HMB´S REVIEW

Staind's album, "Confessions of the Fallen," has generated high anticipation as it marks the band's comeback after a 12-year break. The album comprises 10 intense rock anthems, including hits like "Lowest In Me" and the fresh track "Here And Now."

Critics have commended its powerful energy, especially in standout songs such as "Cycle of Hurting" and "Confessions of the Fallen."
The album's cover, crafted by the renowned Chris Moyen, adds to its allure. Recorded at Moontower Studios under the expertise of Javi Félez, the album embodies a robust death metal vibe with a raw and gritty sound, blending elements from alternative metal, post-grunge, and heavy rock genres. Aaron Lewis's passionate and gruff vocals intensify the emotional depth.
The album has received accolades for its top-notch production, effectively channeling aggression and angst while retaining the memorable singalong qualities.

In essence, "Confessions of the Fallen" signifies a promising return for Staind, showcasing their distinct sound and style.
