...The Beginning of The End [LP]

Portrayal of Guilt - ...The Beginning of The End [LP]

Over the last decade, Portrayal of Guilt have solidified themselves as a pillar in the extreme underground music scene. With relentlessly consistent releases like 2023's orchestral nightmare Devil Music, and year-round world touring with the likes of Deafheaven, Uniform, and Pg. 99, the band has unquestionably carved their own path. Defying accurate categorization since formation, the three piece blends elements of black, death, and nu metal with crust, screamo, powerviolence, and hardcore, with ...The Beginning of The End continuing to further obscure genre lines.

The band takes the unhinged discordance to the next level on album standouts "Ecstasy" and "Human Terror," with KoRn-like guitar dissonance, punishing death metal lows, and haunting spoken passages confidently riding the line between Life Is Peachy and Scum.
