Emo rock revivalists THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT have landed the #1 spot on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay and Mediabase’s Active Rock radio charts with their hit single “Suffocate City (feat. Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills).” This marks the bands first-ever #1 radio single and first entry onto any Billboard chart. The single has garnered over 4.2 million streams globally and over 436k views for its prom-themed music video.

THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT will celebrate their 10-year anniversary by thanking fans old and new with an updated version of their breakout fan-favorite 2014 track “Casanova (C’est La Vie).” The now-reimagined “Casanova (Beyond The Abyss)” is out digitally today, November 15, via Better Noise Music. Stream and/or download it at https://thefuneralportrait.ffm.to/casanova.

“‘Casanova (From Beyond The Abyss)’ is us tipping our hat to the fans that have been with us throughout the 10 years of us being a band, while also acknowledging how far we’ve come and how much we’ve changed,” proclaims frontman LEE JENNINGS. “We reimagined the song to sound like it was meant to be on our recent album ‘Greetings From Suffocate City’ all along, while not losing the essence of what the OG fans love about it. We are so thankful to everyone who has stayed with us all this time, this one is for them.”

THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT will commemorate their anniversary and honor their devoted fanbase (‘The Coffin Crew’) with the first-ever annual “Suffocate City Town Hall Meeting,” to be held at The Masquerade (Hell) in their hometown of Atlanta, GA this Sunday, November 17. The all-ages show is officially SOLD OUT and will include support from Dark Divine, Sarah and The Safe Word, and Not Enough Space, along with special guest appearances from the ‘icons’ who appear on the cover of their brand-new album GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY, exclusive merch, and the opportunity to hang out and meet the band throughout the event.

The “Suffocate City Town Hall Meeting” will mark TFP’s final show of 2024. This year the band has extensively toured the country including a packed arena jaunt with Five Finger Death Punch over the summer, a fall direct support run with The HU, several headlining dates, and festival appearances at Aftershock and Louder Than Life. THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT will return to the road in 2025 as direct support to metalcore outfit Catch Your Breath throughout North America from February 6 to March 8.

THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT are firing on all cylinders with GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY, their second full-length album and debut for Better Noise Music, out today, Friday, September 13. The rising Emo rock band will celebrate the album’s release and Friday the 13^th holiday with a special acoustic performance at Silver Scream Con (Ice Nine Kills’ annual horror convention) R.I.P. Party alongside stand-up comedian/actor Jamie Kennedy tonight in Worcester, MA. They’ve also revealed a fittingly spooky new music video for the album’s track, “Doom and Gloom.” Watch it streaming below or HERE.

THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT’s current single, “Suffocate City (feat. Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills),” has jumped into the Top 10 Active Rock radio charts at #8 via Billboard and #9 via Mediabase, marking it the band’s highest chart showing to date. The song also entered the Top 10 Rock Radio Charts in Germany at #9 showcasing the project’s international impact.

GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY—available now via digital download, CD, and vinyl HERE—consists of 14 tracks of theatrical, dramatic, unapologetic, full-throated flair with guest appearances from Bert McCracken of The Used, Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills, Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria, and Eva Under Fire. It was co-produced by Johnny Andrews (Three Days Grace, Motionless In White, Halestorm) and Lø Spirit (aka Josh Landry).

“’Suffocate City’ is our heaven, but you don’t have to wait until you die to go there,” declares frontman and founder Lee Jennings. “It’s a place where everybody can belong, no matter who you are. We grew up ‘weird’ kids saved by alternative music and culture and are eager to pay that gift forward.”

GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY presents a refuge for THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT’s devoted fanbase, ‘The Coffin Crew.’ The band partnered with The Hot Topic Foundation to further their support of non-profit music, art, LGBTQ+ and mental health organizations for youth and teens with the release of their 2023 cover of Radiohead’s “Creep.” The band have continuously supported mental health awareness and advocacy across their music and social media platforms. This week, as part of National Suicide Prevention Month, JENNINGS shared his own story of overcoming depression on World Suicide Prevention Day (September 11). Read it HERE.

“The Coffin Crew community believes in working hand and hand with incredible organizations like The Hot Topic Foundation, Mental Health America, and The Trevor Project,” says JENNINGS. “We hold these foundations close to our heart and believe in the many things that they stand for and are honored to be a part of their support.”

