ANNOUNCED
…Beginning of the End is the latest album from Portrayal of Guilt, a curious title for a bandthat has treated each release like a new creative start, constantly reinventing themselvessince their inception less than a decade ago. In that relatively short time, the Austin trio havenot only toured the world over, created their own musical eco-system and released threeseminal full-length albums, they have done it in a manner that avoided compromise,welcomed free experimentation and avoided labels outside of "menacing," “compelling” and“must hear.” Portrayal of Guilt made an immediate impact in underground circles with their debut Let PainBe Your Guide by mixing nihilistic hardcore, black metal, classic screamo, and imaginativetextures. We Are Always Alone and CHRISTF\*CKER LPs followed in 2021, the band’sbreakout body blows that corroded the band’s commitment to genre, nodding at industrialmusic, post-metal, sludge and even post-hardcore, all while cementing the band’stendencies toward experimentalism. Portrayal of Guilt’s fearless spirit reimagined their ownsound as classical (Devil Music EP) and EBM / goth (CHRISTF\*CKER II) on more recentefforts. And though the pacing of releases and the band’s evolution has remained steady,Portrayal of Guilt’s execution has kept their audiences hungry for the band’s ever-evolvingsound. Clocking in at around 32 minutes across eleven new tracks, …Beginning of the End wasrecorded and mixed by Phillip Odom between March-June 2025 with mastering handled byWill Yip. …Beginning of the End embraces both the groove and avant garde, revisiting theraw, teeth-gnashing intensity of their previous work while toying with nu-metal, alternativerock, trip hop, dark ambient and other disparate influences. The latest effort feels like a bandthat has traversed every shadowy corner of heavy music, distilling their decade of innovationand knowledge into a singular show of force, recalling moments of greatness found onreleases from Deftones, Massive Attack, Dystopia, Deathspell Omega, Celtic Frost andCursed among many others. …Beginning of the End, due on April 24th is Portrayal of Guilt’s fourth studio album in eightyears, and third with Run for Cover. As with all prior releases, expect Portrayal of Guilt totake these new songs to the ends of the Earth, further cementing their monolithic touringreputation– one that has seen the band play around the world with the likes of Botch,Majority Rule, Baroness, Deafheaven, pg.99, Thou, Sumac, and many more.
