A Killer's Confession is an American alternative metal band from Cleveland, Ohio formed in 2016 by former Mushroomhead vocalist Waylon Reavis. It also currently consists of bassist JP Cross and keyboardist Richard "Stitch" Thomas.
In September 2016, Waylon Reavis announced on Facebook that his new project, A Killer's Confession, had signed a deal with EMP Label Group who would release their debut album Unbroken in Spring 2017. The album was partially recorded and mixed at Kentucky's Third Sky Studio with Reavis, and co-Producers Thom Hazaert and Richard Easterling. [5] On Halloween 2016 AKC released their debut single "A Killer's Confession", featuring a guest performance by Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch. [6] The band played their first shows in December 2016, with Dead By Wednesday, culminating in a hometown show at the Cleveland Agora on December 17, featuring guitarist Matthew Trumpy, bassist JP Cross and drummer Jon Dale. [7]
The band would have increasing success with the release of albums The Indifference of Good Men, [8] Remember, and Victim 1. [9] Following the success of Victim 1 the band would embark on the A horrifying trip back to the 2000s tour featuring former Mushroomhead members including vocalist Jason "J Mann" Popson and keyboardist Tom "Shmotz" Schmitz. The line-up would change to feature Popson, drummer Daniel "Lil' Dan" Fox, guitarist Thomas "Tankx" Shaffner and eventually keyboardist Richard "Stitch" Thomas. After the tour concluded the prior line-up had dissolved except for Reavis and Cross, with Thomas joining full time. [10]
