Beyond-Death Metal
Mar 02, 2013
Portal's brand of ultra-impenetrable death metal have afforded them a rare and paradoxical level of popularity for a band as extreme and unpalatable as they are. If you haven't heard them yet or found previous releases to be too much to handle then now's your chance to get to grips with them. Vexovoid eases up (very) slightly on the wall-of-noise approach and allows a rare glimpse into the structural mechanisms at the heart of Portal. Listen now before they submerge themselves back into the murk once again.

At least I only have you to debate with, and not all of Metal Storm like Merchant of Doom sometimes has to contend with

Two users... Three tops. That ain't everybody.

This and Swarth are my favorites for Portal. I tried to love Outre, but it just sounded like a mess. Although all Portal is supposed to be messy, Outre just didn't feel right.

I'm definitely biased towards Outre because it's one of the few albums with such a monumental impact on my current musical taste. This album is awesome though, and The Black Wards is up there as one of their best songs.

Yeah, The Back Wards is my favourite track of theirs, and I'm thinking this one might actually be my favorite.

It's better than what they've done before IMO.

A very very complicated sonic knot to untangle. First time listening to Portal. Not sure I like it or not, but damn, am I impressed.
