Confessor is a progressive doom metal band from North Carolina that made its mark on the
underground metal scene in the late 80’s by combining some of the genre’s essential
elements in a way that no band had attempted before. Once dubbed “the world’s most
obstinately technical metal band”, Confessor’s technically complex interpretation of
traditional doom gained them a reputation also within the progressive metal circles. Their
grand sophomore album Unraveled from 2005 will finally be reissued after two decades on
January 16th via Svart Records.
Following the release of their 1991 debut album, Condemned, Confessor disbanded in 1994
while they were already planning a second album. Sadly, in 2002 the band’s guitarist Ivan
Colon passed away, and in tribute to Ivan, the band re-formed in order to play a benefit
show for him. Things went so well, that they decided to continue after almost a decade
apart. Their second full length Unraveled followed in 2005; an immensely satisfying and
unique blend of majestic Doom Metal raised to the next level.
