The first demo tape by PORTRAIT sent to me by Outlawed, thanks a lot man!.
São Paulo Heavy Metal act conceived in 1989 under the billing of ARENA, this outfit comprising vocalist Stan, guitarists Theo and Rinaldo Zupelli, bassist Bleno Jr. and drummer Fabio for a demo 'First Art'. In 1991 this act lost their rhythm section and, with the introduction the following year of Adriano Gandolfi on bass and drummer Marcelo Rocha a second demo was recorded, 'To Remember Someday', going on to sell over 900 copies.
PORTRAIT inducted singer Marcelo Moss in 1996. The debut album 'Voices', which featured a cover of GENGHIS KHAN'S "Moscow", saw contributions from keyboard player Ronaldo Bodáo. Following valuable 1997 support dates to PAUL DI ANNO, BLIND GUARDIAN and GAMMA RAY the band replaced Gandolfi with new bass man Emerson Barcos.
PORTRAIT contributed their version of 'Edge Of Thorns' to the Dwell Records SAVATAGE tribute album 'Return Of The Mountain King'. The band had evolved further by this juncture, now comprising ANGEL HEART singer Gustavo Monsanto, guitarist Gilberto Bressan, bassist Emerson Barcas, keyboard player José Antonio Cardillio and drummer Marcelo Rocha. In October of 2004 PORTRAIT introduced new singer Neno Fernando, a veteran of DESTRA and ABSTRACT SHADOWS. - Musicmight
