Still drenched in murk and otherworldly dissonance, this record marks a pivotal moment in their discography—one where the band embraces clarity without sacrificing the suffocating atmosphere that defines their identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the opening pulses of “Kilter,” Portal reveals an evolved command of dynamics and pacing. The churn and crawl are still present, but the riffs are more deliberate, even vaguely decipherable. There's a grim elegance to the way the band balances violence and space, creating moments of almost-melodic eeriness that hang in the air like a rotting fog. “Curtain” coils and unravels with a ritualistic cadence, while “Plasm” drips and bends through surreal tremolo figures, each note warped like light distorted by a black hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Curator’s vocals remain a vital presence—low, commanding, and buried just enough to feel like a voice calling out from beneath the ruins. It’s less a performance and more an invocation, woven into the fabric of the music rather than riding above it. The drumming, too, is precise but loose enough to feel organic, like tectonic plates grinding beneath the earth's surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe production on Vexovoid is its most striking evolution. Where previous albums like Outre’ or Swarth reveled in sonic obfuscation, this record allows the listener to peer slightly deeper into the madness. The clarity doesn’t dilute the dread—it enhances it, exposing every jagged edge and scraping frequency with dreadful intimacy. The ambient textures still lurk in the periphery, but now serve as eerie connective tissue between crushing passages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePortal has always conjured imagery rather than traditional songcraft, and here that imagery feels even more vivid. If earlier albums were chaotic storms, Vexovoid is the architecture left behind in the aftermath—decaying, cyclopean structures that bend physics and time. Each track leads further into an impossible geometry, with “Orbmophia” and “Awryeon” pushing deeper into the void while clinging to threadbare notions of form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFar from a compromise, Vexovoid is a triumph of restraint and vision. It channels the same unsettling energies that made Portal infamous, but with a new focus that sharpens the horror rather than dulling it. It may be more accessible in structure, but that makes the terror within all the more potent. This is death metal as psychological disintegration, refined into its most haunting form.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Portal","offers":[{"title":"Aqua Blue and Black Marble","offer_id":48105359081717,"sku":"HELLSLP366","price":49.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/1986\/0725\/files\/a0070892356_10.jpg?v=1777787669"},{"product_id":"portal-swarth-2lp","title":"Portal – Swarth 2LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eSwarth is not so much a death metal album as it is a descent into some impossibly ancient engine of ruin, a machine fed by human anxiety and sculpted out of audible decay. If previous albums like Seepia and Outre marked Portal’s gradual slip into the chasm, then Swarth is the moment they vanish entirely beneath the surface—dragging the listener with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the opening moments of “Larvae,” it’s clear that Swarth is designed to resist clarity. The production buries riffs beneath corroded layers of distortion, where the guitars heave and spasm like rusted gears grinding against bone. The drums, handled by Ignis Fatuus, feel like collapsing architecture—mechanical and unrelenting, yet prone to sudden, off-kilter shifts in tempo that destabilize any sense of rhythm. The Curator’s voice is a presence more than a performance, rumbling from some indeterminate void with the force of prophecy, or perhaps a curse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere most death metal aims for technical prowess or primal force, Portal obliterates both notions. Their songwriting here is not conventionally structured but shaped more like waves of surreal violence, washing over the listener in cycles of entropy. “The Swayy” stands out for its almost graspable pattern, a grotesque ritual pulse that lurches forward with ceremonial dread. “Werships” and “Marityme” stretch this vision to the edge of collapse, threading minimal movement through dense arrangements that suggest not evolution, but corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no breathing room in Swarth, no dynamic break, no moment of catharsis. This is a death metal record stripped of human gesture and reassembled through a lens of Lovecraftian surrealism. Dissonance is not used to provoke tension, but to dissolve meaning entirely. It's music that asks for total immersion and offers no reassurance. It does not play to the crowd or seek genre validation—it exists in its own self-contained dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd yet, beneath the chaos, a strange coherence emerges. The album flows like a single, malformed composition, each track a deformed limb of the whole. The closer, “Marityme,” drags the listener into the final convulsions of the abyss, a slow uncoiling of everything the album has built up, like the last sputtering breath of a machine that was never meant to be heard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSwarth