“Two-thirds of the way through …Beginning of the End, Houston rapper Slim Guerilla pops up for a verse on a 66-second-long song called “Chamber of Misery Pt. IV.” In their nine-year career, Portrayal of Guilt have trained fans to expect unexpected genre detours, but this one still comes as a surprise. Forged in the teeming pits of Austin’s metal/hardcore scene, PoG absorbed the high-octane thrills of thrash heroes Iron Age as much as the abrasive edge of noisy industrial act Street Sects, and they were immediately able to sporadically deploy these varied influences at will. Concluding with the two grungiest compositions in Portrayal of Guilt’s oeuvre, …Beginning of the End comes into focus as a deliberate arc. The album takes a winding descent from instant-gratification headbangers to more meditative, mournful ground, but it wrests idiosyncratic darkness out of every step.” - Pitchfork 2026
