After their first arena tour in Summer 2024 opening for Five Finger Death Punch, The Funeral Portrait – who previously hit #1 at US Active Rock radio – have joined forces with 5FDP’s Ivan Moody for a new rendition of Holy Water. Frontman Lee Jennings calls it one of his most personal songs about facing darkness and finding strength. “Ivan’s energy, passion, and personal story took it to another level—he was the perfect voice for this chapter.”
“Before our tour together, I wasn’t too familiar with The Funeral Portrait’s music,” Moody picked up, “so I didn’t know what to expect. But after watching them night after night, seeing how they commanded the stage and connected with the crowd, I was absolutely hooked. The passion, intensity, and raw emotion they bring to their performances make them one of the most exciting new bands out there. And Lee’s voice? Absolutely incredible—one of my favourite new singers!
We had talked about collaborating before the tour, but the timing never worked out. Then, while speeding down the highway, I heard Holy Water on the radio and couldn’t help but sing along. What an amazing track! It immediately brought back the idea of working together, so I hit up Lee about the possibility of me redoing the song with them. Luckily, he was all in—and here we are…. The rest is history.”
The Funeral Portrait will release a deluxe edition of their critically acclaimed second album, GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY, on June 13 via Better Noise Music. Pre order here: https://thefuneralportrait.ffm.to/gfscdeluxe
