As the construction work going on next door sounds more and more like they are trying to open a gateway to the deep dark depths of hell, let me take this time to introduce them to something that might help them open up the gates a lot faster and easier.. that being Portal's latest album 'Vexovoid'.
I can't think of many bands who can be so down tuned, yet carve out an absolute whirlwind of dark chaos. This is scathing, just drenched in deep and droning distortion and blistering. How low can you go? Seriously. The key here though is the way the songs weave and suddenly twist. Take the windy melodies and out of no where, churn out ridiculous blast beating. The way the riffs tremolo and drone out or the way the drums just lay out their thunderous thuds just sends a sick feeling to the pit of your stomach.
It is almost like you hear and feel a deep ringing noise beneath you, drilling.. burrowing its way so deep to touch the earths core. But with real strain and still enough strength to claw its way to it. Even the strained calls of The Curator just adds to the deep and dark devastation. Enough force to blanket the city in a thunderous storm so destructive that it will have the people mistakenly think that a black hole has arrived to compress the world into a tiny particle.
So, perhaps instead of spending your weeks, months or whatever trying to unearth the world next door. Put this album on and I am pretty certain you will have the job done in 35 minutes. Hmm, I think these noises at either end have compressed my brain because my head hurts now. Time for a break..
