Raleigh, NC's Confessor made a name for themselves by crafting unapologetically heavy riffs with a unique flare for rhythmic shifts and odd time signatures. The band created quite a stir by playing all over the southeast and landing two tours in Europe, including the now legendary "Gods of Grind" trek with ENTOMBED, CARCASS, and CATHEDRAL. With the release of their 1991 debut album on Earache Records, Condemned, the group felt as though their chance was at hand to show the world that Confessor was unlike anything else. Unfortunately, record label partnerships and politics forced Confessor off of the U.S. leg of "Gods of Grind" in favor of a more "happening" act. Ongoing struggles with the label led to lineup changes that altered the band's trajectory, and eventually they folded before seeing the mid-'90s. Luckily, over the years Confessor's controversial-yet-pioneering sound became accepted and adored by many in the metal community, ultimately leading to a reunion and follow-up album in 2005. Originally issued in early-2013, Uncontrolled collects all three of Confessor's early demo cassettes onto one CD. These are the recordings that helped the band get signed to Earache Records in 1990, and led to the eventual release of the now-groundbreaking Condemned album. In lieu of the 2013 DVD, this revised edition of Uncontrolled-re-remastered by Jamie King Audio-features an updated tracklist that includes a previously unreleased radio broadcast recorded live on 88.1 WKNC's Chainsaw Rock in 1989, plus an expanded 20-page booklet with lyrics. For the fans, by the fans!
