Swedish rockers Confess are finally back with their long awaited fourth record, their most ambitious album to date marking a bold evolution in their sound.
The band described "Metalmorphosis" in the following way: "It's definitely the ten most well-crafted songs we've ever written, both music and lyric wise. It's fully packed with heavy riffing, big choruses and a whole new level of dynamics. We've pushed ourselves harder than ever and it really shows".
"The album is mixed and mastered by Erik M rtensson (Eclipse) and he has really taken the band's sound to a whole new level", they added.
While staying true to the gritty, hard-hitting energy that has defined the band since their early days in Stockholm, "Metalmorphosis" expands their musical palette with more commercially resonant material, crafting a sound that is both polished and explosively energetic.
Fronted by John Elliot, whose commanding vocals have also been showcased with the legendary Crashdiet, Confess demonstrate a rare balance of raw sleaze-metal grit and melodic sophistication.
On drums, Samuel Samael drives the rhythm with precision and power, while Ludwig Nordlander and Asser Hakala weave dynamic guitar textures that range from shredding riffs to soaring solos. Bassist Lucky anchors the band with a solid low-end punch, rounding out a lineup that is firing on all cylinders.
Since their formation, Confess have earned a reputation for their relentless commitment to the sleaze/metal aesthetic, infusing their work with memorable hooks, arena-ready choruses, and a devil-may-care attitude.
With "Metalmorphosis", the band take this ethos to a new level, delivering songs that are as catchy as they are ferocious, and as bold as they are accessible. It's a record that will appeal to longtime fans of the band while opening doors to a wider audience, showcasing Confess at their most confident and inspired yet.
