A new pressing is once again available. Originally released in 1996 this eight song LP was not an immediate success. When it first came out it was way ahead of its time and the band's popularity didn't really explode until long after the band had broken up. 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 and layered. It had a moody, almost sad feel to it that was quite captivating. At this point, that sound has become a classic and this LP remains as an important milestone of 1990's hardcore. This new version of the 1996 LP was 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. Portraits of Past will be playing many shows in 2025 including the Renaissance Festival in Los Angeles in May of 2025. (Ebullition Records #32)
