Portal - Vexvoid, new song[views:34280][posts:22]___________________________________ [Dec 14,2012 10:29am - chrisREX ""] Portal rules... Australian surrealist death metal terror unit PORTAL have completed work on their anticipated fourth full-length album entitled “Vexovoid”, the four year follow-up to their “Swarth” predecessor. Taking their sound of singular death metal psychosis by creating their darkest and most-dense sounding album to date, “Vexovoid” carries the tradition PORTAL have laid upon since their inception 18 years ago. Through the band’s strange, unsettling, avant-garde, and polarizing take on death metal (on a musical, lyrical, visual, and aesthetical level), throughout the years PORTAL have shape-shifted and inverted the genre into multiple realms of dementia. “Vexovoid”, as expected, is another dreadful and frightening observation of unorthodox death metal terror unparalleled. To be officially released on Feb 19th (LP version to be released not too long after the CD version) and featuring artwork by Reverend Kriss Hades, tracklisting for “Vexovoid” goes as follows: 1. Kilter 2. The Back Wards 3. Curtain 4. Plasm 5. Awryeon 6. Orbmorphia 7. Oblotten http://www.profoundlorerecords.com/portal-complete-work-on-new-album/ [img] |
| _________________________________ [Dec 14,2012 10:33am - KEVORD ""] Portal is another band I can't hear what people like about them. They seem like a band I should really be into but they just bore me to tears. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 14,2012 10:36am - chrisREX ""] Is it to chaotic for you? This new song is one of their least obtuse. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 14,2012 10:37am - Burnsy ""] Pumped. This also reminds me that I need to pick up impetuous ritual. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 14,2012 10:40am - KEVORD ""] I'll check it out when I get home tonight. Like I said they seem like a band I would like. But maybe it is too chaotic. Probably the same reason I can't get into Revenge. |

| ________________________________________ [Dec 14,2012 10:53am - AndrewBastard ""] i like IR much more than Portal |
| _________________________________ [Dec 14,2012 11:00am - KEVORD ""] Yeah, I actually did like the Impetuous Ritual album I heard. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 14,2012 11:18am - Burnsy ""] Sounds like a slithering slug in slow motion. Pretty rad. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 14,2012 12:19pm - trioxin245 ""] I always thought this band was boring. I get what theyre going for and I like that theyre unique, and it definitely has a ton of atomosphere, but after about a minute or two I start yawning. |

| ___________________________________________ [Dec 14,2012 12:34pm - joeyvsdavidlopan ""] This is awesome. Overly excited for this to come out. I've been on a huge Portal/Ocean kick lately. |
| ________________________________ [Dec 14,2012 5:19pm - KEVORD ""] After listening this new song isn't too bad. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 14,2012 5:23pm - arilliusbm ""] No one ever mentions the post-Cynic Portal. |
| _________________________________________ [Dec 14,2012 5:36pm - BobNOMAAMRooney ""] Slipknot meets Sunn O))) live show, boring albums. 2/10, would pay to stand outside Great Scott talking about /r/ threads again. |

| _____________________________________ [Dec 15,2012 12:08am - permafrost ""] Glad to hear they aren't changing their sound. Approved. IR is more structured than Portal. I dig both bands very much, but find I listen to IR's album far more frequently. |
