The new Confessor=good

[matt99_crew]

Been looking forward to this one since the pair of teaser EPs they put out last year. Cool band, hopefully they'll find some success with this album.

I don't know anything about Confessor but I keep hearing them being hailed. What do I need to know?

 

[matt99_crew]

They were around for awhile in the late '80s and early 90's but their only album was Condemned. Technical, kind of thrashy doom. They disappeared for awhile and one of the orginal members died. They recorded some stuff and put out two very limited EPs last year. Their sound now is just a little less complex and more doomy, and the vocals are a little more straightforward. New album comes out in a couple weeks. I got it for review.

So that one album landed them on the map? Sounds like a cult band....

 

[matt99_crew]

Yep

THEY FUCKING RULE. That is all that needs to be said. The new one is really good. Condemned is one of my favs of all-time.

Condemned is a cult album, for good reason. THough I didn't like it. The vocals were love 'em or hate 'em. I hated 'em. Very high pitched wailing....

 

[Krilons Resa]

Yeah, the vocals are definitely love em or hate em on Condemned, especially since it is so free-form. They are a lot more toned down on Unraveled though.

"Condemned" is like "Cynic meet Solitude Aeturnus" or "Watchtower meet Trouble". High pitched vocals and technical but DOOM riffs. Havent heard the new one yet, but "Sour Times" opened my appetite for good.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Why the FUCK don't more people talk about this band?!?! Honestly!

They're so fucking great.

 

[Necromunchkin]

Probably the usual retarded dislike for singing in metal... about once every six months I spin them and recall how freaking great they are, old and new.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Yeah, Ive been spinning Unraveled a lot lately. Fucking ridiculous.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

I put on "Unraveled" on stereo some days ago after almost a year. Absolutely fantastic, it loses on comparison with "Condemned" only because of the sentimental value of the first one and the lack of surprise of this one... if that is possible when talking about Confessor.
