London metalcore quartet CONFESSIONS OF A TRAITOR have announced the release of their upcoming new album This Pain Will Serve You, set for release on 16th May via Facedown Records. Produced by the band and Justin Hill (SikTh, Heart Of A Coward) and mixed by Lance Prenc (Alpha Wolf, Polaris), the eleven track record is set to cement their status as one of the most promising prospects in British heavy music. Pre-order and pre-save the album here.

To celebrate the announcement, the band have shared a majestic music video for their brand new single ‘Still Haunted‘. A gracefully balanced waltz rife with spine-tingling aggression and soaring melodies, the track is an emotionally charged gut-punch that candidly explores the tragedy of loss and the overwhelming weight of grief connected to it.

Speaking on the new single, vocalist Stephen MacConville shares:
“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.”

CONFESSIONS OF A TRAITOR – ‘Still Haunted’

This Pain Will Serve You delves deep into the complex and raw emotions of grief and loss. Through haunting melodies and powerful lyrics, the band explores the universal experience of mourning and the journey toward healing. The album captures the lingering presence of the memories that shape our lives while also reflecting on the beauty that can emerge from the depths of sorrow, serving as a poignant reminder of the enduring impact that those we’ve lost continue to have on us.

Speaking on the record, the band states:
“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.”

Shortly after the album release, the band will be performing a very special show in their London hometown, celebrating the record in the heart of the city they started their journey in. The exclusive UK show will take place at The 229 on 31st May and tickets are available here.
