Incarcerated rated 8.6/10 @ Metal Imperium!

Incarcerated rated 8.6/10 @ Metal Imperium!:

Very rough translation powered by Google Translate:

First things first, though this release date since 2012, it is never too late to discover good music, even more so when Incarcerated, the fourth album from Finnish Pain Confessor stayed away from any recognition that he deserved. What is shame because the band created something very interesting here.

The need to label their sound, the tag Melodeath is inevitable, however their sound ultimately go a little further. Instead of guitar solos unfold into 2 by 2 Be’lakor or minutes as in The Gallery of Dark Tranquillity, just to name examples of more prevalent, they are more concerned about scoring a certain weight through very few riffs in thrash wave, carrying us further into the universe of At the Gates What else, allied to this, a battery pretty powerful sometimes even entering the field the blast beats as in Vitriol.

Which is not to say that the disc is sparing with melody, even with respect to the ropes 6, there is here achieved some soils as well, and this ultimately emanate mostly of keyboards in charge of Pasi Laihanen, though these never assume the role of a too prominent along the disk, serving almost always with element of adornment.

Moreover the voice Make Kiv beyond the registers more extreme, sometimes even singing screams coming from black metal, also has its component that brightens more melodic choruses such as Oceans of Sickness, or Gravel Serpent Spine which, coincidentally, also end up being three of the best themes contained Incarcerated in, with particular attention to the first.

In sum, 10 subjects melodeath spicy, some better than others of course, but They serve as an excellent starting point to discover the career of a group that already vai with 4 studio albums. We can only hope it is not too late, and that this review will in time to warn some people for this diamond in the rough, lost somewhere in the year of 2012.

Stalker Magazine reviews Incarcerated (9,5/10)

Wed, 30 Jan 2013 11:37:52 +0200

Haste makes waste – which could be the motto for this CD as well as for its review. Pain Confessor from Finnish Hämeenlinna are back after a 4-year-hiatus, with a powerful album that almost failed to capture our attention… And this would have been an unforgivable mistake because Incarcerated is a great album that naturally made it to Inferno Magazine´s Top 10 in the end of 2012.

Pain Confessor to support Heaven Shall Burn March 20. 2013!:

HEAVEN SHALL BURN KLUBIKEIKALLE SUOMEEN

Euroopan modernin metallin ykkösnimi Heaven Shall Burn saapuu ensimmäiselle omalle klubikeikalleen Suomeen. Keikka järjestetään keskiviikkona 20.3. The Circuksessa, Helsingissä. Kotimaisina vahvistuksina mukana nähdään Pain Confessor, joka julkaisi syksyllä kauan odotetun uutuuslevynsä ja kotimaisen metalcoren kärkikastiin kuuluva Artificial Heart, jonka debyyttialbumi julkaistaan alkuvuodesta.

Heaven Shall Burn on viime vuosina noussut suureen suosioon ympäri maailman ja kuluva vuosi onkin ollut yhtyeen kiireisin koskaan. Vuoteen on kuulunut keikkoja lähes jokaisessa maanosassa, sekä esiintymisiä Euroopan isoimmilla metallifestivaaleilla, usein jopa pääesiintyjän osassa. Suomessa bändi on käynyt kaksi kertaa aiemmin; ensimmäisen kerran Ilosaarirockissa 2008 ja toisen kerran loppuunmyydyssä Nosturissa As I Lay Dyingin ja Suicide Silencen kanssa 2010.

Illan avaavat kotimaiset, Spinefarmille levyttävät hämeenlinnalainen Pain Confessor ja pääkaupunkiseudulta kotoisin oleva metalcoretulokas Artificial Heart.
