Band Information

Portrayal was an early 90s Melbourne band that experimented with early forms of doom/death and melodic death metal, somewhat akin to very early Anathema. Of particular note was two bassists playing counterpoint to each other. The band was formed in 1992 by two former members of Blood Duster, Wilson and Darlington, with Russell Mackey originally on bass. Asheron replaced Mackey in 1994 and the band split the next year.

Wilson, Cohen and Asheron went on to form the grind band Very Very Dead and Gory; Asheron is now with Anarazel. Helene was with the reformed Hobbs' Angel of Death for a short time until 2003 and is currently involved in several music projects including Stonemaiden.