Further catering to their devotees—the outcast, misunderstood, pushed aside, and marginalized—the band have announced a collaboration with Curst Kosmetics for their “Devotion Ceremony Survival Kit.” It includes an exclusive The Funeral Portrait crossbody clear bag (with strap),set of two Nail Polishes, Chapstick, and four Shimmer Eyeshadows. Items from the kit will also be available for purchase individually. Pre-orders can be found HERE.

Heralded as “the inspiring antidote to stagnant metalcore” by Alternative Press, THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT are currently out on the last leg of their North American tour with Five Finger Death Punch, Marilyn Manson, and Slaughter To Prevail. Following its final stop on September 19 in Houston, TX, they’ll bring their theatrical stage show to Louder Than Life and Aftershock Festival. See full dates below.

Look for emo rock outfit THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT to release their second full-length album GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY via Better Noise Music on September 13. The album’s story arc is told across its 14 tracks (see listing below) which blends religious and violent imagery. It’s a thrilling and evocative mix of the holy and unholy, the sacred and sacrilege. Guest appearances include Bert McCracken of The Used, Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills, Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria and Eva Under Fire. Pre-orders for GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY are available via digital download, CD, and vinyl HERE.

“This album is a statement,” says vocalist LEE JENNINGS. “Its title reflects our conviction, respect, and most importantly, DEVOTION to its message. This record talks of love and loss. That the people we love, the passions we dedicate ourselves to, the culture we are surrounded by, and the society we partake in, will all inevitably hurt us. Yet through the pain and struggle of it all,” he adds, “we still choose to love, unabashedly, even when it kills us. It is a warning of the challenges life will present us all with and a universal truth that suffering is inherent in all joy.”

THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT today, August 2, have released a new industrial-tinged track, “Blood Mother.” JENNINGS says, “This southern-fried riff machine brings a low, pulsing energy to the record. It harks on modern medication and the fear of risking losing your personality and sense of self once prescribed.” The music video for “Blood Mother” can be seen streaming below, or via YouTube HERE. Stream/download the song digitally HERE.

The track’s release marks the start of their U.S. tour supporting Five Finger Death Punch, Marilyn Manson, and Slaughter To Prevail in Hershey, PA. The tour will stretch until September 19 ending in Houston, TX. Next, the band head to Louisville, KY for Louder Than Life (September 28), followed by Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, CA (October 12). Throughout the tour the band will also appear on a handful of one-off shows with Marilyn Manson and Slaughter To Prevail. In addition, the band have announced a special “double feature” night on August 6 in Detroit, Mitch. It consists of a free in-store performance at Rock of Ages from 5-7 PM, followed by a private ghost hunt with the band at Eloise Asylum in Westland, MI starting at 8pm. Limited to 30 spots, tickets are currently available HERE.

Theatrical emo rock group THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT deliver massive riffs and a driving chorus while evoking a sense of fear on their new track “Suffocate City” featuring guest vocals from Spencer Charnas of horror-themed active rock outfit Ice Nine Kills. Out digitally today, June 21, “Suffocate City” is the second sample of new music from THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT’s upcoming new album due via Better Noise Music later this year. It follows the band’s latest track “You’re So Ugly When You Cry”–an upbeat anthemic pop-punk song which features Bert McCracken of 2x RIAA Platinum-certified iconic group The Used.

Watch the song’s tantalizing music video streaming below or directly via YouTube HERE

“‘Suffocate City’ speaks to our listeners’ sense of fear,” says vocalist LEE JENNINGS. “The fear of being stuck in a dead-end job, a dead-end relationship, or a dead-end financial situation. The fear of ‘never getting out’ is a ubiquitous experience that anyone can connect and relate to.”

SPENCER CHARNAS comments “Thrilled to team up with our good friends The Funeral Portrait on their track ‘Suffocate City.’ We had a killer time working with them on the song and the accompanying music video. Check it out now.”

