Rising Atlanta-based rockers The Funeral Portrait deliver their brand new single, 'Voodoo Doll', via Better Noise Music.
The song describes unrequited devotion and taps into the pain of being in love with someone who self-sabotages by abusing substances. The track will be featured in the band’s highly anticipated first full-length record set for release in early 2023. ‘Voodoo Doll’ arrives alongside its the official music video – a collaboration with director Aaron Marsh that features colorful gothic imagery and an arrow-pierced angel voodoo doll interspersed with a live performance by the band.
“We’re beyond excited to share ‘Voodoo Doll’ with everyone, especially our Coffin Crew. We finally get to share the record that we have created for everyone,” said vocalist Lee Jennings. He continued sharing the inspiration behind the band’s new song, “I’ve experienced tons of grief from personal relationships ending, and I’ve shown my full heart to the wrong person too many times in my life.”

“While recording this record, I wanted to write about the experiences and situations along my life’s path so far. “Voodoo Doll” speaks to everyone who has ever been in an abusive relationship, either with a loved one or with themselves…. or both” This is something I have had to overcome many times in my life, and I want to share my feelings whether high or low… with the world.”
Already drawing critical acclaim, The Funeral Portrait has been featured in Alternative Press’ “100 Bands You Need To Know.” After playing the main stage at Inkcarceration Fest in 2019, the band took a short break during the pandemic to re-charge and have now announced upcoming support dates for The Fall Uprising Tour in the US with Kingdom Collapse and Dead Posey later this year.
The Funeral Portrait – composed of Lee Jennings (Vocals), Cody Weissinger (Guitar), Caleb Freihaut (Guitar/Auxiliary), Robert Weston (Bass), and Homer Umbanhower (Drums) – are an emotional rock outfit with a mix of theatrics and devotion to their passion for loud, uncompromising, anthemic music.
The band have been touring relentlessly and opened for acts such as Shinedown, Underoath, Skillet, From Ashes To New, Starset, Pvris, and more. Their most recent single, ‘Holy Water’, had consistent play at SiriusXM Octane upon its release.
