Portal (Brisbane, Australia) - Blackened Experimental Suffocating Death Metal… Obscure and heavily influenced by horror atmosphere, with each recording project striving for new ugly, creepy soundscapes and heaviness, with a range of tempo experimentation.Describing the band’s style, Decibel magazine said: “If Morbid Angel and Gorguts had birthed a German Expressionist child, that unholy creature would be Portal.The band cites as inspiration for its lyrical themes the entities mentioned in Lovecraft Mythos, such as Nyarlathotep, Yog-Sothoth, Azathoth, and Cthulhu.
Genius.

I can't believe I didn't hear about the new release until now. Two months. Two fucking months. How is that even possible? Days of obsessive listening to come.

Vexovoid is cool. But Abyssal are much cooler in my opinion.

Vexovoid is amazing. It's really hard to tell which of their albums is the best. They redefine extreme music. [2]

Check out Abyssal they are very similar, and some say better!

Pretty new to death metal, still looking for something as deliciously dense and textured as Swarth.

Vexovoid is incredible. Best since Outre.

I don't think Vexovoid is disappointing, and your suggestion is ludicrous. Jewish occult themes over Lovecraftian? Why? One's just as fictional as the other. Don't kid yourself otherwise.

Vexovoid may very well be their best album to date. It's definitely the most easily enjoyable
