THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT Are Bringing Emo Back! Lee Jennings Talks Live From Suffocate City & More!

In this exclusive interview, Lee Jennings of The Funeral Portrait joins Metal On Tap to celebrate the release of their first-ever live album, Live From Suffocate City — OUT NOW.

Recorded during a sold-out hometown show at The Masquerade in Atlanta, Live From Suffocate City captures everything that makes The Funeral Portrait’s live shows special: raw emotion, massive crowd sing-alongs, theatrical moments, and a nonstop energy that turns every show into a shared experience with the Coffin Crew.

Lee dives deep into why live albums matter, why bands don’t make them like they used to, and how hearing the crowd sing back songs like “Suffocate City,” “Holy Water,” and “Voodoo Doll” completely changes the meaning of those tracks. He also talks about filming the entire show for a CD / Blu-ray combo, releasing green and purple vinyl, and why this release is meant to be more than just another live record.

The conversation also touches on:

Growing up on emo and theatrical rock

Why The Black Parade Is Dead! is a huge inspiration

How their live show balances serious themes with pure fun

Collaborating with artists like Spencer Charnas, Ivan Moody, and Bert McCracken

Touring nonstop and plans for new music

And why Australia needs to prepare for mullet royalty 🇦🇺🤘

If you’ve ever wondered what The Funeral Portrait sounds like at full power, this album — and this interview — is the place to start.
