Portraits of Past was an American post-hardcore band from the San Francisco Bay Area that existed roughly from 1994–1995.[1] The genre of music that they helped create is often described as "screamo," though that term was not used at the time the band was active. As Kent McClard recounts on the Ebullition website, the band's popularity grew only a couple of years after their demise at the end of 1995.[2]

Portraits of Past played a number of reunion shows in the second half of 2008. A new song was played at two California and two New York shows. Of the new song, lead vocalist Rob Pettersen has said, "We are not sure if other songs will be written or how/if we will release it/them. Nothing is ruled out, however… "[3]

New material did eventually surface on an EP, Cypress Dust Witch, which was released by Excursions Into The Abyss on October 20, 2009.[4]

Portraits of Past (с англ. — «Портреты прошлого») — американская скримо-группа из Сан-Франциско, которая первоначально существовала в 1994—1995[1]. Жанр музыки, который они помогли создать, часто описывается как скримо, хотя этот термин не использовался в то время, когда группа существовала. Как рассказывает Кент Макклард на сайте Ebullition, популярность группы выросла лишь спустя несколько лет после распада группы в 1995 году[2].
