ATLANTA, GA | November 18, 2016: Atlanta's Theatricore unite, The Funeral Portrait (Revival Recordings) consisting of vocalist Lee Jennings, guitarist/vocalist Juergie Sandstorm, guitarist AJ Pekarek, bassist Chris King, and drummer Stephen Danzey, blend elements of rock and roll, heavy metal, and theatricore with a pop sensibility to paint stories of love, loss, anger, and grief onto a canvas of skillfully crafted tunes. The band just announced a tour with label-mates Famous Last Words which kicks off this December in anticipation for their brand new album, A Moment of Silence due out December 16, 2016. This will be their debut full length featuring 13 tracks including, "The Water Obeyed The Gravity" which premiered exclusively with Alternative Press in October. Today, the band is thrilled to unleash, "Like Father, Like Son," a riveting song about the relationship the character has with God and how it is falling apart. The album as a whole about one man's journey through the afterlife. Upon dying, he is desperately trying to connect with his God, but no one is there. The band's guitarist/vocalist, Juergie Sandstorm had this to say about the concept and track: "This man has been told his entire life that when he died, he would be greeted by God at the gates of heaven. Now he must drift and observe, waiting for the truth to reveal itself."

More about The Funeral Portrait: Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, The Funeral Portrait is a five-piece theatricore punk-rock outfit consisting of Lee Jennings (vocalist), Juergie Landstrom (guitarist/vocalist), AJ Pekarek (guitarist), Chris King (bassist), and Stephen Danzey (drummer). Formerly known as Cosmoscope, the then pop-rock quintet played over 200 shows in just under two years before using the new moniker, The Funeral Portrait, to better showcase their matured sound during the spring of 2014. Since then, the band has signed with Revival Recordings, was listed as 1 of the 100 bands you need to know in 2015 by Alternative Press, and has done over 13 tours, sharing the stage with acts including Alesana, Capture The Crown, IWrestledABearOnce, and Davey Suicide.

 

The Funeral Portrait blends elements of rock and roll, heavy metal, and theatre all under a blanket of pop sensibility as they paint their stories of love, loss, anger, and grief onto a canvas of skillfully crafted songs. The band kicked off in 2014 with their debut EP For The Dearly Departed, produced by Shawn Milke of Alesana and Revival Recordings, which features 6 riveting tracks including "Casanova (C'est La Vie)."Following their successful 2014 smash, fans can gear up for their forthcoming LP, A Moment of Silence. A Moment of Silence is unlike anything the band has done before, as it displays a more dangerous and honest side of The Funeral Portrait, telling the story of one man's journey through the afterlife. The Funeral Portrait is set to unveil their new album A Moment of Silence on December 16th.