is not for the faint of heart or the casually curious. It demands patience, full attention, and a willingness to embrace what at first feels like madness. But for those who find beauty in the incomprehensible, this record is an unparalleled statement of purpose. Portal do not challenge death metal norms so much as render them irrelevant. With Swarth, they construct their own language of horror—one that communicates directly with the subconscious, bypassing logic and leaving only the echo of nightmares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA monument to dread, and one of extreme metal’s most unique and unsettling creations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Portal","offers":[{"title":"Swamp Green w' White Swirl and Black Splatter","offer_id":48105359114485,"sku":null,"price":59.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/1986\/0725\/files\/SWARTH_00.jpg?v=1777787919"},{"product_id":"portal-ion-lp","title":"Portal – Ion LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith Ion, Portal dismantle expectations and reforge their craft into something scalpel-sharp, brilliantly fractured, and unsettlingly lucid. Gone is the murky density that cloaked earlier records like Outre’ and Vexovoid in a fog of dread. In its place is a flayed and glaring intensity, where every jagged tremolo and frenzied drum pattern feels exposed under a clinical, unblinking light. The result is a death metal record that trades suffocation for incision—cutting with precision rather than crushing with weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the opening sparks of “ESP Ion Age,” Portal announce this transformation with a blitz of angular riffs and almost mechanical violence. The clarity of production allows the band’s notoriously frenetic playing to surface in full—each guitar line twisted like broken circuitry, each rhythmic shift executed with machine-like calculation. Horror Illogium’s guitar work is a maze of reversed logic and dissonant geometries, while The Curator’s breathless vocal delivery slithers between whispered incantation and subterranean roar, never dominating the mix but always haunting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets Ion apart is its ability to maintain this feverish pace without collapsing into repetition or fatigue. “Phathom” and “Phreqs” stand out not only for their mind-warping technicality, but for the eerie semblance of structure beneath the chaos. Riffs coil and unwind like corrupted DNA, while drums spiral in convulsive patterns that feel both improvisational and meticulously mapped. Even the ambient detours—“Spores” and the closing minutes of “Olde Guarde”—serve as essential moments of decompression, allowing the listener to briefly surface before being dragged back under.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe absence of a credited bassist only adds to the record’s alien feel. It creates a hollow space in the frequency range, amplifying the shrillness of the guitars and the sharp snap of the snare. The overall mix feels weightless yet volatile, as if the songs are being beamed in from some quantum void rather than played by human hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIon is not simply another Portal record. It is a deliberate mutation—a cleansing fire that burns away the murk to reveal the band’s core: erratic, angular, and utterly committed to the art of sonic disfigurement. It is less a death metal album than a transmission from a collapsing dimension, encoded in frequencies that sear the brain and contort the soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this unrelenting, labyrinthine landscape, Portal have never sounded more alive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Portal","offers":[{"title":"Silver","offer_id":48105359147253,"sku":"HELLSLP138","price":49.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/1986\/0725\/files\/ION_00.jpg?v=1777788066"},{"product_id":"portal-seepia-lp","title":"Portal – Seepia LP","description":"\u003cp\u003ePortal’s debut full-length Seepia remains one of the most bizarre and arresting statements in death metal history. Released in 2003, it captures the band at their most primal yet conceptually rich stage. What unfolds across these tracks is not a conventional extreme metal album, but a corrosive spiral into surreal horror, channeled through broken riffs, unsettling production, and a disfigured sense of structure that pushes music into something closer to abstract performance art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the opening moments of “Glumurphonel,” Portal makes it clear that Seepia is designed to disorient. Guitars scrape and twist with mechanical precision, constantly moving but never landing on a groove. Horror Illogium’s playing is as alien as it is intricate, evoking the sound of collapsing architecture rather than riffs in any traditional sense. The drumming veers between restraint and convulsive outbursts, never falling into familiar patterns, while the bass coils beneath it all like a lurking presence, barely distinguishable from the overall decay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of this sonic chaos is The Curator. His vocal delivery on Seepia is more incantation than roar. Instead of overpowering the listener, his voice creeps in, muttering beneath the surface, adding a sense of dread that’s far more unsettling than sheer volume could ever be. It suits the album’s