PORTRAIT

Vinyl version in 2-LP with gatefold cover of the 2nd album from 2011 by Swedish PORTRAIT, one of the leading bands of the modern traditional Heavy Metal revival. Building upon the strong foundations of their debut, the band took a significant step forward with a more ambitious and refined release, further embracing the influence of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and the dark, occult atmosphere associated with Mercyful Fate. Sharp riffing, superb twin-guitar harmonies and commanding vocals define an album filled with character and conviction.

On "Crimen Laesae Majestatis Divinae", the band masterfully blends epic songwriting, memorable melodies and sinister atmospheres with outstanding musicianship and an organic production that perfectly captures the timeless spirit of classic Heavy Metal. A powerful and inspired release that firmly established PORTRAIT among the finest acts of the new traditional Metal movement.
