The relentless, Swedish heavy metal band known as PORTRAIT , will release their new album on September, 3rd via Metal Blade Records. A video for the new single “Phantom Fathomer” is launched to give us a taste for the upcoming album which is going to be mighty and tremendous.
The new album is recorded at JFK Studios in Kristianstad, Sweden with Tommy Hansen (HELLOWEEN, HATESPHERE) handling the mixing and the album artwork is made by Adam Burke.
According to the band: “One simple ‘rule’ that I have had personally is that no song written for this album and onwards should be similar to any song that we have already written and released. We have been doing this for 15 years now, and I am proud to say that I think we have managed to find our own identity and sound, which can’t really be said about that many bands today. This is our greatest achievement, and the goal is to keep exploring and developing our own sound, without repeating ourselves.”
