About Me

"Portraits of Murder is a progressive metal 5 piece from north eastern New Jersey. A desire to achieve musical perfection as well as success has driven this band since the first day they picked up their instruments in high school. The task of balancing heavy metal with jazz influenced mellow interludes; depressing doom metal melodies with catchy upbeat choruses and still keeping the instrumentation as technical as possible is a challenge they enjoy taking on. Their 3 song self titled EP was a quick glimpse of Portraits of Murder and the direction they came from, but their new material will deliver a fresh taste of originality and hopefully bring forth a new trend to the music scene: creativity."
Hungry Heart Records
Raising all hell in the depths of the studio the sticky gooey water drips down all the walls and eats up whats left of human DNA. Fingerprint nor hair strands can be found once eaten by this inhumane disease that disease is Portraits of Murder.
The past year has been a difficult one for pom with constant line up changes and delays on their new material, etc. Because of these incidents and several personal and business related issues, the core members of the band (Ian, Frank and Chirag) have decided to make a few changes. --A brand new site will be up and running soon with all the updates--Ian, Frank and Chirag would also like to thank the fans for their patience and support through the past year. They assure everyone that the changes and updates to the band are for the better and this is only the beggining.In the mean time, ejoy the 'classics' (myspace tracks) ~WebmasterflexWait for it...... Wait for it.....
