An anomaly for the d**h 'n' grind-obsessed Earache label, North Carolina's Confessor performed slow and dirgy doom metal, and were formed in 1990 by wailing vocalist Scott Jeffreys, guitarists Brian Shoaf and Ivan Colon, ba**ist Cary Rowells, and drummer Stephen Shelton. Confessor released a debut album called Condemned and an eponymous EP in each of the next two years, but lack of interest in their talents soon drove them to break up. They re-formed a decade later under tragic circumstances to play a benefit for the recently deceased Colon, then while they were together decided to record a 2004 EP entitled Blueprint Soul. ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
