A Killer’s Confession, which features ex-Mushroomhead frontman Waylon Reavis has debuted the lyric video below for their new single, “Filth“. The track is from the band’s upcoming concept album, Victim 1, which is set to release on September 13th.
Reavis offered regarding the song:
“‘Filth‘ is a personal favorite. It’s another chapter in the lore of Victim 1. I personally love the upbeat feel of this song, especially when playing it live. If you have caught an AKC show in the last few months, you have been lucky enough to hear it already. I feel our production team of Dusty Boles and Evan McKeever really helped me knock this one out of the park. The song takes you on a journey through the killer’s eyes.”
Regarding the album he said:
“‘Victim 1‘ might possibly be my favorite album I’ve ever been a part of. AKC stepped completely out of the box to write ‘Victim 1‘. I brought in new producers [Dusty Boles and Evan McKeever] to help rebrand the sound of the band. I took most of last year off and did not tour in order to write this album.
The focus I found during this time really helped me flesh out the new sound and the direction in which I wanted to go. Personally, I feel that this is the true sound of A Killer’s Confession, and in my honest opinion, I feel like this is the first true AKC album. Every time I listen to the album, I sit back and smile, because I’ve never had that feeling before with AKC. The tone and atmosphere is completely different from anything we’ve ever done.”
Regarding the concept of the album, Reavis said:
“A year ago, I was like, ‘What if we have a character who is fed up with the world? In his heart, he knows what’s going on isn’t right, so he does something about it. On each song, he addresses a sin — whether in himself or against some horrible person. The conversations are either in his head or with the victim. You think, ‘If I was a guy who had the ability to find these people, how would I react?’ He’s got to do this, yet it’s destroying him since he’s truly a kind spirit. He has no regrets though.”
