Confession is a pivotal entity in the Australian metalcore landscape, formed in 2008 by Michael Crafter following his departure from I Killed the Prom Queen. The band's sound identity is characterized by a fusion of melodic hardcore's emotional urgency and the technical, breakdown-centric approach of modern metalcore.
Their debut LP, 'Cancer' (2009), solidified their position in the scene, earning critical acclaim for its cohesive aggression. The band's history is famously marked by internal volatility, most notably the 2012 incident where Crafter dismissed the entire lineup via social media, a move that became part of the band's lore. Musically, they utilized high-end production, working with Fredrik Nordstrom to achieve a 'Gothenburg sound' influence on 'The Long Way Home'. They occupy a central node in the Australian 'Byron Bay/Melbourne' heavy music web, closely linked to Parkway Drive and The Amity Affliction. Their influence persists through their contribution to the 'Australian sound' of the 2010s, characterized by high production values and mosh-ready song structures.
