The eight song album that was released in 1996, Portraits Of Past started out as a 1990’s straight edge hardcore band and their debut split 7″ with Bleed captured that sound. But the LP was much more controlled and refined, with the aggressive screamo giving way slightly for the slower pace and introspection of emo influenced post hardcore. An album that remains as an important milestone of 1990’s hardcore. This new version has been remastered by Will Killingsworth, and then mastered by Golden Mastering. All of the original artwork was lost to the ravishes of time and a lot of effort went into recreating the original LP jacket by Jeff Capra and the printing engineers at Ross Ellis who had made the original jacket back in 1996. Weirdly, Portraits of Past have reformed and have been playing shows and recording new material since 2025.
