London-based metalcore outfit CONFESSIONS OF A TRAITOR have announced their new album, This Pain Will Serve You, set for release on 16th May via Facedown Records. The album, produced by the band alongside Justin Hill (SikTh, Heart Of A Coward) and mixed by Lance Prenc (Alpha Wolf, Polaris) is set to be statement of intent to solidify their name as a driving force in the British heavy music scene. To mark the announcement, the band has unveiled a music video for their latest single, ‘Still Haunted’. An emotionally charged track that blends raw metal intensity with soaring melodies as they deal with themes of grief, loss, and the struggle to move forward.
Vocalist Stephen MacConville sheds light on the deeply personal inspiration behind ‘Still Haunted’: “The song tells the story of my best friend and how he’s struggled with the loss of his partner to suicide. He holds the memories of their relationship so dear. He is haunted by things he could have done differently to prevent her from the path she chose. Dwelling in a limbo where he simply cannot move on from her, falling deeper into sadness as he is surrounded by all of her possessions.”

Speaking on the upcoming album the band shared: “This record is a heartfelt tribute to those who have experienced profound loss — to those who continue to grieve the ones they love. It stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, inviting listeners to find comfort and solidarity in faith, hope, and the shared experience of grief. We grow from trauma — we let it serve us.”
