But it is his current Victim trilogy where he delves \r\ndeeper into that concept and which truly lives up to the \r\nband's name. The new album Victim 2 (MNRK Heavy), the \r\ngroup's fi fth studio release, continues the story of a serial \r\nkiller who wants to bring horrifi c criminals to justice. But, \r\nas he's learning, there are consequences for his misguided \r\ndeeds, even if he thinks they are the right thing to do.\r\n\"I write this stu for people to understand that we all have these \r\nthoughts,\" Reavis says. \"Like the devil's advocate - you've \r\nalways got that devil on your shoulder, or that impulse, that little \r\nscratch on the side of your head that says, I want to do that. I've \r\nalways been intrigued with that.\"\r\nReavis found further inspiration in the 2001 horror movie Frailty, \r\nin which the \"God's Hand\" serial killer murders people that he \r\nbelieves to be demons and that he is doing God's will. The \r\nantagonist of the Victim trilogy follows a similar path. In Victim \r\n1, he went after people who had committed one of the Seven \r\nDeadly Sins, particularly those preying on young, innocent \r\nvictims. In this sequel, he is reveling in his murder spree too \r\nmuch and faces a crisis of conscience.\r\nAs in his previous band Mushroomhead, Reavis dons a mask \r\nonstage. \"It's not just a gimmick. I'm showing you what's on the \r\ninside, but at the same time it's what the fans want from me,\" he \r\nexplains, \"I'm putting the mask on because I'm trying to explain \r\nwho the character really is.\"\r\nVictim 2 kicks o in bristling fashion with \"Hopeless Grey\" \r\nand \"In Case Of Emergency,\" but as the story progresses the \r\ncollection of songs explores di erent musical territory. Victim 2 \r\nshows how A Killer's Confession likes to blend genres, notably \r\non the track \"Hollow.\"\r\nThroughout Victim 2, the dark inner voices plaguing the \r\nmurderous vigilante emerge in pitch-shifted fashion to distinguish \r\nthem from his \"normal\" self. The unexpected cover of Nirvana's \r\n\"Heart Shaped Box\" halfway through the album signals a turning \r\npoint for the killer as he starts re-evaluating his humanity. The \r\nclosing track wraps things up in an epic, melodic fashion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.
