A Predator's Portrait is the third album released by the Swedish melodic death metal band Soilwork. It was released on February 20, 2001.
This album is considered by many as the band's finest hour[citation needed], possibly their most popular (followed closely by their follow-up Natural Born Chaos), and the transitional album that set them apart from other Swedish death metal bands. This is the first album where Bjorn "Speed" Strid started utilizing clean vocals mixed with his traditional screaming style.
