A Killer’s Confession, the band led by former Mushroomhead vocalist Waylon Reavis, has returned with “Roses,” the new single from its forthcoming sixth studio album, “Victim 3,” due Nov. 13, 2026, via MNRK Heavy. The song has arrived with an official music video directed and produced by Dusten Boles. Watch the video below, and pre-order the new album here.
“‘Roses’ was written from a point of view of where everything that you have done was in vain,” Reavis said. “We’ve all been to that point of feeling unappreciated, but I feel like roses is a statement of it doesn’t matter what you do as long as you and only you know why you did it. In the end, never look for a pat on the back, because you’ll never get the acknowledgment that you’re seeking. There will be no roses on my grave.”

“Victim 3” brings A Killer’s Confession’s three-record narrative to its conclusion. Following “Victim 1” and “Victim 2,” the new album finds its central character, a vigilante serial killer who targeted some of society’s worst offenders, finally facing the consequences of his actions on death row. What may have begun with a warped sense of justice has given way to something far more sinister, bringing the trilogy’s themes of morality, vengeance and accountability full circle.
Created around the core of Reavis, Evan McKeever and Dusty Boles during sessions in Nashville, Tennessee, and Denver, Colorado, “Victim 3” expands the sound and storytelling of its predecessors. From the dark electronic textures and haunting melodies of “Roses” to the violent grooves of “Meat Hook,” the aggression of “The One” and the final resignation of “Worth Saving,” the album follows its protagonist through the last stages of his descent and toward an ending from which there is no redemption.
For Reavis, the “Victim” trilogy has grown into something much larger than a series of records. “This is an art project of storytelling and madness,” he said. “It’s a collection of stories from different individuals in separate time periods with their own agendas. For me, it’s a big passion project. It’s closer to my heart than anything I’ve ever done. I’ve done great things in my career, but nothing compares to this. It gave me purpose. It gave me youth. It gave me fire. It gave me a universe.”
This fall, A Killer’s Confession will embark on the Everything Comes Full Circle Tour,” joined by Dizasterpiece and Dead Things.
