Confession Bursts Back Onto The Scene with Surprise Anti-Religion Anthem, 'Cardinal Hell'

Fresh from his soft launch return to the heavy scene during a live rendition of 'Boneyards' on Parkway Drive's 20th Anniversary Tour, the one and only mosh king Michael Crafter has gifted fans another reason to keep throwing down with Confession's brand spanking new song 'Cardinal Hell'.

Confession and Crafter are no strangers to the anti-religion movement (although they've never really burned a church down in the past) and this new fiery offering - mixed and mastered by Dan Brown (The Amity Affliction/Confession) - finds the duo back in action again lining up the cult-like organisations - and calling out their exploitive practices with a ferocious, in your face approach that's guaranteed to have you smashing your head in agreeance.

As Crafter bellows out the words 'Religion still prays on the heartstrings of the weak / religion still prays on the youth down on its knees' you will be listening attentively all the way to the ear-piercing breakdown call of 'DO NOT RESUSCITATE' - made extra impactful by the visuals displayed in the lyric music video below.

On the new track and surprise release, Crafter shares with us:

"We just wanted to do something heavy with the same feel as the Cancer era, back to Dan making songs on his laptop like when we started. It’s cool just to put something out every now and again."

And, when asked about the messaging in the music, he simply stated:

"Because the merch for Holy War did so well, why not keep the same vibe. Clothing brand with a sound track hahahaha. But anyway Rot In Hell Cardinal Pell."