Lauded as one of Alternative Press’ “100 Bands You Need to Know,” THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT have relentlessly toured across the country building an unwavering fanbase with their extravagant theatrics, stage décor and even costumed actors while opening for acts including Shinedown, Ice Nine Kills, Underoath, Skillet, From Ashes To New, Starset, Pvris and ISSUES. This summer/fall, they’ll hit the road on an arena tour with Five Finger Death Punch, Marilyn Manson, and Slaughter To Prevail from August 2 to September 19.

The band have today, May 1, announced three additional shows headlined by Marilyn Manson alongside support act Slaughter To Prevail amidst the tour. THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT will follow the tour with performances at two of the fall’s biggest rock festivals, Louder Than Life and Aftershock. THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT are currently on the road as direct support for Dead On A Sunday through May 10. See all upcoming dates listed below. General admission tickets are on sale now HERE.

“We are so thankful to Five Finger Death Punch for graciously inviting us along on this massive headlining tour,” states THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT vocalist Lee Jennings. “This is our first foray into arenas and we are grateful for the opportunity to bring our message to the masses.”

THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT’s new single, the evocative “You’re So Ugly When You Cry (feat. Bert McCracken of The Used),” has been acclaimed as having “all the markers of the sweet bygone era that shaped so many of us with their trademark ‘My Chemical Romance-esque’ sound.” (2470 Mag). The song contrasts upbeat anthemic pop-punk melodies with lyrics about hitting rock bottom. Listen/download it now HERE.

ABOUT THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT:
THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT—LEE JENNINGS (vocals), CODY WEISSINGER (guitar), CALEB FREIHAUT (guitar/auxiliary), ROBERT WESTON (bass), and HOMER UMBANHOWER (drums)—have relentlessly toured across the country built an unwavering fanbase opening for acts including Shinedown, Ice Nine Kills, Underoath, Skillet, From Ashes To New, Starset, Pvris and ISSUES. The band’s intention for their music is to represent ‘outcasts’ from all walks of life–the weird, the misunderstood, the marginalized—which they showcase through their live performances which include extravagant theatrics, stage décor, costumed actors, and more.

THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT released the SOUNDS FROM BEYOND THE ABYSS (VOL. 1) EP via Better Noise Music last October (2023). The four-track EP features four occult-driven tracks which cater to the band’s potent blend of modern rock anthems molded with emo and pop-punk theatrics. Of the four tracks, two are covers of iconic songs from artists that have inspired THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT’s vibrant sound: Radiohead’s “Creep” (released in partnership with The Hot Topic Foundation to support non-profit music, art, LGBTQ+ and mental health organizations for youth and teens) and Tears For Fears’ “Mad World.” Stream and/or download SOUNDS FROM BEYOND THE ABYSS (VOL 1) now at https://thefuneralportrait.ffm.to/sfbtavol1. Stay tuned for news on their forthcoming debut album later this year.

THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT – “You’re So Ugly When You Cry (feat. Bert McCracken of The Used)” Track Artwork (Download HERE)

Theatrical emo rock group THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT today (April 19) share the first new music following their 2023 EP SOUNDS FROM BEYOND THE ABYSS (VOL. 1) via Better Noise Music. “You’re So Ugly When You Cry” features guest vocals from Bert McCracken of seminal emo rock outfit The Used who boast 2X RIAA Platinum certified releases (2002’s self-titled debut The Used and 2004’s In Love and Death), a RIAA Gold certification for 2007’s Lies For The Liars, and over 1.1 billion overall career streams. The song contrasts upbeat anthemic pop-punk melodies with lyrics about hitting rock bottom. “It’s not about healing, or the come-up later on, it’s about telling people ‘it sucks right now, I don’t like who I am when I’m like this, and I know you’ve felt the same way,” according to THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT vocalist LEE JENNINGS.

Listen/download “You’re So Ugly When You Cry (feat. Bert McCracken of The Used)” now at https://thefuneralportrait.ffm.to/ysuwyc.

“Working with Bert was a lifelong dream come true for us,” exclaims JENNINGS. “We all grew up with The Used being one of our biggest influences and it was a surreal moment when he reached back out saying he loved the song and wanted to be involved.”

THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT have also shared a captivating music video for “You’re So Ugly When You Cry (feat. Bert McCracken of The Used)” which introduces the “Coffin Crew” (the band’s name for their devoted followers) and their movement.
