The Confession - Requiem

The Confession will be coined by naysayers as Avenged Sevenfold’s little brother followers, but who gives a shit. The band’s full-length album Requiem shreds. Sure The Confession sound a little like Avenged, hell the album was produced by M. Shadows, but hats off to these boys for trying.

The Confession may not have the musical talent expressed by Avenged, yet they carry that sleazy swagger that rock and roll should be. From the well-annunciated f-bombs to the dual guitar harmonies these So-Cal boys are sure to make a mark in the business.

By Inserting hooks in all the right places on tracks like “Dance with the Devil” and “Time is Gone” will certainly have kids going apeshit. The album bounces from heavy and fast on “Jealousy” to an acoustic / piano driven track on “Requiem.”

Don’t dismiss The Confession as copycats. Requiem is strong and the band is still in their musical adolescence. It is going to be awesome to watch these boys explode.

Suggested Listening: “The End is Near,” “Jealousy” and “Dance with the Devil”
