Confess is a
Swedish band formed in 2008.
“Jail” is
their first album, released after a demo and an EP (“The Gin Act”).
The guys
define their style as hard-rock/heavy metal with 80’s influences.
In my
opinion, Confess plays sleaze music, and I don’t mind if some people says they
sound like Hardcore Superstar or Crashdiet : their music is fuckin’ good !!
I’m not a music
specialist or a musician ; therefore, my review is only based on my own feeling
and emotions.
“Jail” is
composed by 13 tracks (one of which is a cover).
The first time
I listened to this album, it was love at first sight ! And since that, I play
it every day : it makes me on a great mood !
This album
is very punchy, with some good and well written lyrics, amazing guitars, good
drums, fuckin’ bass and perfect backing vocals and vocals.
I love all
the songs ! Here’s my feeling about my favs :
“Relationshit” and “Scream” were already known
when the album was released : kick ass songs with chorus that stay in your head
and during which you just want to headbang and jump until you die !
“Pay before
I go” is THE song !!!! I can listen to this one all day long… It’s a very energic and powerful
one ; “air guitar” mode “on” !!
“Take Aim”
is a wonderful ballad. I’m not very fan of this kind of songs… but this one is
absolutely beautiful… Nice melody, emotional sing and great and strong lyrics.
It’s not a "love song" as we usually used to hear… It makes me
crying... pure emotion.
“Bloodstained
Highway” is a very catchy song and “Setting Sails” has a very nice Irish bridge
!
The rest of
the album is pure happiness : killer riffs, beautiful solos, perfect rhythmic section… We can even find a little symphonic touch in “Intervention”, with a very pure
and emotional part.
And to
finish this excellent 1st album, Confess has made a very good Tina Turner’s
cover “What’s Love Got to Do With It”; if you don’t like the original song,
you’re gonna love this one !!
Sweden has a
bunch of awesome metal bands. And now, you can count Confess in ! They are very
talented, play some very good music, have a rockin’ attitude and look, and last
but not least, they’r’e very friendly.
You must
absolutely buy this album.
Turn up the
volume and “Scream” !!!!
