GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY—available now via digital download, CD, and vinyl HERE—consists of 14 tracks of theatrical, dramatic, unapologetic, full-throated flair with guest appearances from Bert McCracken of The Used, Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills, Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria, and Eva Under Fire. It was co-produced by Johnny Andrews (Three Days Grace, Motionless In White, Halestorm) and Lø Spirit (aka Josh Landry).

“’Suffocate City’ is our heaven, but you don’t have to wait until you die to go there,” declares frontman and founder Lee Jennings. “It’s a place where everybody can belong, no matter who you are. We grew up ‘weird’ kids saved by alternative music and culture and are eager to pay that gift forward.”

GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY presents a refuge for THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT’s devoted fanbase, ‘The Coffin Crew.’ The band partnered with The Hot Topic Foundation to further their support of non-profit music, art, LGBTQ+ and mental health organizations for youth and teens with the release of their 2023 cover of Radiohead’s “Creep.” The band have continuously supported mental health awareness and advocacy across their music and social media platforms. This week, as part of National Suicide Prevention Month, JENNINGS shared his own story of overcoming depression on World Suicide Prevention Day (September 11). Read it HERE.

“The Coffin Crew community believes in working hand and hand with incredible organizations like The Hot Topic Foundation, Mental Health America, and The Trevor Project,” says JENNINGS. “We hold these foundations close to our heart and believe in the many things that they stand for and are honored to be a part of their support.”

Further catering to their devotees—the outcast, misunderstood, pushed aside, and marginalized—the band have announced a collaboration with Curst Kosmetics for their “Devotion Ceremony Survival Kit.” It includes an exclusive The Funeral Portrait crossbody clear bag (with strap),set of two Nail Polishes, Chapstick, and four Shimmer Eyeshadows. Items from the kit will also be available for purchase individually. Pre-orders can be found HERE.

Heralded as “the inspiring antidote to stagnant metalcore” by Alternative Press, THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT are currently out on the last leg of their North American tour with Five Finger Death Punch, Marilyn Manson, and Slaughter To Prevail. Following its final stop on September 19 in Houston, TX, they’ll bring their theatrical stage show to Louder Than Life and Aftershock Festival. See full dates below.
