Portrait - "Curtains (The Dumb Supper)" (video)
By worded spells they’re trained to stay in line
Reside in darkness
Dead but dreaming in their endless sleep
Doomed to life this flock of sheep
Endless harrowing of hell in life
Knowledge lost at what cost
The curtains fall before us all
In ignorance they dance the dance
As darkness calls
Resound the horn that makes them close their eyes
Prevailing darkness
Dead but living in a senseless game
Torn apart on roads to fame
Is this the twilight of an age
The dumb supper, when the dead come back to life
This is the dawning of the end
The dumb supper… and the dead shall dance no more
The open wounds can’t heal but yet they smile
Embracing darkness
Dead yet living they all share the meal
The pact with fate forever sealed

Δισκογραφική επιστροφή μετά από τέσσερα χρόνια για τους Portrait. Ο διάδοχος του album "Burn the World" (Αύγουστος 2017) και πέμπτος συνολικά "ολοκληρωμένος" δίσκος των Σουηδών metallers τιτλοφορείται "At One with None" κι έχει προγραμματισθεί να κυκλοφορήσει στα ξεκινήματα του φθινοπώρου...
Δελτίο τύπου: «When it comes to modern heavy metal, there are few bands operating at the same level as Portrait. For a decade and a half, the Swedish unit have been forging their own path, and in the process, infusing life into a longstanding, well-established genre and taking it in new directions.
Following up 2017's acclaimed Burn The World, they return with the mighty At One With None, which was recorded at JFK Studios in Kristianstad, Sweden with Tommy Hansen (Helloween, Hatesphere) handling the mixing. While Portrait fans will immediately recognize it as the work of their heroes, they are not simply rehashing old ideas and treading where they have before.
"One simple 'rule' that I have had personally is that no song written for this album and onwards should be similar to any song that we have already written and released. We have been doing this for 15 years now, and I am proud to say that I think we have managed to find our own identity and sound, which can't really be said about that many bands today. This is our greatest achievement, and the goal is to keep exploring and developing our own sound, without repeating ourselves."
The results of working with this philosophy are undeniable, making for an essential addition to the Portrait canon.»
