Few acts in the heavy underground right now are as convincingly experimental as Austin’s Portrayal of Guilt. Unbound by traditional genre boxes, they’ve built a name by mining the primordial murk where all hues of heavy music bleed together and striking gold. Hardcore, black metal, screamo, industrial, nu-metal, trip-hop, whatever — it’s all in play and comes out sounding fresh, daring and savage in POG’s hands.
This is the kind of thrill you get when hard and heavy collide beyond tribal lines under the command of new progressive maestros. Opening are Helvetica, a new Orlando band featuring members of Concealer and Flowers for Emily.
