5.0 out of 5 stars killer, October 13, 2006

i first got into bleeding through after i heard lost in a hail of gunfire. after hearing the song i went out and got this is love, this is murerderous and thought they killed it! but after listening to the record it all started to sound the same with a few tracks that really stood out to me, i was really reluctant to pick up portrait but when i did i fell in love with this band again! this album is way better than this is love, i just can't stop listening to it. but this group has a lot of promise and they seem to only keep getting better because the truth kills everything! i can't decide which is better though the truth or portrait. the truth musically is brutal but i could have done with out all the clean vocals and the only slow track that's on it, but the keyboards and drums kill! anyways, promising band.

Bleeding Through-Portrait Of The Goddess ****

Portrait Of The Goddess is your factory made metalcore album. Nothing truly original or mind blowing, just heavy as hell metal. Low tuned, fast riffing guitars, one note bass, keyboard interludes, blast beats, and a lot of screams. Basically the formula for a basic metalcore album...or Portrait Of A Goddess.

That doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the album. It is good, no make that great at what it is. It is a solid album with no weak points what so ever. But because of the lack of originality giving it a five star rating would be a little bit of a stretch. So while not a metal classic, Portrait Of The Goddess is a solid album worthy of any metal collection.

This review is from: Portrait of a Goddess (Audio CD)

One of the best metalcore albums ive heard. Really heavy chugging guitars, harsh screamed vocals mixed with an occasional clean part, and fast aggressive drumming.

The ringout at the end of the Saviour Saint Salvation instrumental gives me a huge [...]

Im pretty much sick of the whole overplayed metalcore genre but this album i still always come back to. Its not particularly innovative or unique (some may argue its generic), but the songs are well written, and relatively catchy, and the breakdowns will make you destroy.

This band is blowing up at the moment and its good to see them still playing cuts of this album when they play live as this is much better then This is Love...

Recommended if you like moshy chugging metalcore
