The Confession was an American heavy metal band from Dana Point, California. Shortly after their formation in 2005, they went on to tour with such bands as Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet for My Valentine and Megadeth and were slotted on Rockstar's 2006 Taste of Chaos tour. The band announced their breakup in January 2008 after touring with Avenged Sevenfold. In the three years that The Confession were together, they released a self-titled five-song EP and their only full-length album, Requiem (produced by M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold).{{cite web |title=The Confession |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-confession-mn0000245277 |website=AllMusic}}{{cite web |title=THE CONFESSION ARE DUNZO |url=https://www.metalsucks.net/2008/01/24/the-confession-are-dunzo/ |website=MetalSucks |language=en |date=January 24, 2008}}
