Confessor is an American doom metal band from Raleigh, North Carolina. By their technically complex interpretation of traditional doom style, they are also a well-known name within progressive metal circles. To date, the band has released two full-length studio albums.

Following the release of their 1991 debut album, Condemned, Confessor disbanded in 1994 while they were already planning a second album, but reformed in 2002 and are still active today.[1]
