Description
The relentless, Swedish heavy metal monster known as Portrait was born in the year 2006 with the intention to exterminate the entire world. After the demo tape Welcome to My Funeraltook the underground by storm and the release of an equally successful 7" EPInto the Nothingness (New Iron Age Records, 2007), Portrait closed a one-album deal with German underground label Iron Kodex Records, who licensed the vinyl edition of the self-titled album to High-Roller Records. Two years later, the self-titled debut album sold approximately 5000 copies, making it a high selling release for the label who has also released albums from cult bands such asManilla Road, Metal Church, Darkness, and Trouble. The self-titled album received rave reviews in magazines like Terrorizer (8.5/10), Rock Hard (8/10) and Sweden Rock Magazine (8/10), as well as in the underground press.
