PORTRAYAL OF GUILT Release "Object Of Pain" / "Death From Above" Singles / Videos - New Album "…Beginning Of The End" Out April 24 Via Run For Cover

Portrayal of Guilt have toured the world over, creating their own musical eco-system and released three seminal full-length albums that have seen the Austin trio consecutively reinvent themselves. They've done it in a manner that avoided compromise, welcomed free experimentation and avoided labels outside of "menacing," “compelling” and “must hear.”

"…Beginning of the End", their upcoming studio alum on Run For Cover embraces both the groove and avant garde, revisiting the raw, teeth-gnashing intensity of their previous work. It feels like a band that has traversed every shadowy corner of heavy music, distilling their decade of innovation and knowledge into a singular show of force.

Today they've unleashed their second set of singles "Object of Pain" and "Death From Above" alongside two new videos to complete their "…Beginning of the End" video trilogy of which they collaborated on with director Craig Murray.

"Object of Pain" and "Death From Above" follow lead singles "Ecstasy" and "Human Terror" released earlier in the month and give a preview into album's experimentation with nu-metal, alternative rock, trip hop, dark ambient and other disparate influences.

Portrayal of Guilt made an immediate impact in underground circles with their debut Let Pain Be Your Guide by mixing nihilistic hardcore, black metal, classic screamo, and imaginative textures. We Are Always Alone and CHRISTF*CKER LPs followed in 2021, the band’s breakout body blows that corroded the band’s commitment to genre, nodding at industrial music, post-metal, sludge and even post-hardcore, all while cementing the band’s tendencies toward experimentalism. Their fearless spirit reimagined their own sound as classical (Devil Music EP) and EBM / goth (CHRISTF*CKER II) on more recent efforts. 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-evolving sound.

"…Beginning of the End" was recorded and mixed by Phillip Odom between March-June 2025 with mastering handled by Will Yip. It’s Portrayal of Guilt’s fourth studio album in eight years, and third with Run For Cover.
