Confessor is a progressive doom metal ensemble originating from Raleigh, North Carolina, United States. They are distinguished by their intricate and technically demanding interpretation of classic doom metal, securing a respected status within the progressive metal community. To date, the group has produced two full-length studio albums.
Following the release of their initial album, Condemned, in 1991, Confessor disbanded in 1994 amid plans for a follow-up record. The band reunited in 2002 and has continued to perform and record since then.
