Portrayal Of Guilt Release Short Film “Devil Music” — Announce Tour with Fearing, Secret Shame, and More!

Defying the conventional, Portrayal of Guilt is an enigmatic ensemble emanating from Austin, Texas. This post-industrial, doom-laden black metal outfit has been bewitching the music scene with their unique narratives for the past six years. Their peculiar artistry thrives in the realm of unparalleled unpredictability, making it a monumental challenge to anticipate the sonic shifts in their successive creations. The only constant in their compositions is the thematic thread running through their titles, steeped in suffering, seclusion, and subtle suggestions of the supernatural. In keeping with this trend, their trajectory naturally navigates us towards… Devil Music.

With Devil Music, Portrayal of Guilt navigates uncharted territories in the creation of heavy and doom-laden music. Side A teems with five original creations; while Side B hosts a reimagined version of these same pieces, trading the customary guitars and bass for an orchestral string ensemble, an acoustic bass, and brass elements. Having veered their musical direction across several releases (most recently, the 2021 lauded opus CHRISTF**KER), Portrayal of Guilt morphed from adherents of the classic ’90s screamo blueprint to a more intense, sludge-infused and darkened metal silhouette.

“Devil Music” seals Portrayal of Guilt’s status as a group that bows to no norms but their own, even reshaping them according to their whims.

The film is directed by Emmanuella Zachariou. Watch below:

Portrayal of Guilt have announced their first U.S. tour since the release of their latest, acclaimed new album, Devil Music (via Run For Cover). The Summer headliner routes them through Texas, the Midwest, West Coast, Chicago, Nashville and more. GagNuclear Daisies, Fearing and Secret Shame are set to support.
