Of Tyrants Posts "Confessor" Lyric Video

Virginia Beach's deathcore behemoth Of Tyrants today presents a lyric video for newest single, "Confessor." This track comes from the band's debut full-length album, "A Step Into Darkness," which is scheduled for a spring 2017 release via Flagship Recordings.

"Confessor" is the first piece of new music from Of Tyrants since 2015's "These Days are Deadly" EP. The album was recorded by guitarist Stephen Lally Jr and vocalist Chris Lindsay and was mixed/mastered by Brandon Scurlark at Eltar Studios.

In reference to "Confessor," vocalist Chris Lindsay says this: "I was inspired to write the lyrics for 'Confessor' after reading a series of novels known as The Sword of Truth. The concepts and characters in the song are based off of events that take place throughout the books. Confessors have the power to control their victim's will with just one simple touch. The victim is committed to the Confessor's power instantly, and will do anything to serve and protect the Confessor who touched them.

"In addition, as part of the curse, they fall in love with the one who 'confessed' them, making the bond (or curse) of servitude even stronger. In the series, this power is mostly used for good, and a Confessor is destined to help a man who becomes the Seeker of Truth on his journey. I have always admired Confessors not only for the burden of power they are forced to carry, but for their beauty, resilience in and out of battle, and their high moral standards."
