Confessor

Confessor is an American heavy metal band from Raleigh, North Carolina. Due to their technically complex interpretation of this style, they are also a well-known name within progressive metal circles. To date, the band has released two full-length studio albums.

The music press referred to Confessor as "the Next Metallica" at one point, according to Decibel. Although lineup difficulties and other issues prevented the band from achieving commercial success, their influence has been observed in the music of Meshuggah and Lamb of God. MetalSucks wrote in 2023: "Confessor isn’t for everyone, but for those who’ve come to appreciate that incredible amount of originality the band brought to the 90’s extreme metal scene, finding a rare kindred spirit likely results in a couple of beers together."
