  45. <p>When it comes to modern heavy metal, there are few bands operating at the same level as <b>Portrait</b>. For a decade and a half, the Swedish unit have been forging their own path, and in the process, infusing life into a longstanding, well-established genre and taking it in new directions. Following up 2017&#8242;s acclaimed <b><i>Burn The World</i></b>, they return with the mighty <b><i>At One With None</i></b>, which was recorded at JFK Studios in Kristianstad, Sweden with Tommy Hansen (<b>Helloween, Hatesphere</b>) handling the mixing. While <b>Portrait</b> fans will immediately recognize it as the work of their heroes, they are not simply rehashing old ideas and treading where they have before. <i>&#8220;One simple &#8216;rule&#8217; that I have had personally is that no song written for this album and onwards should be similar to any song that we have already written and released. We have been doing this for 15 years now, and I am proud to say that I think we have managed to find our own identity and sound, which can&#8217;t really be said about that many bands today. This is our greatest achievement, and the goal is to keep exploring and developing our own sound, without repeating ourselves.&#8221;</i> The results of working with this philosophy are undeniable, making for an essential addition to the <b>Portrait</b> canon.</p>

  349. <p><b>PORTRAIT</b> have now released their cover of <b>RAM</b>&#8216;s &#8220;<i>Blessed To Be Cursed</i>&#8220;! Head over to <a href="https://www.metalblade.com/undercommand" target="_blank">metalblade.com/undercommand</a> to listen now!</p>
  350. <p>At the same location you can listen to <b>RAM</b>&#8216;s version of &#8220;<i>Welcome To My Funeral</i>&#8220;, originally performed by <b>PORTRAIT</b>. Make sure to pre-order your copy of the split which will be available on CD and vinyl in different colours. There is also a shape available!</p>
  351. <p>Comments <b>RAM</b>: &#8220;<i>Why a split with PORTRAIT? Well after long nights drinking beers and raising hell with several members of PORTRAIT through the years it has become quite obvious where both bands stand when it comes to the question of what real metal is. When we started the band we could count our true supporters on the fingers of two hands because nobody was playing or listening to traditional heavy metal at the time. But Christian of PORTRAIT was one of the first people to ever get a RAM demo in his hands and we knew that he understood what we were about. Over the years both bands have progressed but that die hard attitude regarding heavy metal has never changed this split is a testament to that.</i>&#8220;</p>
  352. <p>Comments <b>PORTRAIT</b>: &#8220;<i>For us it feels great to do a split EP with RAM as they have been around since before we started out and they have inspired us since the very beginning. They are one of very few contemporary bands that we feel connected to in any way, and we share the same view on what Heavy Metal is and what it can become. The material on this EP shows in a good way the vastness of this most elevated genre, from Kiss to Exciter and to our own original material &#8211; it should be evident to the listener that the roots of Heavy metal are still expanding, within and through our bands.</i>&#8220;</p>
  353. <p><b>RAM</b> about their three songs:<br />
  354. &#8220;<i>&#8216;Savage Machine&#8217; is a hardhitting song that we feel is very fitting for the split. It is straightforward hard heavy metal. It is also the first RAM song to feature our new guitarist Martin Jonsson and his brilliant guitar work.</i>&#8220;</p>
  355. <p>&#8220;<i>Then &#8216;Welcome To My Funeral&#8217; is the first song on the first PORTRAIT demo, I remember getting this tape from the band and playing it loud. We chose this song because it is a great song that we felt that we could add some heaviness to. The lyrics inspired me to add some quires here and there. It all ended up sounding really old school and dark.</i>&#8220;</p>
  356. <p>&#8220;<i>We had a long talk within the band about what cover to choose for this split. We decided that it should be a band that all the members had a special relationship to. KISS was the band that got me, Harry, Martin and Morgan into metal back in the late seventies/ early eightiees. We wanted to do one of their harder songs so we went with &#8216;Creatures Of The Night&#8217;, a masterpiece!</i>&#8220;</p>
  357. <p><b>PORTRAIT</b> about their three songs:<br />
  358. &#8220;<i>Martial Lead is a classic Portrait style metal monster with screaming guitars, pumping bass, high pitch vocals and roaring drums. It was written about one month after our latest album &#8216;Crossroads&#8217; was released. It should disappoint no real headbanger and the lyrics deal with the art of bringing madness and terror upon one&#8217;s enemies</i>&#8220;</p>
  359. <p>&#8220;<i>We chose &#8216;Blessed to be cursed&#8217; because it has always been one of our favorite RAM songs and we could also easily rearrange it a bit in order to create our very own version of it. I am satisfied with the result and especially the hypnotic feeling of the verses.</i>&#8220;</p>
  360. <p>&#8220;<i>Exciter&hellip; the Rambo IV of the Heavy Metal World. We have always loved them and they sure understand the primal energy of Heavy Metal and how to utilize it. We chose &#8216;Aggressor&#8217; because it is a perfect song of terror, fitting the concept of this split release splendidly. Also by chosing a song from the 90&#8242;s we want to show our appreciation for Exciter&#8217;s neverending struggle and their stance of opposition against all rules of right or wrong, no matter what the latest fashion is!</i>&#8220;</p>
