"First things first, though this release date since 2012, it is never too late to discover good music, even more so when Incarcerated, the fourth album from Finnish Pain Confessor stayed away from any recognition that he deserved. What is shame because the band created something very interesting here." "We can only hope it is not too late, and that this review will in time to warn some people for this diamond in the rough, lost somewhere in the year of 2012." 8.6/10

— António Salazar Antunes, Metal Imperium

"Haste makes waste – which could be the motto for this CD as well as for its review. Pain Confessor from Finnish Hämeenlinna are back after a 4-year-hiatus, with a powerful album that almost failed to capture our attention… And this would have been an unforgivable mistake because Incarcerated is a great album that naturally made it to Inferno Magazine´s Top 10 in the end of 2012. " 9,5/10

— Klaudia Weber, Stalker Magazine

“After a long period enjoying his album "Purgatory of the Second Sun", the Finnish band surprises us again with their fourth album entitled "INCARCERATED". As its name implies On this new album, they were imprisoned a long time preparing this pleasant surprise, since the band has two new members: drummer Aki Kuusinen and guitarist Jaakko Kunnas, who joined this past year. This album is clearly a big improvement both musically and in sound quality as this new work has managed to get better sound than previous albums. So I would say this is the best work so far that this group has published. 8/10”

— Wolfhound Metal Radio

"Another door opens with the release of Pain Confessor's new album, Incarcerated. Its like they read my mind pertaining to how I wanted their new material to sound like. Dark keyboarding, stellar guitar work, emotional screams, and a barrage of perfectly woven double bass that collectively seals the deal. Additionally, I noticed an improvement in the vocal and scream mix that added significant value to the entire album. Make Kivistö, the vocalist, delivers a full range of screams, growls, and cleans that blend creatively into a doom and melodic sound." 9.2/10

— Phil Isabella, Ultima Music Blog

“Pain Confessor have produced a stonking album. The music they play is an amalgam of all sorts of genres from the crushing extremes of both black and death metal to pristine cleans or stupendously technical passages. To sum it all up if you want something which is crushingly heavy but with some intense melody then this band are certainly for you. I can find no fault with this album or the band except that they deserve to be selling out venues across the world. Spinefarm are on to a winner with this band check them out.”

— HardNoise

"Incarcerated on melodioiltaan hämäläisryhmän tummasävyisin albumi, ja tätä korostavat entistä suuremmassa osassa olevat koskettimet. Ne tuovat hienovaraisessa sinfonisuudessaan mieleen 90-lukulaisen melodisen black metalin, ja viimeistään tämä yksityiskohta tuo sen viimeisen silauksen jo valmiiksi vahvoihin kappaleisiin. Jokohan Pain Confessor nyt saisi sitä jo debyyttinsä aikoihin ansaitsemaansa arvostusta?" 4/5

— Aki Nuopponen, Inferno

"Their lesser material is superior to the best many other bands of this ilk produce, but when they bring all of their gifts together and create multidimensional expressions of rage and despair, they rule this doomed planet."

— Maud, Tartarean Desire

"Quite simply a 45-minute barrage of post-Apocalyptic keyboards, face-flaying dual-guitar thrash riffs and powerhouse drumming. Throw in the kind of melodic choruses that would have Matt Heafy rubbing his chin in wonder and you have what amounts to be a very special metal record indeed."

— Nick Cracknell, Metal Hammer

www.nummirock.fi Juhannuksen perinteikkäin metallifestari, Kauhajoen Nummijärvellä 20.-22.6. juhlittava Nummirock avaa pelin raskaalla kädellä. Lavalle astelee ruotsalainen viikinkimetalliyhtye Amon Amarth sekä kotimaista vauhtia ja soittotaitoa tarjoileva vientitykki Children of Bodom. Kotimaista osaamista melodisen metallin osalta jatkaa pitkään uutukaistaan odotuttanut Wintersun sekä lavakarismaa uhkuva Ensiferum. Mukana ovat myös juhannustunnelmaan loistavasti sopivat Ghost Brigade ja kesän ainoan keikkansa Nummijärvellä soittava Insomnium. Vauhtia juhannukseen tuovat juuri uudet albuminsa julkaisseet Pain Confessor ja Mors Principium Est, kuten myös keväällä tuoreen albumin julkaiseva Nicole. Metalliväelle entuudestaan tuttuja nimiä löytyy myös yhtyeestä nimeltä Sons of Aeon, jonka tammikuussa julkaistava levy on jo nyt kerännyt kiitettäviä arvosteluja alan medioissa. Railakkaan juhannuksen kunniaksi kunnon humpat tarjoilee pari vuotta sitten jättiyleisön päälavan eteen kerännyt Eläkeläiset. Lisää esiintyjiä julkaistaan talven ja kevään mittaan.
