Portal

Portal is an Australian extreme metal band hailing from Brisbane, Queensland, known for their unorthodox fusion of death metal with experimental and dissonant elements. Formed in the mid-1990s, the enigmatic group has built a reputation for their opaque aesthetic, obscured performances, and Lovecraftian themes, often delving into abstract and otherworldly horror. Their presentation is as mysterious as their sound, with members donning costumes and pseudonyms to maintain an aura of anonymity and theatricality.

The band's discography is a descent into sonic abysses, with releases that have progressively refined their cacophonous style. Starting with their debut "Seepia" in 2003, Portal has continually pushed the envelope of extremity. "Outre" (2007) and "Swarth" (2009) solidified their place in the underground metal scene with a barrage of twisted, labyrinthine riffs and an atmosphere thick with dread. As they evolved, albums like "Vexovoid" (2013) and "Ion" (2018) showcased a relentless pursuit of musical density and complexity. Their most recent offerings, "Hagbulbia" and "AVOW" in 2021, present a band that, despite their ever-growing discography and following, remains as enigmatic and uncompromising as when they first emerged from the shadows.
