Interview: Stephen MacConville (Lead Vocals) of Confessions Of A Traitor

from GBHBL Interviews · host Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

London metalcore quartet Confessions Of A Traitor will release their new album ‘This Pain Will Serve You’ on May 16th via Facedown Records. While it’s not always easy to get that excited about metalcore these days, purely because of oversaturation, when a band as strong as Confessions Of A Traitor has new music, excitement is all anyone will be feeling. The Londoners are a mighty band, capable of delivering brutish heaviness, but also immense melody, and almost always wrap this all up in an anthemic way. Which might all sound ‘par for the course’ for metalcore, but trust me, Confessions Of A Traitor do it better than most and all the proof you need is on this album. Approaching every track with the kind of intensity normally reserved for more extreme efforts and pouring an incredible amount of passion into everything. Alongside that, it’s an album with feeling, and if you’re willing, you can connect to it in unexpected ways.
