   About PORTRAIT BLACK
We've finished the final recordings for the album. The official title of the album is "Days Fall Dark". The mixing and mastering process will start soon. This album is one HEAVY, RIFF-TASTIC, SHREDDING, bastard! I hope all the listeners will enjoy hearing it as much as we did making it (and listening to it...hehe). Ryan has double-tracked every solo and melody, and even quadruple tracked a few lead fills in the album. Every single song is very 'head-bangable', and the best thing about the album is that there are NO FILLER SONGS!!! Every song sounds great!!! The listeners will definitely get their money's worth on this CD!!! Until the songs are mastered and EQ'd, enjoy them in their unmastered, un-EQ'd states. Take it easy, but intensely. --Portrait Black-- HOT Myspace Layouts

Great stuff. I have a feeling that So Far Away will be stuck in my head for a while, too.

Great job, Steve and Ryan. Keep up the great work.
