Outre, by PORTAL

Outre

by PORTAL

supported by

Bowerman5000 When listening to Portal’s music I wonder if the band, prior to releasing any music under their moniker, sat down at a table, appearing as normal human beings, while drinking the world famous gin from Australia’s Hippocampus Metropolitan Distillery, and asking each other, “What kind of music can we create that will mentally and spiritually tear asunder the listeners?” I imagine them finally finding their sound, a sound eventually scorching the earth of the metal landscape.

zachzoo Few bands can compare to Portal, a group that is otherworldly and eerie in their style. Outre is simply another display of what makes Portal an interesting group to behold. The band's composition and technical ability precipitates a wall of sound that traps and crushes the listener. And what a unique wall of sound they create as well. Portal must be extraterrestrial. Favorite track: 13 Globes.

Zach Death Metal is like horror movies in a lot of ways, one way is that most of it is contrived, derivative garbage. That which isn't garbage is either scary in a Halloweeney way (in other words, not scary at all.) or scary in a "this person has at least one restraining order filed on him" sort of way. Portal is that incredibly rare space of actually scary in an unearthly way. Best with headphones, late at night. Favorite track: Heirships.
