
Heidegger gave an etymological analysis of aletheia, and drew out an understanding of the term as 'unconcealedness'. Thus, aletheia is distinct from conceptions of truth understood as statements which accurately describe a state of affairs (correspondence), or statements which fit properly into a system taken as a whole (coherence). Instead, Heidegger focused on the elucidation of how an ontological "world" is disclosed, or opened up, in which things are made intelligible for human beings in the first place, as part of a holistically structured background of meaning.
Aletheia is the second studio album from Hope for the Dying. Facedown Records released the album on March 19, 2013. Hope for the Dying worked with Joshua Barber, in the production of this album.
Awarding the album four stars from HM Magazine, David Stagg states, it "is a grandiose, technical-metal effort that's truly indulgent." Ian Webber, rating the album an eight out of ten at Cross Rhythms, says, "this album is fast, furious and has enough about it to set it apart in an overpopulated hard music scene." Giving the album three and a half stars for Jesus Freak Hideout, Kevin Hoskins writes, "Aletheia will be an album to be sought after by most of the hardcore scene." Michael Weaver, awarding the album four stars by Jesus Freak Hideout, describes, "it is over one hour of musical brilliance." Rating the album an eight out of ten for Mind Equals Blown, Tim Dodderidge writes, "Aletheia is an example-setter for other current metal bands on how to do metal right." Lee Brown, giving the album four stars from Indie Vision Music, states, "Aletheia is not your typical metal release… it is so much better than that."

Aletheia may refer to:
Hey, come in, forget all about the memories that you’ve created
today is a brand new tale
It’s gonna be a bumpy ride let’s give it a try
So come this way everybody has been waiting for you
now come this way we have a party and we’re waiting for you
I can’t remember the last time I saw myself alive
This is a shore, my ship is broken but this time I must let go
Aletheia I will chase you
All my life I’ve tried to see behind this wall of blasphemy
with open eyes and open hearts there’s no one else to trust
Unveil the lies, give us a sign, strike a match we’ll fade the dark
It’s up to you in front of them don’t close your blinds again
Now’s the time to tear
down the door I have been seeing from the start
and I will fight
reality won’t wait for me I have to run
