The Funeral Portrait

About

The Funeral Portrait is a band that thrives on the razor’s edge between theatricality and raw emotion, crafting a sound that feels like a gothic fever dream set to a post-hardcore soundtrack. Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, the band has carved out a niche that blends the dark romanticism of My Chemical Romance with the aggressive energy of Underoath, creating a sonic landscape that is as haunting as it is cathartic. Their music is a visceral exploration of love, loss, and existential dread, delivered with a flair for the dramatic that makes every song feel like a scene from a macabre play. Since their formation in 2013, The Funeral Portrait has steadily built a reputation for their electrifying live performances and deeply personal lyrics. Their breakthrough came with the release of their 2017 EP *A Moment of Silence*, which showcased their ability to balance melodic hooks with crushing breakdowns. The band’s 2021 album *Songs for the Living* further solidified their place in the post-hardcore scene, earning praise for its emotional depth and cinematic production. Culturally, The Funeral Portrait stands out for their unapologetic embrace of vulnerability and theatricality, challenging the norms of a genre often dominated by machismo. Their collaborations with artists like Craig Owens and their relentless touring have cemented their status as a band to watch. Currently, they are working on new material, promising to push their sound even further into uncharted territory.
