1. Fronted by Michae… Read Full Bio ↴There are 2 (at least) bands called Confession.
1. Fronted by Michael Crafter (former I Killed the Prom Queen), Confession is one of Australia's leading Hardcore Acts. The band members come from all over Australia, including Melbourne (Victoria), Adelaide (South Australia) and Byron Bay in New South Wales, well known for the breeding ground of Australian Metalcore band, Parkway Drive.
Confession's Debut Album, Cancer, was released during 2009 and was Blunt Magazine's Album of the Year. Since the albums release, the band has gone on many national headline tours aswell as supporting the likes of Parkway Drive and The Amity Affliction.
The band has finished recording their second album with renowned producer Fredrik Nordstrom, released on 23 September 2011, The Long Way Home would be the last release to feature band members Dan Brown ( guitar, clean vocals), Adam Harris (guitar), Tim Anderson (bass) and Shane O'Brien (drums, percussion).
After returning from their European tour supporting Parkway Drive, The Ghost Inside and Miss May I it seem's the members had kicked Crafter from the band, Crafter quickly swooping in and banning the others from the band's facebook page and posting "It's Crafter here. I would like to announce that the members who used to play in this band have tried to double cross me. I have now kicked out all members of the band and will be looking for legit friends to play within the band. SO HEY GET Fucked."
after the last few months searching for members it seems Crafter has decided to draft Doyle and William from local Brisbane acoustic duo D at Sea and will be touring with Doyle and William and 2 more unknown members supporting House vs Hurricane on their upcoming regional Crooked Teeth tour.
2. Kind a youngish thrash/death metal band from Lithuania. Started hanging out together at late 2009. Debuted in 2012 with such a bands like Oboltred, Eliminator and Inheritage. Literally kicked asses during that concert. And now, it's one of those rare Lithuanian bands playing bloody good Thrash metal.
Holy War
Confession Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We walk the earth in search of something more
Our place of. try to wage war on the weak
We walk the earth in search of something more
All pledge of a nation holds the world on its knees
(Fuck) you have the world down on its knees ... gone away
Cast aside, we are looked at ...
Bury your ..., take your life ...
Fuck everything that you did wrong
Fuck everything that you believed in
Fuck everything that you did wrong
Fuck everything that you believed in
Fuck everything that you did wrong
Fuck everything that you believed in
Fuck everything that you did wrong
Fuck everything that you believed in
Faith is fucking dead Your faith is fucking dead
I'll burn it fucking down
I'll burn your churches to the ground
Fuck everything that you did wrong
Fuck everything that you believed in
Fuck everything that you did wrong
The lyrics of Confession's song Holy War are fiercely critical of organized religion and condemn the use of faith to perpetuate violent behavior. The opening lines, "Faith is fucking dead / Your faith is fucking dead," set the tone for the rest of the song, suggesting that blind faith and religious dogma have lost their power and relevance. The track is a scathing indictment of religious institutions that have been corrupted by power, self-interest, and hypocrisy.
The song highlights the destructive impact of religious extremism and encourages listeners to question their own beliefs and values. It suggests that faith should not be a justification for violence or oppression, but instead, should be a guiding force for love, compassion, and understanding. The recurring refrain of "Fuck everything that you did wrong / Fuck everything that you believed in" is a call to reject the harmful aspects of organized religion and to embrace a more humanistic, rational approach to spirituality.
In conclusion, Holy War is a potent critique of organized religion that challenges the listener to think deeply about the role of faith in society. It addresses the dangers of blindly following religious leaders and encourages individuals to embrace personal responsibility for their actions, rather than relying on faith as a crutch or excuse.

Holy shit Ahrens screams sound so different to how he used to do it way back before Joel joined the band! His screams now are badass! Could even say it sounds like Oli Sykes screams from when he was doing stuff like suicide season. Great job!

There was a definite improvement in the stuff that followed after Joel joined though :) I miss Amity's earlier sound... their last two albums have been missing something for me.Â
