Take a trip with Portrayal of Guilt’s haunting new video “...where the suffering never ends” directed by Craig Murray. He tells, "I wanted to make an immersive film, which takes the viewer on a progressive journey that never seems to end. I had a structured idea that I wanted to shoot, but also shot loads of ominous scenes that could develop new ideas about the story for the viewer. The initial edit was between 15-20 minutes long, leaving me no option but to cut it down. I decided to leave the opening act as long as I could by extending the intro sounds, which are various parts of the song slowed down and reversed. We camped overnight in the forest to shoot the film in a mostly chronological order, between us we had over 1000 harvest mite bites by the end of it..."

“...where the suffering never ends” is the newest single from Portrayal of Guilt’s forthcoming album, CHRISTF***** on which they plunge headfirst into unfathomable depths, creating a work of art that’s powerfully unsettling. “We think of it partially in the sense of scoring a horror movie,” guitarist/vocalist Matt King says. “We wanted to create an atmosphere of anxiety and fear.” The entirety of CHRISTF***** is set to unrelenting, nihilistic, howling soundscapes, created by King, drummer James Beveridge, and bassist, Alex Stanfield. By way of hypnotic guitar patterns, industrial rhythms and oppressive heaviness --  each track tells a story set in the darkest of settings for the listener to interpret and explore.

It’s their second full-length of 2021 following January’s acclaimed album, We Are Always Alone. This time around, Portrayal of Guilt have signed to Run For Cover and joined forces with prominent NYC producer Ben Greenberg (Uniform, Pharmakon, Bing & Ruth). CHRISTF***** features guest vocals from Jenna Rose of New York darkwave outfit Anatomy (on “Sadist”) and Touché Amoré vocalist Jeremy Bolm (on “Fall From Grace”).

CHRISTF***** is out November 5 on Run For Cover -- pre-order it here. In two weeks, Portrayal of Guilt hit the road for the first time since the pandemic and the release of We Are Always Alone. Highlights include a full run with Uniform and dates with Sheer Mag, Code Orange and more. See below for a full list of dates and go here to purchase tickets.

EARLY PRAISE FOR CHRISTF*****

“provocative and pummeling” STEREOGUM

“‘Possession,’ a track that throws a layer of steaming black pitch over the band's expansive, nearly operatic sound.” FADER

“Portrayal of Guilt are offering up even more despairing nihilism and vicious sounds as they actively seek to instill a sense of dread in the listener. The howls of vocalist Matt King and the trudge of the trio’s collective blackened noise offer little reprieve.” CONSEQUENCE 

“‘POSSESSION’ Is F****** Dark” FLOOD

“impossible-to-pigeonhole...it's all over the place in the best way” BROOKLYN VEGAN

“positively demonic” REVOLVER
