Let Pain Be Your Guide

by portrayal of guilt

supported by

Dean Roe A nightmarish blend of crushing tracks that will tear you into pieces and stitch you back together incorrectly. Favorite track: Death Is Gentle.

subtlemoniker an underrated wave of anger and emotion. or some witty quote. shit shreds Favorite track: Your War.

MZTN Convergeを引き合いに出されることも多いけれど、pg99的な狂気が激情的にはかなり良い。ときに無機質、暴力的なリフとメタル的要素がClosed Casketに共鳴している部分だと思うんだけど、後半「The Hunger」以降におけるインダストリアルさにも怖さがある。現代的スピード感が進化していくバンドにみえるので今後の展開は楽しみ。決してScreamo的な評価に終わるバンドじゃないし、これからがやばそう。 Favorite track: The Hunger.

about

portrayal of guilt deliver their uncompromising debut full-length ‘Let Pain Be Your Guide’, due for release on the 16th of November, 2018 on Holy Roar Records & Gilead Media.

portrayal of guilt have carved themselves out as a unique force in the realms of hardcore and intense screamo; their Self-Titled 7” and ‘Chamber of Misery (Pt. I)’ 5” releases are exemplary exercises in intensity, not to mention the razor-sharp assault delivered on their split with industrial-metallers Street Sects.

Their debut full-length sees their discography expanding and intensifying; ‘Let Pain Be Your Guide’ is a visceral, multi-faceted attack that blurs the line between aggressive styles, leaving you emotionally bludgeoned. The record’s musical nihility is akin to Robotic Empire’s discordant output from the likes of Pg.99 or Magic Bullet's releases from Majority Rule; all of which is blended with a high-octane swell of grind/powerviolence riffs. Whether it’s the artillery-fire tracks like ‘A Burden’ and ‘Life Holds Nothing’ or the post-punk suffused ‘Your War’, there are glimpses of warped melodies that diversify the albums unrelenting nature.

‘Let Pain Be Your Guide’ was recorded in a basement over the course of 48 hours with Matt Michel (Majority Rule, NØ MAN) in Dunn Loring, VA and features guest vocals from Matt Michel, Dylan Walker (Full of Hell) & Maha Shami (NØ MAN). The stunning visual art for the album was created by Chris Taylor (Pg.99, Pygmy Lush).

Unhinged yet masterful, ‘Let Pain Be Your Guide’ will be one of the outstanding pieces amongst heavy music in 2018 and sees the band honing in on something truly unique. Available through Holy Roar Records and Gilead Media on November 16th 2018.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
