Portal - Swarth

Why the fuck is this crap band so hyped up ?? They can't play a single note right, the vocals are pathetic, the drums are always on 300 bpm, there is no guitaring AT ALL, the production is terrible to say the least. How can people say this creates a "dark, evil" atmosphere ?? The only thing I got out of this record is a fucking migraine.
Fucking piece of shit.

Oh really, this album is great if you ask me and the atmosphere IS evil and dark. This is probably my favorite Portal album, I am listening to the album right now with my headphones and it doesn't give me a headache.

This album takes a lot of patience. To me it almost seems like an up-tempo drone album. The music is actually very impressive if you are willing to sit down and give it a proper listen. But if you don't enjoy it, that's still understandable.

Any album named after pork rind is worth checking out.

Ricky Bobby agrees.

Interesting music to say the least...

I remember this being my first encounter with Portal, and played it at on vinyl at 33 rpm instead of 45, realising only months later of the error No wonder the sound was so impenetrable, felt like an idiot haha ! (I hate when vinyl don't specify to play at 45 ).

That's hysterical. As if Portal wasn't inaccessible enough already

I wonder how that sounded like xD

Didn't sound bad, the difference is much less noticeable than with other bands coz it's already murky enough. But I like then more the normal way

One of the best album I have ever hear.

On Omenknow they totally dropped the ball and threw in some harmonious sequence of notes

And that’s when I realized that they’re just regular dudes, flesh and blood. Weaklings, couldn’t keep the vibe up, lol

But honestly, the album’s not bad. Larvae is probably the best track.
