Die Geschichte von PICTURE began bereits vor 30 Jahren, als der Heavy Metal wie wir ihn heute kennen, geboren wurde. Sie sind die Pioniere dieses Genres. If you say Holland and the first Dutch metal band, which image comes to mind then? Right! We’re talking about PICTURE! And they’re back stronger and more motivated than ever.

Picture was the very first Dutch hardrock band with a "record deal". With a history of 7 released albums world-wide and extensive tours throughout Europe with a.o. AC/DC, Saxon, Ted Nugent, Rose Tattoo and April Wine, everybody understands the past of Picture.

Back in 1979 (30 years ago) the story of Picture began. Classic songs like Heavy Metal Ears, Diamond dreamer, Bombers and Eternal Dark (covered later by Swedish metal giants Hammerfall) and highly energetic live performances made Picture a very successful band. Picture paved the way for all other successful Dutch hardrock bands that followed in their footsteps soon afterwards.

In many countries in the world Picture is treated as a cult band and when the long anticipated reunion finally happened at the beginning of 2008, many invitations to play on big (foreign) festivals followed soon. A limited edition live CD was being recorded and from December 2008 until January 2009 the band retreated in the StarSound Studios in Utrecht (Holland) to record their new studio album "Old Dogs New Tricks". Picture, Old Dogs New Tricks October 1st 2009, 30 years after the release of their first album, a new Picture studio album "Old Dogs New Tricks" is officially released. The album contains a wide variety of hard rock and old school metal songs, completed with a breath taking ballad.

Picture has evolved through the year, and are now proud to present their latest masterpiece "WARHORSE"

Picture really got this one right and thanks to the mixing talents of onne of Europes top metal producers. Oscar Holleman (Within Temptation,Crezip,Evanescence etc..) they have produced an album that is an essential addition to your metal CD collection.

We have here the hardest hitting, heavy metal experience to come from Picture so far.
With the rerecorded classic Ëternal Dark’as a bonus track, Picture stamps, once again, its mark on heavy metal
