Description

2016, PORTRAIT is the debut album from Swedish traditional heavy metal revivalists Portrait. With their more evil sound and occult-themed lyrics, Portrait is a darker alternative to bands like Wolf, White Wizzard and Enforcer, one that takes its cues more from King Diamond and Mercyful Fate than Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. If you're into this kind of music, Portrait is the kind of band you have to love. They execute their twin lead guitar sound brilliantly, thrashing away when called for, serving up some absolutely mesmerizing solos, and keeping things melodic (they're a Swedish band after all) throughout. The driving rhythms and wicked guitar work is accentuated perfectly by Portrait's singer Philip Svennefelt. Given the increase in popularity of traditionally-inclined heavy metal bands, it's not surprising that a wave of darker bands has emerged. If you're a fan of classic sounding, evil natured heavy metal, you'll absolutely want to check out what Portrait has to offer.
