Greetings from Suffocate City, The Funeral Portrait’s first fulllength
for Better Noise Music, expands the group’s mythology
to new heights and dimensions with invigorating, authentic, and
passionate anthems. Songs like “Alien,” “Voodoo Doll,”
“You’re So Ugly When You Cry” (featuring The Used’s Bert
McCracken), and the title track (featuring Spencer Charnas of
Ice Nine Kills) fuse the vibrant accessibility of Active Rock with
the earnest honesty once screamed at the Warped Tour of the
2000s.
Steadily growing since the band’s formation in 2014, The Coffin
Crew is a worldwide assemblage of devotees united in the
shared catharsis of The Funeral Portrait’s music. It’s a tight-knit
fandom built in the spirit of AFI’s Despair Faction, the MCRmy,
the BVB Army, and Ice Nine Kills’ Psychos. It’s a diverse and
welcoming community bound by perseverance through adversity
and heartbreak.
“Our band is about standing up for weirdos
and misfits. Because we are weirdos, too.”
Heralded as “the inspiring antidote to stagnant metalcore” by
Alternative Press early into their career, the band eventually
made their way onto SiriusXM Octane and episodes of All Elite
Wrestling.
The Funeral Portrait is comprised of frontman and founder Lee
Jennings, guitarists Cody Weissinger and Caleb Freihaut, bassist
Robert Weston, and drummer Homer Umbanhower. Some grew
up loving Avenged Sevenfold and Papa Roach; others adored
My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy.
