Confession ProfileWalking headline Michael Crafter returns, sporting a new incarnation in metalcore moshers Confession. Hardship and joy filters into the frontman's more introspective lyrics, Crafter spitting venom at assorted foes on their third full–length accompanied by Confession's hallmarks: seismic-shifting if monotonous breakdowns and chugging guitars. Pre-released Fuck Cancer is a sonic ground zero, although the likes of string-infused March 23 showcase a sensibility rarely noted in the past amidst the bludgeoning. Amity Affliction, Northlane and Misery Signals members provide welcome vocal respite, former's Ahren Stringer affording an unexpectedly vicious turn on Holy War.
