Portal's New Album
2012-11-25 by Karl V.H. | 67 Replies | 2135 Views

Portal have announce their new album will be released on February 19th, 2013. Frontman Horror Illogium commented on the new album by saying, "Death metal is very special when done right, before it became over polished and lost all of its spirit. We simply intended to spend more time on getting the songs as tight and effective as possible". The bands label, Profound Lore Records, also commented on the new effort saying, "the most dense and biggest sounding Portal album to date. The death metal psychosis has taken a new twisted life of its own."

More details to come.

they sound like they're really up their own asses. making sweeping generalizations about dm, then proceed to falling into them with their next sentence.

basically, I'm stoked

@Keyblade33
You obviously don't know the difference between tight, well played musicianship and overly polished, mechanical sounding production.

In other news, I'm stoked.

you checked the definition of dick-riding? interesting.

and... shit taste as defined by... you? lol. god forbid I enjoy some music that has an established
fanbase :P you need to chill out.

Wizard, I know you're being facetious, but that's still a good description.

"Death metal is very special when done right, before it became over polished and lost all of its
spirit" ...just makes it sound like they have a bunch of inflated egos. not like they're "doing it
right" either. I guess anything that doesn't sound like a blender at 2000 rpm is "over polished."
Metal isn't fun when the band has to try this hard.
