"Unholy Confessions" is a song by Avenged Sevenfold, from their second album, Waking the Fallen.
It was the first single by the band to receive mainstream exposure and was heavily rotated on MTV2's Headbangers Ball.[2]
The song was performed live on January 21, 2004, and has remained a permanent staple of the band's live set (though there have been a few occasions where it was omitted). As of May 2018, it has been performed live a total of 776 times, and is Avenged Sevenfold's most played live song, ahead of the runner up "Bat Country", which has been played a total of 707 times. It is also the only song from Waking the Fallen to have remained a staple of their live set. The song is about two people, who are a couple, whom find out they are both cheating on each other. This song was one of Avenged Sevenfold's last songs in which lead singer M. Shadows uses a raspy, screaming voice. He later switched to a cleaner voice on their third studio album, City of Evil.
