The Funeral Portrait closed a major chapter after scoring two No. 1 singles.
Those wins came through “Holy Water” with Ivan Moody of Five Finger Death Punch.
They followed it with “Suffocate City,” featuring Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills.
On August 22, 2025, the band officially sent their new single “Dark Thoughts” to radio.
At the same time, they released a special EP titled Dark Thoughts through Better Noise Music.
The EP offers four different versions of the song, giving fans multiple ways to experience its message.
The EP opens with the original studio version of “Dark Thoughts.”
It then moves into the “Beyond The Abyss” remix.
The tracklist also captures the band’s energy through a live recording from their sold-out show in Atlanta.
Finally, the EP is rounded out by an exclusive collaboration with Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria.
Alongside the EP, the band also revealed two new music videos.
One presents “Dark Thoughts (Beyond The Abyss Remix)” in a darker visual form.

What Inspired The Funeral Portrait with Dark Thoughts?
Frontman Lee Jennings explained that the song reflects a deeply personal experience.
He explained that his personal journey with OCD inspired Dark Thoughts.
He explained that the track explores the feeling of being trapped inside one’s own mind and not knowing where to turn for help.
Still, he stressed that the band wanted the song to carry a sense of hope.
Through the music, they aimed to show how people can come together.
At its core, the song reflects the power of community and shared support.
With their signature theatrical energy, The Funeral Portrait continue to stand out as one of the most compelling acts in modern rock.
Their 2024 album Greetings From Suffocate City already featured major collaborations, and the Dark Thoughts EP now pushes that world even further.
Designed as a special release for their loyal fanbase, the Coffin Crew, the EP adds new depth to the band’s growing universe.
The Dark Thoughts EP is now available on all major digital streaming platforms.
