Swedish heavy metallers PORTRAIT will release their new album, Crossroads, on April 25th via Metal Blade Records. The album track 'We Were Not Alone' is streaming below. Pre-orders are up now at this location.

An update from Portrait states: "We have recorded a cover version of the unreleased JUDAS PRIEST song 'Mother Sun', that will be included on a CD single coming with the April issue of Sweden Rock Magazine. Apart from 'Mother Sun' it will also contain two songs from our upcoming album. Note that the CD is only included in the subscribers edition of the magazine and will not be available in stores, etc."

A previous message from Portrait: "Crossroads is a sevenfold blessing and curse upon a dying music scene, an album imbued with something untouchable and yet undeniable. This first single 'In Time' was the first song written for Crossroads and is one of the more straight-forward ones of the album. Bang or be banged!"

"This is our most important album up to date in so many ways, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the final outcome. To me personally, Portrait has finally become what I have always wanted the band to be, and we are hungrier than ever. The new album will speak for itself, and the year 2014 will be a year of Truth and of Conquest. Beware!" - Christian Lindell, guitars
