Additionally, A Killer’s Confession announce a U.S. tour with labelmates Dogma this November.
On Victim 2, Waylon delves deeper into the concept of the light and dark sides of mankind, and continues the story of a serial killer who wants to bring horrific criminals to justice. But, as he’s learning, there are consequences for his misguided deeds, even if he thinks they are the right thing to do.
Waylon says, “Welcome to Victim 2. This is my proudest moment as an artist. It’s very hard to be a fan of your own music, but it is very easy to become a fan of the people you work with to create the music. So much hard work and determination between myself, Dusty Boles and Evan McKeever was put into finishing the second part of the Victim trilogy. I could honestly say I could not have done it without them. I feel this album pulls at every emotion and takes the listener on a true journey while leaving a void for Victim 3 to finish the story.”
Victim 2 kicks off in bristling fashion with ‘Hopeless Grey’ and ‘In Case Of Emergency,’ but as the story progresses, the collection of songs explores different musical territory. Victim 2 shows how A Killer’s Confession like to blend genres, notably on the track ‘Hollow.’ While the song may have an aggro guitar sound, there’s a pop hook in the chorus, while EDM and trap sounds lurk just below the surface. Throughout Victim 2, the dark inner voices plaguing the murderous vigilante emerge in pitch-shifted fashion to distinguish them from his “normal” self. The unexpected cover of Nirvana‘s ‘Heart Shaped Box’ halfway through the album signals a turning point for the killer as he starts re-evaluating his humanity. The closing track wraps things up in an epic, melodic fashion.
