Portrayal of Guilt have announced a Summer 2023 US tour in support of their recently released new album Devil Music.
The outing kicks off August 15th in El Paso, Texas, and runs through September 13th in San Antonio. The route will loop across the West Coast and Midwest, with support provided by Gag, Nuclear Daisies, Fearing, and Secret Shame on select dates.
Tickets go on sale for select shows this Friday (June 30th) via Ticketmaster. You can also pick up tickets via StubHub, where your purchase is 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s Fan Protect program.
The trek will be Portrayal of Guilt’s first US headlining run since the release of Devil Music back in April. The album pushes the band’s extreme metal leanings to the forefront, especially its black metal influences. Notably, the B-side of the record houses an orchestral re-imagining of the album’s core compositions — performed in the band’s standard guitar-bass-drums format on side A.
In a daring move, PoG introduced the album not with a lead single, per the standard operating procedure, but instead with the entire orchestral B-side, presented as a short film (that was subsequently released on DVD). The experiment harkened back to Into the Pandemonium-era Celtic Frost and the more avant corners of black metal.
