We've been following the story of Iran's Confess for some time now, who were arrested in 2015 for their music, blasphemy, advertising against the system, forming and running an illegal and underground label in the satanic metal and rock style, writing anti-religious, atheistic, political and anarchistic lyrics, and interviewing with forbidden radio stations.
Confess were able to escape a death sentence through a loophole in sharia law, and were able to make their $30,000 bail before fleeing to Norway. The band were sentenced to 14 years in prison before fleeing to Turkey and releasing the heavy middle finger of a song, 'EVIN'.
Now with political tensions rising in their home country and protests breaking out across the board, they have decided to release another new song to draw awareness to the issue.
Titled 'Army of Pigs!', it's another cut from their upcoming record Revenge At All Costs which is due out in 2020, and it's heavy. Check it out:
Frontman Nikan "Siyanor" Khosravi told Metal Injection about the intent to release this track in a time of need:
During the last few days, the majority of Iranian people became fed up with the regime and the way they are treating people. The government is taking the country to the edge with their economic and foreign policies. The government is throwing people's money away by sending it to the other countries for their political and military ambition. People are being killed cruelly by the police and no one is responsible for this! The unarmed Iranians want their rights! They're awake, angry and united and the thing is that the tripled petrol price is just a beginning to all of these injustices that Iranians are protesting about! The want the whole system to be changed and they ask for a referendum.
Confess did not have any plan to release any songs from our upcoming album, Revenge At All Costs, until 2020 but seeing all of this police brutality made me want to say something! I want to show my respect and support to my people and make awareness as far as I can while no major media cover the news!
"Army of Pigs" is the song that we had completed, and it will be on the record but it wasn't originally intended to become a single. But it seemed appropriate!
We love these guys!
