Portrayal of Guilt is back with another double blast after releasing two singles earlier this month to kick off their new album cycle, as per theprp. Videos of “Object Of Pain” and “Death From Above” from the blackened post-hardcore band’s next album, “Beginning Of The End,” may be found below. Both were shot under Craig Murray’s direction, just like their immediate predecessor. Additionally, they carry on the plot of the “Ecstasy” video. On April 24th, “Beginning of the End” will be released.

Bassist Blake Given of Austin screamo group Lyed teamed up with guitarist and singer Matt King and drummer James Beveridge of Austin hardcore band Illustrations to form Portrayal of Guilt. With Centuries, Majority Rule, Planning for Burial, Street Sects, and Slow Fire Pistol, the trio toured widely throughout the United States and Europe after releasing their self-titled EP in May 2017. They had previously toured with the industrial hardcore band Street Sects, with whom they released a split EP in March 2018 that received positive reviews. Deathwish Inc. reissued its self-titled 7 in the same month.

The band started a campaign to promote their full-length studio album by releasing a single-sided 5″ single with the song “Chamber of Misery (Pt. 1)” in July 2018, right before starting a full U.S. tour with French post-hardcore mainstays Birds in Row. On September 6 of that year, the album’s title, “Let Pain Be Your Guide”, was revealed simultaneously with the release of the single “A Burden.” The album’s second single, “Your War,” which included vocals by Dylan Walker of Full of Hell, was released on October 1. The final single from the album, “Among Friends,” was released on October 24. NPR began playing the entire album on November 12.

In addition to extra vocals by Matt Michel of Majority Rule and Maha Shami of NØ MAN, the record features artwork by Chris Taylor of Pg. 99 and Pygmy Lush. “Let Pain Be Your Guide” was published in its entirety on November 18 to widespread praise from critics.
