Confessions of the Fallen is the eighth studio album by heavy metal band Staind. This is the band's first album in 12 years, marking the longest gap between studio albums to date. It was released on September 22, 2023. It is also the first album to feature new drummer Sal Giancarelli, who replaced original drummer Jon Wysocki following the latter's departure in 2011.
Mike Mushok said that Aaron Lewis wanted to experiment with synthesizers and had worked with a programmer to develop these sounds, so the first single "Lowest in Me" has a few synthesizers.
Blabbermouth stated that "'Confessions of the Fallen', 'Cycle of Hurting', is one of the album's heavier songs It's an epic concoction, featuring Lewis's tortured vocals Shortly after the two-minute mark, the song offers an impressive, fiery guitar solo".
AllMusic's review said that "Bolstered by the potent singles 'Lowest of Me' and 'Cycle of Hurting', Confessions of the Fallen stays true to the Staind formula (dark, heavy, introspective, and anthemic), with some tasteful electronic flourishes giving the foundation a fresh coat of paint".
