I read that the two albums are meant to be played simultaneously.
I don't know which demon it will summon but I will make an attempt 😂
testing this now, sounds cool.
Necrotic Nick- Playing both of those albums at the same time sounds like a horrible idea. I'd probably get ripped apart by cenobites. lol
@@thrallsofmetal It actually makes both halves more listenable in my experience. It's almost like a full mix was split between 2 discs rather than it being 2 competing sources. The audio doesn't fight, it compliments. Apparently Neurosis have done a similar 2 disc at once concept with tribes of neurot, and the flaming lips may have "invented" the idea with their 4CD Zaireeka album.
I didn't find this out until looking it up after watching your review, so thanks guys. Cheers!
@@dainbramage0 Rosetta did the same with Galilean satellites.
@@thrallsofmetal did someone say cenobites
I heard avow yesterday and never felt something like it! Looking forward to this one!
Necrotic Nick- If you already haven't jammed it, it's completely different.
Love Portal, can't wait to jam these 2 records together.
Necrotic Nick- Isn't that the musical equivalent of opening the lament configuration in Hellraiser? lol
@@thrallsofmetal We have such sights to show you.
Necrotic Nick- You're suffering will be legendary... even in hell!
@@thrallsofmetal *your
Phil Anselmo loves Portal. He often is seen wearing their shirts. He practically championed Portal. The whole weird, horror vibes you guys kept mentioning was probably what got Phil into the band. And Phil loves his horror.
Necrotic Nick- I've noticed that after people brought it up more and it totally makes sense with his love of horror. This is a bit much for me in terms of wanting to go back to it. It's pretty fucked up. lol
The singer spends a whole day meditating on darkness satan and death and he'll and let's it . I heard the goal was to make listeners insane and sick. This doesn't even have to be supernatural it's science of vibrations of psychology.
Phil ripped alot of there lyrics off in scour. You need a translator to find portals spells. One spell involves an incantation to dig up a dead priest and bury him facing west so his soul is bound by the necromancer and he can never be at rest. Dig into more after a bit.
This companion is very experimental and saw portal shift into more dark ambient and noise music. It boarders music but it’s a great listen if you’re up for a challenging listen
I "fell asleep" to this last night...aka clenched the covers up to my eyes as I lay terrified in the dark...it was awesome!! 🤣
Necrotic Nick- Well, you're alive still... right?
@@thrallsofmetal I mean...I believe so, physically speaking...but, I'm not entirely sure anymore!! WHAT'S REAL?!?!?!
THE PORTAL IS OPEN
The curator is the witchking and a band of nazul. His voice sounds like the witching.
That link is to both albums mixed together
Necrotic Nick- I need some time away from them before returning to that madness. lol
yeah, these two albums are truly some of the most visceral music I've ever heard, even more disturbing than power electronics/industrial noise like Merzbow, Whitehouse or Brighter Death Now!
I feel the opposite...been into that music for a long time and they should stick to death metal IMO, it's their first album where they turn the metal down, and I don't think it works as well...
@@g-man4744 it definitely shows that they have range though, maybe they can evolve into something that encompasses both genres on a balanced level in the future
@@jboogedy yeah, totally, somehow it feels like they HAD to delve fully into it as part of that progression, I know they just released 2 albums but I am quite excited about what they are going to do next already!
Feel bad hit of the summer.
Necrotic Nick- Is it the "feel bad" hit or the "feel the dark, cold, dismal nothingness of the world" hit?
This channel is great and it took balls to review Portal. The most accurate description I heard is that Portal is the absolute limit of heavy music. How ever heavy you think you like it Portal goes over that limit. Love them or hate them I think that sit alone as the heaviest band on earth
If you haven't already, check out the band Reverorum Ib Malacht. They rival Portal in sheer terror.
This is like a real life sith Lord makes a,band. I was waiting for the force lighting shoot from his hands to the ears and it does.
This album reminded me of the short sound intro for ‘Souls to Deny’ by Suffocation . . . except 38 minutes long and no pay off or build into anything worthwhile. Definitely not my kind of album ; and I love dungeon drone ambience albums.
Necrotic Nick- It's not my style at all but I appreciate it for what it is: a pure mind fuck. I doubt I'll ever listen to it again though
I listened to them before bed the one night. I had a nightmare that I was kidnapped. Lol. Still love them though.
Ever listen to OLD "musical dimensions of sleestack" album? You might like it! 👍
It sounds like it was written in an insane asylum and come to think of it is that where Profound Lore Records is? This band is disturbing yet good! 🤘😂
Necrotic Nick- Part of me wishes they weren't so good at being creepy as hell. lol
It was so weird .. first : a new album? .. looking on metallum: wait another album- in the same year??!
I was actually annoyed ot was broken up with adds on the video ..
Necrotic Nick- Yeah this caught us off guard but honestly I didn't mind the adds because this thing is an audio nightmare.
A lot of bands do harsh noise/drone/dark ambient albums but Portals take on it translates their Lovecraftian insane horror exceptionally across.
The band that comes to mind as a comparison is Gnaw Their Tongues.
