The Funeral Portrait are getting listeners in the mood for Halloween season by releasing a new EP Sounds From Beyond The Abyss (Vol.1) via Better Noise Music.
The four-track EP, out today, features four occult-driven tracks which cater to the band’s potent blend of modern rock anthems moulded with emo and pop-punk theatrics. Of the four tracks, two are covers of iconic songs from artists that have inspired The Funeral Portrait’s vibrant sound: Radiohead’s Creep (released this past August in partnership with The Hot Topic Foundation to support non-profit music, art, LGBTQ+ and mental health organisations for youth and teens) and Tears For Fears’ Mad World.
“’Sounds From Beyond The Abyss (Volume 1)’ was designed to be a fun departure, something to hold over fans while we finish up the steps towards our full record release,” shares vocalist LEE JENNINGS. “Within the lore of our band; it represents secret tracks, hidden away to be discovered by some unlucky Samaritan. Occult sounds meant to hypnotize the listener with music from an alternate reality. Which is to explain the case of covers & alternate versions of original songs. A ‘what if?’ scenario for our fans and ourselves.”
The Funeral Portrait have shared a visualizer video for their hypnotizing Mad World cover, released today alongside the Sounds From Beyond The Abyss (Vol.1) EP.
