One of the most interesting rising stars of emo rock, The Funeral Portrait released their second album Greetings From Suffocate City last fall to widespread international acclaim. The album was released by Better Noise Music. Singles from the successful album also appeared on American radio charts, and the band has toured with the biggest names in heavy music.
Now The Funeral Portrait is offering their fans a special treat with the deluxe version of their second album, which will be released on June 13th. Today, a new version of the song Holy Water is being released, featuring as guest Five Finger Death Punch’s singer Ivan Moody.
“Before we toured together, I wasn’t very familiar with The Funeral Portrait’s music, so I didn’t know what to expect,” says Ivan Moody, adding, “But after watching their shows night after night, seeing how they dominated the stage and got the audience involved, I was completely hooked. The passion, intensity and raw emotion they bring to their shows make them one of the most exciting new bands to come out. We had talked about collaborating before the tour, but the timing never quite clicked. Then, one day I was in the car and I heard Holy Water on the radio and I couldn’t help but sing along! It immediately brought back the idea of collaborating, so I contacted Lee and we agreed to do the song again together.”
Lee Jennings, lead singer of The Funeral Portrait, says that Holy Water has always been a personal and cathartic cleansing song for him:
“Holy Water is about facing your darkest moments, and gathering the strength to cleanse yourself of the burden of difficult experiences. It’s been incredible to see how this song connects people. Especially when the audience shouts the lyrics back to us, it proves how music can truly heal. Ivan Moody took this song to another level. His energy, passion and personal story made him the perfect voice to interpret these lyrics, and we are truly honored to have him on board.”
