Portrait are a Swedish heavy metal band formed in 2005 in Kristianstad, Skåne, building their sound on the twin pillars of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and classic occult heavy metal. Signed to Metal Blade Records, the band has released six studio albums, from their self-titled 2008 debut through the 17th-century concept album The Host in 2024, maintaining a consistent focus on dark, riff-driven songwriting and dramatic, operatic vocals throughout.
