At One With None

Description

When it comes to modern heavy metal, few bands operate on the same level as Portrait. For the past decade and a half, the Swedish unit has forged their own path and, in doing so, has breathed new life into a long-established genre and taken it in new directions. Following the highly acclaimed Burn The World, they return with the powerful At One With None, which was recorded at JFK Studios in Kristianstad, Sweden, with Tommy Hansen (Helloween, Hatesphere) mixing. While Portrait fans will immediately recognize this as the work of their heroes, they don't simply rehash old ideas and tread where they have before. “A simple rule I personally adopted is that no song written for this album and beyond should be similar to another song we have already written and released. We have been doing this for 15 years now, and I am proud to say that we have managed to find our own identity and sound, which cannot really be said about many bands today. This is our greatest strength, and our goal is to continue exploring and developing our own sound, without repeating ourselves.” The results of working with this philosophy are undeniable, making it an essential addition to Portrait’s canon.
