Portraits is multicolored: it is dark when the outbursts of guitars are always in the foreground; it is lighter when, unexpectedly, piano and violin break in.

 An album without fillers, without that excess of technicality. A true and sincere album, urgent, to be listened to repeatedly and spread to as many people as possible.

Portraits marks the impressive debut of Italian band Fall Of Minerva, combining aggressive metalcore with melodic and orchestral moments. The album delivers a perfect balance of technical mastery and raw passion. Highlights include the emotional single "Beyond The Pines" and the orchestral, post-rock influenced "Sguardi Nel Buio." This sincere and thrilling release is a rare gem in Italy's metal scene. Listen to Fall Of Minerva's Portraits now and experience a powerful mix of passion and technical metalcore mastery!

 ‘Prima di Iniziare a Vivere’ reeks of honest rebellion against adult life, of repressed anger towards an insubstantial reality incapable of growth.