atmosphere of rotting elegance, where every piece feels carefully unhinged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Seepia has been compared to the likes of Beherit and Immolation, Portal twists those influences into a form entirely their own. The production is abrasive and lo-fi, but in a calculated way. It sounds antique, as if recovered from a haunted reel of tape, eroded by time and suffering. The result is music that feels not just written, but summoned—an aural curse steeped in antique horror, occult obsession, and avant-garde disdain for tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes Seepia so striking is its dual nature. On one hand, it is grotesque and impenetrable, difficult to understand by design. On the other, there is a theatrical intelligence guiding every moment. The band’s sense of timing, texture, and mood betrays a deliberate artistic vision. This is not chaos for chaos’s sake. Portal controls their madness with the poise of master performers, pulling from the language of classic horror cinema and twisted experimentalism to craft something uniquely menacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor those unprepared, Seepia may sound like death metal collapsing under its own weight. But with patience, the patterns begin to emerge, and the band’s brilliance becomes undeniable. It is a rare kind of record—intimidating, repulsive, yet strangely beautiful. Few albums in the genre feel so deliberate in their descent into dementia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo decades on, Seepia still holds power as a disturbing artifact. It offers no comfort, no catharsis, only an invitation to witness music unravel and reform in the hands of madmen. Whether viewed as a warped tribute to the legacy of underground death metal or a declaration of artistic war against it, Seepia remains unmatched in its vision.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Portal","offers":[{"title":"Cloudy Brown","offer_id":48105359180021,"sku":"HELLS137","price":49.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/1986\/0725\/files\/SEEPIA_00.jpg?v=1777788244"},{"product_id":"portal-outre-lp","title":"Portal – Outré LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith Outré, Portal did not just follow up Seepia—they unraveled it further, splitting the seams and twisting the foundation into something even more grotesque and unknowable. What began as warped and unsettling death metal in their earlier work has here become a fully mutated entity. Outré doesn’t seek to refine the ideas of its predecessor—it sinks them deeper into the mire and invites the listener to follow.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis record does not conform to any current of contemporary death metal. While most of the genre in the mid-2000s was moving toward polish, precision, and performative brutality, Portal chose obscurity, suffocation, and abstraction. The production alone makes this clear. Guitars do not riff in any recognizable form. They swarm and collapse like decaying architecture, producing a wall of diseased texture rather than melody. The Curator’s vocals are buried beneath this mass, delivering arcane proclamations from a place that feels far removed from the present—neither human nor theatrical, just pure dread given voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe drums, handled by Monocular, play a key role in the record’s unstable momentum. They lurch and stagger, often deliberately at odds with what little structure exists in the songs. Instead of propelling the music forward, they contribute to its sense of inertia—as if the whole record is sinking, not moving. On tracks like “Abysmill” and “13 Globes,” this rhythmic sabotage only makes the experience more oppressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRather than present distinct songs, Outré offers a single contiguous descent. There are passages that briefly feel graspable—like the start of “Black Houses” or the sudden eruption in “Omnipotent Crawling Chaos”—but they are fleeting. Every moment threatens to dissolve into feedback or collapse under its own weight. And yet, through this chaos, there is control. Horror Illogium’s guitar work may sound improvised to the untrained ear, but there is method to his madness. Beneath the swirling dissonance lies a carefully measured approach to tonality and pacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of Outré’s most fascinating qualities is how it refuses to reveal itself all at once. Each listen peels away a layer, offering glimpses into the buried mechanics of its soundworld. The discomfort this record produces is not born of aggression, but of disorientation. It is like wandering an abandoned asylum where nothing chases you—but the silence is constantly closing in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePortal’s aesthetic here is not death metal with horror themes. It is horror itself rendered through sound. The atmosphere is so thick and unwavering that by the time closer “Sourlows” ends, the silence feels almost shocking. The band’s visual and lyrical themes—antique madness, decayed elegance, Lovecraftian entropy—are perfectly reflected in the music. Even the runtime feels intentional. At just over half an hour, Outré never overstays its welcome, but it lingers long after it's over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Seepia offered glimpses of the abyss, Outré pulls you into it entirely. It is one of the rare death metal records that achieves a genuine sense of unease—not through gore or shock tactics, but through total collapse of structure and sound. It demands effort, patience, and an openness to death metal stripped of all its familiar comforts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not an album for casual listening. It is not for those seeking riffs, hooks, or clarity. Outré exists as a monument to death metal’s outermost fringe—a masterwork of alienation, decay, and deliberate confusion.

