The latest work of death metal psychosis from Australia... PORTAL's "Swarth" is the death metal release that invokes the end of the world and is Portal's most surreal, disturbing, and irregular offering to date. The approach to Portal's style of death metal has always tread the fine line between sheer madness and the intricately artful. Cinematic in scope, like a death metal interpretation of The Cabinet Of Dr. Cagliari or the death metal soundtrack to an ancient silent arthouse flick gone terribly awry, Portal have pretty much transcended the interpretation of what death metal should portray, and simply inverted and twisted it to no end. Even moreso on "Swarth".

Reissue, Blue W/ Black Smoke

Più scuro di un nembo, fatto di dolore, alienazione e tenebre IV: An Arrow in Heart, il nuovo album pubblicato dai francesi Aosoth, è come un male angosciante che tinge di nero ed infetta tutto ciò che sfiora.
Seguendo la direzione già intrapresa nel precedente full-lenght III – Violence & Variation, uscito nel 2011, la black metal band accentua ulteriormente le atmosfere lugubri e tenebrose, annegando nell’inchiostro più nero brani che opprimono e soffocano, impregnati di elettricità statica e funeree minacce.
Un album dall’ampio minutaggio e dalle tinte particolarmente fosche, che si inserisce a pieno titolo nella scia del religious black metal, pagando però un tributo piuttosto pesante ai connazionali Blut Aus Nord, che sembrano gravare sulla band come un ombra sinistra. Stesso sound malato, stesse chitarre pastose, distorte fino a renderle quasi nero fango fluidificato, che cola, perde forma, e ricopre tutto di una spessa coltre viscida e vischiosa.
