Iranian-Norwegian metallers Confess continue a landmark year with the release of their searing single “I’m Your God Now”, taken from the reissued edition of their second album ‘In Pursuit Of Dreams’, out now via their EVIN Productions imprint. The remastered release also includes three previously unheard tracks: “Watch The Decay Of Sun”, “Convention”, and “Face-Off”, expanding a record that already holds deep historical and emotional weight for the band.
Discussing the single, the band explain, “When I first wrote “I’m Your God Now”, it carried the rage and defiance of a time when speaking out came with real consequences. Remastering them isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about sharpening the blade.” The track lands with renewed force, channeling resistance and clarity through tightly coiled riffs and unfiltered intensity, sounding as urgent now as when it was first written.
Reflecting on the album’s reissue, frontman Nikan Khosravi describes ‘In Pursuit Of Dreams’ as more than a record. “This isn’t just an album; it’s a piece of history,” he says, recalling its release as the band’s last while still in Iran. The album became a lightning rod for rebellion and expression, placing Confess firmly on the global metal map and establishing the band as a vital voice within Middle Eastern metal.
The reissue arrives alongside continued momentum following Confess’s 2025 album ‘Destination Addiction’, produced by Khosravi and mixed and mastered by Grammy-nominated Alberto De Icaza. That record featured performances from George Kollias and Marzi Montazeri, and earned widespread acclaim from Metal Hammer, Norway Rock Magazine, and Inferno Magazine, underlining the band’s creative and technical evolution.
Confess’s story also reaches a wider audience through their feature in the HULU series ‘Into The Void: Life, Death & Heavy Metal’. Speaking on their inclusion, Khosravi says, “For us, this isn’t just about music. It’s about survival, resistance, and proving that metal has no borders.” Together, the single, reissue, and documentary frame Confess as a band whose music carries lived experience, defiance, and a refusal to be silenced.
