... would have made the best album if they had gotten the chance to do one? Many bands did fantastic singles, but did all of them really had the capacity to come up with 8-10 good enough tracks to fill a fullength album with? Judging by demos, rehearsal recordings etc. there are two bands topping my...

I have their 2nd album as well. I'll check with a friend regarding the ripping part.

Well, I somewhat agree with you regarding the vocals. That's their weakest point I think (right up there with the production, hehe), but I got used to them quite fast and the songs are so fantastic it almost doesn't affect the entirety. Anyone heard their demo? Does it feature some songs not include...

I received their "The damage has been done" Mini-LP some days ago and I'm really blown away by this fantastic piece of HEAVY MEDAL! That Maidenseque twin guitar part in "Warriors of the sea" almost makes me cry! Every song has its special 'magical' feel I think. I'm looking for t...

Satan... I crawl to the Devil! Oh fuck! I want to do 'Blasphemy and the master' as well. Whatever the result will be, it will for sure take more time to learn and rehearse the HELL song compared to our own songs, hehe. And the lyrics will be hard to figure out as well... but then again, HELL aren't ...

'Deathsquad' would be great as well. A show-opener perhaps? And 'Macbeth' as the Grande Finale?

Thank you! What a memorable night in the history of Portrait.
A thread started BY A PERSON OUTSIDE OF THE BAND containing our band name mentioned in the same sentence as the mighty HELL at the CORROSEUM FORUM. I mean, is it possible for a band to reach a higher level than that!? I don't think so.

Thy wish is my command!

Hehe no, it will be a demo cassette and we will make demo cd-r's ourselves as well. The cassette version will include a cover painting made by our bassist, and lyrics etc. The cd-r version will just be some band pic or something on the front and the song titles on the back. Not that thousands of peo...

Thanks alot! Great to hear that you like the song! The demo will be released around Halloween or so I think. I will send the recording to the pressing plant on monday, and the cover artwork is almost ready as well. The overall feeling regarding the first gig is positive I think... I broke a string i...

We have one more song + pictures from our debut gig up at our myspace page now.

That 7" is brilliant! I have some Pokolgép demos recorded 1982-1984 if you are interested in cd-r or cassette trading...

DaN: You forgot to mention FUCKER! :) Some songs I have to hear when drinking are "The entity" by Dark quarterer, "The way (your soul must go)" by Living death, anything from the two latest Blitzkrieg releases, anything from Gillan's "Magic" lp, Black sabbath's "He...

I did write about my band in the "None shall defy" section but I thought I'd give it a go here as well. The band's name is Portrait and we've been rehearsing together since january or something this year. It started out just as a one-man-project from my side some years ago but me and David...

Yes, I have this Finn-Swede rarity for trade. Unfortunately enough the poster is not included.

I am interested in almost every kind of obscure metal so send me your tradelist!
