PORTRAIT – The Host 2LP

For almost 20 years, Portrait from Sweden have delivered their Heavy Metal darkness to the world. The bands development since the debut demo in 2006 is remarkable. Ever since then, Portrait has managed to develop and stretch their sound into several territories, without losing touch with their original core. Founder and guitarist Christian Lindell describes the new album as an occult tale of sword and sorcery, accompanied by some of the most passionate Heavy Metal ever recorded. The Host is our first concept album. The story takes place in 17th century era Sweden and revolves around an unnamed protagonist who, because of his experiences with the injustice and hypocrisy of this world, decides to seek truth and strength through its Adversary.
