Portrait of a Mastermind from Albuquerque, NM is fueled by powerful guitar riffs and intricate guitar solos. Portrait of a masterminds sound stands apart from other progressive metal. The use of technical souring melodies mixed with brutality to create a technical breed of catchy and intricate metal. Founder of the band Will Kern, who also writes the music, shows his skill and vision through his songwriting. Daniel Duerre, the latest addition to Portrait of a Mastermind, is a perfect fit for complementing and adding a heavy rhythm dynamic to the music. Hannah Dalton, the vocalist and front woman, will astonish and murder with her vocals. Hannah’s vocals can stand with the most heavy and hardcore vocals of any guy. Sam Maestas is an incredible drummer at the age of 18, playing some of the most complex and intricate rhythms and polyrhythms. Tim Atkinson, the bass player, adds his own taste to the music, playing more like a guitar player than a bass player; his solos and backup vocals pull everything together. This group forms to make one of the most interesting progressive metal bands around.