Necrotic Nick- I actually revisited the only Gnaw Their Tongues album I have (L'arrivée de la terne mort triomphante) an this was more nightmarish. It's pure insanity and darkness.
You must listen to their 2009 album. You Will love it. 😊
It is crazy 2 albums!!
Question: where did you get the Qujia board
Necrotic Nick- At a Toy's R Us forever ago. lol. It even glows in the dark.
@@thrallsofmetal I'm jealous
Holy shit! That was Candy Land when we filmed this!
What an evil fucking album this is a nightmare in music form
Necrotic Nick- Agreed.
play both albums simultaneously for extra creepy flavour
Necrotic Nick- I'm plenty creeped out already so... no. lol
You guys going to review the new Ghastly album?
Necrotic Nick- Got to this one late but yes. It's already up. lol
I don’t know if I just have a different brain set up, but I just don’t find this stuff that creepy . It kind of helps me focus, haha.
I did just listen to the mashup of the two playing at the same time and that was a bit creepier. They go really well together
I agree
Necrotic Nick- I mean, we're all wired differently but sonically this was my limit I think. It just gave me the most unsettling feeling throughout the album. That's me though.
Is that Cryptic Shift I hear?
Necrotic Nick- Good ear, man!
Tis indeed. I love Cryptic Shift!
Thralls of metal hello I’m 17 and into extreme music my friend told me about this today and challenged me to listen to this album in a pinch black room and I did this album is evil as fuck i will warn people getting into extreme music do listen to this first is is NOT for the faint of heart but anyway love your vids and keep up the good work guys love it when you upload 😁😁😁👍
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! Yeah, I wouldn't recommend that shit at all! lol. Hell, I didn't like listening to it with the lights on. lol
@@thrallsofmetal the singer dose not sound human at all he sounds like something from a different world man I don’t know how if got through and survived man never listening again fuck that
@@thrallsofmetal I think your right you know I think you meant to play this and the other album all at one once fuck that shit man that would be insane my friend dared me to do it in a pich black room I to him to go and fuck him self is he haveing a laugh screw that shit man he is insane but I recommend to him quickly suffocation’s 1991 release effigy of the forgotten and he told me about cryptopsys 1996 release no so vile and man what a fucking album come on slit your gut dead and dripping crown of horns phobaphile what a fucking crazy album man and by the way thanks for commenting man fell so lucky 🍀 anyway have a good rest of your day and love your guys videos keep it up 👍
You should review Dee Snider's new solo album Leave a Scar when it drops on July 30th.
Necrotic Nick- That's a possibility. I think Shred is interested in that one.
I heard the hype and pulled it up on my phone and realized, "hmmm.. yeah, i can't listen to this on my phone"... lol...
Yes!! Event horrizon!! I like that movie!.
Necrotic Nick- One of my favorite cult sci-fi/ horror flicks.
Great reaction! For me it's a very clear disappointment... it's not nearly as good as the other album...I've been into power electronics/death ambient/noise for more than 20 years and this album is not very original, sure it has the Portal signature, but in the genre I think it's not particularly remarkable or groundbreaking. Their brand of death metal is much more original and interesting. Anyways, anyone into this album should check out; Genocide Organ, Operation Cleansweep, Grey Wolves, Atrax Morgue, Mauthausen Orchestra, early Ramleh, Grunt, Bizarre Uproar...most of this stuff was out in the 90s so Portal is late to the game.
Necrotic Nick- Yeah, while I appreciate the levels they go to when it comes down to creeping people out but this is too much for me. The closest thing I've jammed to this one is Gnaw Their Tongues and I still can't get into that to be honest. Avow was definitely better.
I listened to this after listening to Avow for the umpteenth time since it dropped and loved it. I don’t get the feelings you guys got listening to it I just think it’s a amazing piece and is the acoustic companion to Avow’s plugged in experience. I love all their albums though and have never had a problem getting into them. I could also just be twisted lol. I am from Australia, Sydney not Brisbane.
I get it if you don’t like it though, I’m not a CZcams guy who will tell you to listen to something that you aren’t into 20 times and then you will get it. I don’t like Imperial Triumphant and people say they are amazing. I just can’t get into them.
Necrotic Nick- It's the classic "different strokes for different folks" thing. I'm just not that into this but I appreciate it for what it is and what they're trying to do. It's creeps me the fuck out but I think that's what they were shooting for here. There's still a lot of bands I have difficulty getting into out there but I'm willing to at least check them out and give my thoughts while telling people that while it may not be my favorite it may be yours.
I like them .. but i wouldn’t mind if there was more audio diversity.. contrast .. im not creeped out by it ..
there a lot of bands that trying to be heavy and evil, but most of the time it's doesn't work, but this stuff - really heavy and dark, after listening to Portal deathcore bands looks like kids
Necrotic Nick- I couldn't agree more, bro. This is flat out chilling stuff.
@@thrallsofmetal also, i think Hagbulbia by itself is not metal at all. dark ambient and noise scene has a lot similar stuff, not as evil and demonic, but sound very typical to these genres
