Listening to A Killer's Confession leaves a mark. Transmuting inner conflict into malevolently catchy melodies and bludgeoning rhythms, the band, fronted by Waylon Reavis, channels sociopathy through sound, music that could soundtrack a true crime podcast or ignite a festival pit.

The project began in 2016, with fans first knowing Waylon from his decade-plus in Mushroomhead. Over the following ten years, A Killer's Confession racked up tens of millions of streams through tracks like "Numb" and "Angel on the Outside," collaborating with Brian "Head" Welch, Chad Gray, Aaron Nordstrom, and JMANN along the way.

Victim 1 (2024) and Victim 2 (2025) earned acclaim from Ghost Cult Magazine and Infrared Magazine, who called it "not a reinvention, a rupture." Victim 2 also spawned a fan-favorite cover of Nirvana's "Heart-Shaped Box," nearing a million YouTube views.

Offstage, Waylon fights injustice in real life: working with children at a residential treatment facility, supporting trafficking victims, and producing an annual Toys for Tots concert for ten years running.

On sixth album Victim 3 (MNRK Heavy), the band concludes their most ambitious storyline yet, following the serial killer from the previous two records to his fate on death row, closing this chapter while opening the door for what comes next.
