Doomed Confessionary: Jesse Stilettö
Jesse Stilettö is a psychedelic/heavy rock band hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The strands of infinity are in place and the great eclipse draws near. On March 14th, 2025 under the shadow of the total lunar eclipse, a reawakened sonic relic will emerge – an offering carved from the stars and forged in the blazes of fractured time. The gates have opened.
Jesse Stilettö’s self-titled debut album was recorded & mixed by Chris Hoge. Mastered by Dan Coutant at Sun Room Audio. Album cover by Mirkow Gastow. Back cover, booklet & layout by Jesse Stilettö.
