Author Benedetta Baldin - 2.8.2024

Look for emo rock outfit The Funeral Portrait to release their second full-length album “Greetings From Suffocate City” via Better Noise Music on September 13. The album’s story arc is told across its 14 tracks (see listing below) which blends religious and violent imagery. It’s a thrilling and evocative mix of the holy and unholy, the sacred and sacrilege. Guest appearances include Bert McCracken of The Used, Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills, Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria and Eva Under Fire.  Pre-orders for “Greetings From Suffocate City” are available via digital download, CD, and vinyl HERE

This album is a statement. Its title reflects our conviction, respect, and most importantly, DEVOTION to its message. This record talks of love and loss. That the people we love, the passions we dedicate ourselves to, the culture we are surrounded by, and the society we partake in, will all inevitably hurt us. Yet through the pain and struggle of it all, we still choose to love, unabashedly, even when it kills us. It is a warning of the challenges life will present us all with and a universal truth that suffering is inherent in all joy. Lee Jennings

The Funeral Portrait today, August 2, have released a new industrial-tinged track, “Blood Mother.

This southern-fried riff machine brings a low, pulsing energy to the record. It harks on modern medication and the fear of risking losing your personality and sense of self once prescribed. Lee Jennings

The music video for “Blood Mother” can be seen streaming below, or via YouTube HERE. Stream/download the song digitally HERE.

They’ll hit the road on an arena tour with Five Finger Death Punch, Marilyn Manson, and Slaughter To Prevail from August 2 to September 19. The Funeral Portrait will also appear at a handful of one-off shows as direct support to Marilyn Manson and will conclude the run with festival appearances at Louder Than Life and Aftershock.
