Confessor - Words of Praise 1988

[Doomboss]

Amazing band, love those VHS-footages!

[10Spacin]

Chris Adler of Lamb of God mentions this band at his clinics (San Antonio). Caught his eye and has me checking them out. Great music.

[alifeofarcticsounds]

LOL those people in the pool got terrorized

[TheTomBombadill]

I can't believe someone was making music this brutal in 1988.

[scavengerofdeath22]

@TheTomBombadill Hell yeah, listen to autopsy's severed survival, obviously slayer was out before 88 too. morbid angels demos were heavy as hell too!

[anfibio85]

oh yeeaahh!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blaspherian]

I REMEMBER SEEING THIS ON ACCESS TV HERE IN HOUSTON.GREAT BAND,I LOVE THEIR DEMOS.DEFINATELY UNDERRATED.

[TurkBack2]

That singer is wearing the most metal shorts I've ever seen.

\m/ >< \m/

[Mal3volution]

Ahead of their time.

[eightwillwontcannot]

where the hell can i find 'Words of Praise'?

[xhardcorechicx]

Dude it weird that metal core ( doom metal) would be popular now. I remember going to hardcore shows and wearing punk stud belts and all this shit was underground. Now every thing is so main stream. Make me sick that there are little kids who were Misfit and slayer shirts and who don't know who the bands are. LOL........ If I was at this show I would be the only 7 or 8 year old moshing . Old school hardcore forever !!!!!!

[xhardcorechicx]

I'm just saying how music repeats it self.

[DanPat121]

One from the vaults...great posting! These guys were fucking tight live!

[rustinpieces]

Terrific! I'm afraid we'll have to make do with the two studio albums - their site is still stuck in 03-01-2008. Both are in my all-time metal top-10.

[0penCasket]

I dont understand why they never put this tune on a album. its so sick!

[zoom56ok]

Appreciate these uploads so much

[NoICon66]

F'ing heavy....

[thrasher123]

freakin awesome band! A ton of people hated them (well the metalheads I knew) because it was TOO OUT THERE. but that's what sets them apart! odd time sigs, so called out of key vocal (its not), it was hard to grasp.

On another note, this waterpark i recall was shady back in 1990? I had a cousin that lived near this place and he use to tell me stories about drug addicts hanging out there and just general pervs and peepin toms!!!!! hahahaha.

[thrasher123]

sorry 1999 not 1990 was when my cousin went there...

[xhardcorechicx]

@thrasher123 Yeah when I started to all the shows starting in 1995 at Fitzgeralds there were so many good bands. On another note hell yeah there were a lot of pervs my mother would let me and my sister go any more in 97. The place went to shit by 99. The Alief area is ghetto now.

[Gecsrae]

great vid of confessor. reminds me of a time when Raleigh metal was still interesting.

[haytionette]

have they got a brand new one?

what is the name of the album?

[mattsup69]

i like all the people there. i actually liked his vocals then. hilarious. their new album rules

[Allesinallem]

Did they won?

[tonial111]

pantera meets watchtower... some kind of dream

[jazzdrums610]

many babies were slaughtered during the making of this film.

just discovered confessor a few weeks ago and they have re-sparked my interest in metal, that's saying a lot for me these days.

any other recommendations for this kind of tech/doom type metal...preferably stuff that is raw as hell (i don't like the new studio shine on most new metal albums).

[shroomangel]

You should dig up the early demos of the Maryland band Revelation. I also recommend any Spirit Caravan, or anything with Whino on it. Nasty Savage was cool, in a jeuvenile sort of way. My overall number one suggestion is any pre-1993 Trouble, or Pentagram.

[andywitch666]

try out the new Joe Hasselvander (Pentagram, Raven) solo project, "The Hounds of Hasselvander", kicks ass!..!

[haytionette]

this is the shit,

i am looking for ages for a studio version of this one.

[pgwlgtnnz]

yeh thats gotta be the best footage around??! damn heavy for 88?!

[davis4677]

Shelton you awesome b*stard! This video rules!!!!!

[2old4thisshihaz]

I have never seen these old vids before - thanks so much for posting them!

Definitely one of the most overlooked metal bands of all time - amazing stuff!

Cheers and peace!

DR

[scibetta6]

That intro, shit. That's the stuff. A little pre-Loincloth, if you will.

[nospeedlimit73]

fuck me these guys have GOT IT. Magic!!

Cheers guys

[lanceengland]

I've been a fan of Confessor since 1989 and I've NEVER heard this song. Holy shit it rocks the fuck out!

[deadsurfkiss]

I didn't know they were around in 88, they sound awesome!

[gritaro]

One of my favorite bands over many years.

[electricgreenmachine]

These guys are way ahead of their time... One of the visionary bands in the metal scene. Hell yeah!!!

[harp2085]

I would have been down the front, headbanging. Holy fuck, this is good.

[Nordinavia]

In the wave pool?

[ilsegugio1979]

playing music had sense

[MrPotente]

awsome!!!!

[rock3tsauce]

Oh my god this is so good. Seriously, I am in awe.

[peterparents]

Thanks for posting this!!! amazing, confessor is one of my favourite bands, and this mys friend is what you can call a diamond eheheh!! please share more! or, can you "distribute" the whole concert?!?! that would be something!! cheers

[shroomangel]

Over time, I will post more video of them. I have much more, all from the early days.

[peterparents]

Nice :) thank you!!

[nospeedlimit73]

Pls do - this is awesome, when metal was good, not a carbon copy of a carbon copy like it is these days.

[humandoubles]

yeah!! confessor pre boogs/prs-mosfet technology all the way!!

[haytionette]

confessor is great:)

i love them:)

[mymantleisafreefall]

G O D L Y !One of the few bands that can stand next to the throne of the Almighty WATCHTOWER...Vocals "higher than heaven" n completely expressive,twisted drummer,guitars with feeling n technique,sick bass guitar!You can see the potential although they were at the beginning...G R E A T B A N D !I D E M A N D A N E W A L B U M N O W ! ! !

[deeman1971]

Wow....now that is Old-School!!! Jim (Mobley), told me about the waterpark thing, now I have seen it. You can't mistake Graham and his Les Paul, it's good to see him when he was still with the band. Who is that asshole doing the interview? He needs to go. Nasty Ronnie sends his thanks for the props. Oh by the way, Scott, you've got great legs. ...LMAO

[PlumbeumEquus]

kuvlt.

and I mean it.

...still waiting for Earache to release the whole Gods of Grind Tour.