Frustrated, she found comfort in the arms of a widowed neighbor, but when Li remained at home for an unexpected stretch of time, Cifu was prompted to develop a method to signal her lover it was safe to approach. She stitched a special green hat that she handed to her husband as he was about to leave town; when Li was wearing the hat, it worked like a traffic signal - green meant go. But this didn't last for long, during one trip Li returned home early and caught Cifu and their neighbor together, and when the local community caught wind of the story, the green hat became an enduring symbol of infidelity. On Tzusing's sophomore album the Malaysian-born artist, who lives between Shanghai and Taipei, meditates on China's complicated history of patriarchal heteronormativity, and how these archaic double standards continue to dominate the culture in pervasive, often invisible ways. Even in progressive circles, internalized male inadequacy and its inevitable projection of possessiveness and aggression has been brushed underneath the rug, so by addressing it head-on, Tzusing\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eattempts to question these structures using a level of aesthetic anxiety and thematic intensity that's hard to ignore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrowing up between Singapore, Taiwan, China, and the USA, Tzusing was living in Chicago when his love of music turned into an obsession. After relocating to China for work, he cut his teeth DJing at The Shelter in Shanghai and began refining his personal musical signature. A slew of EBM-inspired 12\"s on Ron Morelli's L.I.E.S. imprint were followed by his 2017 debut album 東方不敗 that was inspired by Jin Yong’s popular 1960s wuxia novel The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, a story about a swordsman who castrates himself to learn a powerful fighting technique. 绿帽 Green Hat builds on that record's themes, deconstructing a different facet of gender as it's perceived within Chinese culture. On '趁人之危(Take Advantage)', Tzusing obscures Daniel Plainview's notorious growl from There Will Be Blood underneath a patchwork of springy percussion and electrified wails. The message is clear: Plainview's character represents the darkness underlying American masculinity, and Tzusing is drawing a direct parallel with China. The history and mythology may be different, but the problem remains. Rhythms do the heavy lifting on 'Muscular Theology', interlocking and falling apart, and connecting fragments of techno, house, and club templates with disorienting FX. The dancefloor can provide an unorthodox space for outsiders to recognize the dissonance in their cultural programming, and Tzusing suggests this not by sonic fusion but by borderless cohesion that sucks the listener in before they're completely aware of the message.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd while 绿帽 Green Hat is unashamed to lean into its layered concept, the album never loses its well-rehearsed dancefloor momentum. Tzusing has been through many metamorphoses during his career, but it's here where sounds most eager to unify his interests and inclinations. From the ruthlessly funky hard drum inversion of '孝忍狠 (Filial Endure Ruthless)' and the manic uptempo roll of 'Exascale', to the gurgling combination of wheezing voices and downtempo rhythms on Suda collaboration 'Cloud Tunnel' and the wedding party flex of epic closing track 'Residual Stress', there's a sense that the producer has truly found his groove. It's an album that underscores dance music's often manic uneasiness, smoothly paralleling this with the frenzied stress of infidelity. Fear is a well-worn musical theme that transcends genre, but Tzusing approaches it from a fresh perspective; this isn't blood dripping from skulls, it's rapid-fire thoughts piercing the mind. Now that's truly terrifying.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tzusing","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":48122258030837,"sku":"PAN123LP","price":54.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/1986\/0725\/files\/GH_00.jpg?v=1777951201"},{"product_id":"isis-in-the-absence-of-truth-2lp","title":"Isis – In The Absence Of Truth 2LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eContinuing in Ipecac's series of Isis reissues, 'In the Absence of Truth' is the band’s 2006 release, remastered by James Plotkin. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeluxe 140g \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e2LP anniversary reissue on either black or red ecomix coloured vinyl, packaged in a tip-on gatefold jacket.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExpanding upon the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003egroup's previous full-length, 'Panopticon', further exploring lead singer Aaron Turner's clean vocals (though his former techniques, which relied more on screaming and growling, are still present as well).
