Porcelain is the fourth studio album by German alternative metal band Emil Bulls, released on May 12, 2003. Produced by Wolfgang Stach and mixed by Stephan Glauman, it was the band's first record released on the now (circa 2004) independent Motor Music. The album marks a departure from the rapcore influence found on Angel Delivery Service toward a more progressive sound. It is also the last recording in which drummer Stefan Finauer would partake as a member of the band.
