A Killer's Confession

What happens when you step inside the mind of a killer? A Killer’s Confession transforms inner conflict, madness, and moral ambiguity into darkly infectious melodies, punishing rhythms, and bludgeoning riffs. Fronted by Waylon Reavis, whose commanding vocals helped define an era of Cleveland metal veterans Mushroomhead, the band has carved out its own identity, fusing crushing heaviness, haunting electronics, and sinister hooks with dark psychological storytelling. Since launching A Killer’s Confession in 2016, Reavis has forged a distinct identity beyond his Mushroomhead legacy, amassing tens of millions of streams with songs like “Numb” and “Angel On The Outside,” while collaborating with Korn’s Brian “Head” Welch, Mudvayne’s Chad Gray, and Gemini Syndrome’s Aaron Nordstrom. On Victim 3 (MNRK Heavy), the band brings its ambitious Victim trilogy to a brutal conclusion, following a vigilante serial killer to death row. From a dark reimagining of The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” to the relentless “The One” and haunting finale “Worth Saving,” the album explores vengeance, consequence, and the point of no return. For Reavis, A Killer’s Confession is more than a band. It’s a deeply personal creative vision built around immersive storytelling, psychological darkness, and the blurred lines between justice and revenge. “This is an art project of storytelling and madness,” says Reavis. “It gave me purpose. It gave me youth. It gave me fire. It gave me a universe.”
