The Funeral Portrait’s new EP “Dark Thoughts” out today via Better Noise Music

Coming off two red-hot #1 rock tracks—“Holy Water” (feat Ivan Moody of Five Finger Death Punch) and “Suffocate City (feat. Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills)”—The Funeral Portrait (@tfp_devotion) today (August 22) release to radio the “Dark Thoughts” single from their smash “GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY” album. Described by frontman Lee Jennings as “afinger snapping anthemic banger,” the mental health-themed song also appears on the newly released four-track “DARK THOUGHTS” EP along with a version of the song featuring vocals by Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria, a new remix of the song, and a live performance of it from the band’s Atlanta, GA hometown of Atlanta alongside the original version.

Listen to the “DARK THOUGHTS” EP, released via Better Noise Music, HEREand see the track listing below. Two videos were also released today. View “Dark Thoughts (Beyond The Abyss Remix)” HERE and “Dark Thoughts (Live From Suffocate City)” HERE. 

We wanted to put together something special and different that we haven’t done for the Coffin Crew [the band’s devoted following]. The other cool thing about this EP is that we are including the live version that we recorded at our first-ever town hall meeting in Atlanta. This marked our first sold-out show in our hometown.

Lee Jennings

About the song itself, Jennings explains that

‘Dark Thoughts’ is a fun and energetic song meant to highlight our own mental health struggles. I wrote it about being diagnosed with OCD, I’m glad that more people can relate. This song is one of my personal favorites on the album. It’s deeply rooted in feeling trapped in your own head, like you have no one to reach out to who would understand or have an answer. It’s a statement both about the band and our fans. Depression, anxiety, and mental health crisis events are a ubiquitous experience for us, and the people who connect with our art. It can be such a terrifying and daunting task to try to overcome, but we hope that by connecting with others, we can support each other as a community in times when things seem the most bleak.

Here’s the track listing for the “DARK THOUGHTS” EP:

1. Dark Thoughts (Beyond The Abyss Remix)

2. Dark Thoughts, original version

3. Dark Thoughts (feat. Danny Worsnop)

4. Dark Thoughts (Live From Suffocate City), recorded in Atlanta, GA at The Masquerade on November 17, 2024
