Band: Portal
Song: Revault Of Volts
Album: Ion (2018)
Genre: Death Metal
As you may remember if you were reading when I posted Avatar, I'm a huge fan of bands with a theme. The theme of Portal is to be incredible mysterious, with insanely complicated music.
I believe to date the identities of the members of Portal remains a mystery. While it's known that the band has gone through some shifts in members (thanks to this nifty wiki graph), they've managed to keep the general information on the band fairly light.
I love them though, I feel like the whole thing is a borderline ironic passion project like what my band is, only they're way better than we are.
The whole mystery around them is really attractive to me though. This album is so much better mixed than earlier stuff had been too, so you can hear what all the many layers of instruments are doing rather well. The old stuff was hella muddy, but this stuff is really surprisingly clear. Well, for what it is at least.
There's so much I feel like I get out of this music though, and I was super pumped to learn they were releasing a new album (this one) this year. I've given it a couple listens and it's basically exactly what I was hoping and dreaming for.
Needs a music video on par with Curtain or Glumurphonel though, it is missing that.
