However, that same year, two new guitarists Nikola Cuturilo, nicknamed Cutura, (short for his last name, means "flask"), and Vidoja Bozinovic - Dzindzer, (pronounced Ginger), join the band.

In 1985, in a period of two weeks, "Fish Stew" records their angriest and heaviest album to date, called "The Truth". "Truth" became both famous and notorious at the same time. You either loved it or you hated it. The album was very political, and widely criticized. The regime was outraged by the political nature of the songs, and the album was even banned and recalled for several years. This, however, did little to stop the song "Look Homeward, Angel" from being proclamed "hit of the year", and later "hit of the decade". It would be pretty safe to say that the song is pretty much the hit of the century as well, even though it was never officially announced. Just about any person who was born and lived in the former Yugoslavia, has heard the song and knows who performs it.
