Over the past decade, Portrayal of Guilt have established themselves as a fixture in the extreme underground music scene. With relentlessly consistent releases like 2023's orchestral nightmare »Devil Music« and year-long world tours with bands like Deafheaven, Uniform, and Pg. 99, POG have undoubtedly forged their own path. Since their founding, they have not been pigeonholed into a specific category. The trio mixes elements of black, death and nu metal with crust, screamo, powerviolence and hardcore, with »The Beginning of The End« further blurring genre boundaries. The band takes the disturbing disharmony in the album highlights »Ecstasy« and »Human Terror« to the next level, with KoRn-like guitar dissonances, merciless death metal depths and haunting spoken passages that confidently cross the line between »Life is Peachy« and »Scum«.
