Divebomb Records proudly presents CONFESSOR "Uncontrolled" CD available on 3/14/2025.
Raleigh, NC's CONFESSOR made a name for themselves by crafting unapologetically heavy riffs with a unique flare for rhythmic shifts and odd time signatures. The band created quite a stir by playing all over the southeast and landing two tours in Europe, including the now legendary "Gods of Grind" trek with ENTOMBED, CARCASS, and CATHEDRAL. With the release of their 1991 debut album on Earache Records, Condemned, the group felt as though their chance was at hand to show the world that CONFESSOR was unlike anything else.
Unfortunately, record label partnerships and politics forced CONFESSOR off of the U.S. leg of "Gods of Grind" in favor of a more "happening" act. Ongoing struggles with the label led to lineup changes that altered the band's trajectory, and eventually they folded before seeing the mid-'90s. Luckily, over the years CONFESSOR's controversial-yet-pioneering sound became accepted and adored by many in the metal community, ultimately leading to a reunion and follow-up album in 2005.
Originally issued in early-2013, Uncontrolled collects all three of CONFESSOR's early demo cassettes onto one CD. These are the recordings that helped the band get signed to Earache Records in 1990, and led to the eventual release of the now-groundbreaking Condemned album. In lieu of the 2013 DVD, this revised edition of Uncontrolled—re-remastered by Jamie King Audio—features an updated tracklist that includes a previously unreleased radio broadcast recorded live on 88.1 WKNC's Chainsaw Rock in 1989, plus an expanded 20-page booklet with lyrics. For the fans, by the fans!

BOOTCAMP SERIES #49
DECLASSIFIED INFORMATION:
WARFARE D.C. took shape during the late-80s, formed from the remnants of little-known Daly City, CA metal unit Armament when drummer Will Carroll and guitarist Ted Aguilar joined forces with Teds older brother, Rob, on bass. With the intention of moving in a more intense and thrash-centric direction, the trio quickly worked toward tracking a raw, two-song demo at the Machine Shop in San Francisco.
Having honed their crunchy, energetic brand of crossover-esque thrash with Rob and Ted splitting vocal duties, WARFARE D.C. hit Audio Voyage Studios later in 1990 for the four-song Lethal Injection demo. Produced by Sean Killian from Vio-lence with engineer Doug Mann—and utilizing some of Vio-lences gear in the process—the new material was recorded and mixed in just two days. A far stronger example of the groups crisp, hard-hitting attack, Lethal Injection was more than enough to begin creating a local buzz throughout the Bay Area.
At that time, WARFARE D.C. was joined by second guitarist Chris Wise, formerly of Epitaph. Another four-song demo, Victims, was then recorded at Dreamland Productions in 1991, produced by Nick Felczer and Mike Wells (both from Wrekking Machine). Boasting more professional artwork as well as a concept behind the lyrical direction, Victims found the bands sound taking on a darker tone—in part inspired by groundbreaking works from acts like Sepultura and Suffocation—with more technical riffing and a more sinister and aggressive vocal approach.
Having been involved with such a legendary era of the Bay Area thrash scene, WARFARE D.C. was fortunate enough to have performed with the likes of Vio-lence, Forbidden, The Organization, Prong, Death, and many more. Despite nibbles from labels, however, the band never secured the opportunity to record an album. Frustrations and turmoil within the lineup brought things to a close by early-1993, though Ted and Will continued into the mid-90s with Brood (and became bandmates again years later alongside their old friends in Death Angel).
30-plus years later, Divebomb Records is eager to present Reflection: a CD compiling WARFARE D.C.s Lethal Injection and Victims demos, completely remixed and remastered, with the original 90s mixes as bonus tracks. This long overdue collection will be packaged with a 20-page booklet including photos, flyers, lyrics, and an extensive retrospective interview with the entire band. For the fans, by the fans!
