Portread was created in 2013 and the band is currently engaged with recording brand new material. The band grew out of a death metal band named Obscured, which was active in the early 90s. Two original Obscured members Meelis and Indrek came together in 2012, in order to form Portread.

New material also sees further co-operation with upcoming young singer Anne Arrak. Her melodic yet strong vocal parts mixed with heavy guitar riffs that Obscured was known for create unique sound image which is safe to say a continuation of Obscured's two-decade long experiments of combining metal and beautiful female vocals.

Portread's first LP will hopefully see the light of day in 2018.
