Музыка и песни Portal / Portal

Comes in a Gatefold cover (printed with copper ink on black) with re-worked layout (under the bands supervision) and an exclusive audio mastering for this LP pressing only. Pressed on solid Oxblood colored vinyl and traditional Black Vinyl. The original cover artwork is featured inside of the gatefold cover. "Outre" sees Portal take their adhering style of surreal demented bizarre death metal (although Portal really transcend such a term these days, especially in this day in age where most bands that pass as "death metal" present a feeble display, far from what true horrifying death metal should encompass) and take it to a much more disturbing paradigm, than was found on the band's monumental "Seepia" observation. Overall, such an album as "Outre" will only alienate Portal even more from the so-called death metal scene of today. Were most musicians like to play it safe and typical in such a genre, where things become easy to comprehend, Portal merely transcend all boundaries and go much beyond into a realm where no other band in the genre dare step foot in (on a musical and lyrical sense). Portal on "Outre" are: The Curator (Vocal Chords, Pulpit Forecaster Dictatorship), Horror Illogium (Seven Deadly Sinews Of Enigmatic Trauma), Aphotic (Seven Maudlin Cacophonic Infrastructure), Elsewhere (Writhin Undertow Omnitidings & Rift), Monocular (The Hands Of Time)" Record Label: Hells Headbangers Style: Death Metal

2015 re-press on traditional black vinyl and oxblood red vinyl in a Gatefold cover. A vision of utter horror, 'Seepia' is perhaps one of the most unique and intimidating albums ever conceived. Depraved, artsy and morally-impaired, through a twisted mindfuck of oppressive histrionics and the class of classic avant-garde cinema, Portal portrays theatrical musical dementia through a death metal lens.

Pressed on traditional black vinyl and swamp green vinyl with laser etched artwork on side D. Comes with a 16-page LP size booklet in a Gatefold cover. The approach to Portal's style of death metal has always tread the fine line between sheer madness and the intricately artful. Cinematic in scope, like a death metal interpretation of The Cabinet Of Dr. Cagliari or the death metal soundtrack to an ancient silent arthouse flick gone terribly awry, Portal have pretty much transcended the interpretation of what death metal should portray, and simply inverted and twisted it to no end. Even moreso on "Swarth". Almost serving as the missing link between Portal's previous abominations (namely "Seepia" and "Outre"), "Swarth" continues to bring the band's aesthetic to new disturbing levels of unease. Musically, "Swarth" is very labyrinth-like, very claustrophobic and suffocating where twisted counterpoint and scathing dissonance merge with earth scraping atmosphere to unveil the inevitable rising chaos. And as usual, with every Portal release, what is surely to divide and polarize death metal enthusiasts who either realize the substance, depth, and genius that Portal portray and the ones who simply cannot comprehend or understand the enigma that is Portal. And those who continue to be indifferent and can't seem to form any kind of opinion or expression because Portal's music is so fucked, uneasy, and just wrong in a way that it continues to push and tear the boundaries of extremity within death metal like no other band can through the filth, mire, and the utter crawling chaos that unearths itself through each chapter that creates a Portal release as a whole. Nonetheless, no death metal band has created such debate and dialogue as Portal have, and surely with "Swarth," such debate and dialogue will no doubt continue, confuse, and perplex. Nonetheless, this is how Portal's music, in a way, thrives. Record Label: Hells Headbangers Style: Death Metal

Portal return with a new four-track EP. The title track, co-written and performed with Glen Johnson of Piano Magic and Future Conditional, wears its influences on its sleeve, nodding intentionally towards the pioneering post-punk electronics of New Orde Record Label: Make Mine Music Style: Independent

The most frightening, unconventional, and bizarre death metal enigma (in every sense of the word) from Brisbane (Australia) known as PORTAL, first sowed the seeds of an ugly vision of occult harsh death metal horror in 1994 when guitarist Horror Illogium Record Label: Profound Lore Style: Metal
