Beginning of the End [CD]

Portrayal of Guilt - Beginning of the End [CD]

Over the last decade, Portrayal of Guilt have solidified themselves as a pillar in the extreme underground music scene. With relentlessly con- sistent releases like 2023's orchestral nightmare Devil Music, and year-round world touring with the likes of Deafheaven, Uniform and Pg. 99, POG have unquestionably carved their own path. De- fying accurate categorization since formation, the three piece blends elements of black, death and nu metal with crust, screamo, powerviolence and hardcore, with the bands forthcoming LP... The Beginning of The End" continuing to further ob- scure genre lines. The band takes the unhinged discordance to the next level on album standouts "Ecstasy" and "Human Terror", with KoRn-like gui- tar dissonance, punishing death metal lows, and haunting spoken passages confidently riding the line between Life is Peachy and Scum.
