Portal - "Larvae"

[@motig79]

sounds like my old car trying to get started on a cold winter day

[@ratpoisoner666]

I love the harmonies in this.

[@SjamesS]

Everytime I listen to Portal, I think my brain turns upside down and I can only see giant swarms of insects in my head. Beautiful stuff! |m|

[@TheAndrewsterner]

Wow....I've never listened to music and thought "that's just fucking scary." These guys have done something really impressive here.....wow.

[@TallGraham]

What you are listening to is unique and pioneering in exteme metal,after giving up with over produced technical death metal for 2 years now,this has rekindled my faith that there are people out there who REALLy push the boundries. Awsome

[@Skyless0rebirth]

This just fucked up my day... They're awesome.

[@goldenworm]

A band to give Nile some competition, and yes I am really stoned.

[@ipnorospo38]

Chuck Norris' favorite lullaby.

[@theholygoatable]

Wasn't sure about this one until i hit the 3 minute mark - that last bit was worth the wait!

[@Araqnydd]

It's like some sort of Eldritch Horror from beyond time, space, and existance whispering forgotten words of madness into your ear.

[@babanguida]

finest blackened death metal band!!!

[@CosmosAeternvm]

Doesn't get any better than this, aside from that sinister Impetuous Ritual debut.

[@islespatrick]

this is amazing

[@Grakkis]

Incredible aura. Very hard to get into, but very awesome once you do.

[@AFMacker]

@GodlessAeon that's for sure, man... you have just to listen to the album at least 3 or 4 times and then you'll begin to understand it.

[@LarsYenin]

god this band is too good.

[@Sion_Revan]

I've had the album since 13th of september. i met there guitarist at cannibal corpse in brisbane and hung with him and he gave me Outre as a gift. it is downright scary, as though it is slowly killing you.

[@Sion_Revan]

@associate39 The few hours i spent with their rthym guitarist were undoubtably the creepiest i've ever spent in anyones company, but his eight string was the most awesome specimen i've ever seen. Pure beast of darkness.

[@S0unDOfCha0S]

incredible.

[@esb82593]

wow never heard of em til now. i can definitely see that

[@goldenworm]

holy shiiiiit, hail the new kings

[@harrr5427]

damn i really going to buy this album!

[@goatambush]

I haven't heard any music in a long time that sounded so out of this world (sorry for my lack of a better metaphor). It's actually a little frightening but the song swarth definitely sounds more chaotic and bewildering to me.

[@metalgtrfreak]

@CodyRicheson That piece makes you feel like something horrible is standing over your shoulder during the daytime... I'm terrified to listen to it in the dark.

[@NymphTheDanube]

~ Portal's tracks are the Big Bang's Original soundtrack and true coffee grains to clean the senses from the plain and ordinary ~

[@mikebott6940]

then i'm one of the damned too... considering how much i listen to 'em, and that i find a lot of "outre" rather soothing...

[@SolvingOurKreation]

Inspirational.

[@EdgeStormcrow]

Seen em live.. It was like watching a david lynch film in a sand storm.

[@islespatrick]

this band frightens me

[@Psykonaut_DXM]

2:46 onward is pure Immolation Worship Absolute Genius

[@KokoRicky]

@Beenyad, ah my mistake. Be sure to check out Gnaw Their Tongues, Nurse With Wound and The Residents for more disturbing music.

[@Randinator]

I can appreciate lots of music and this is... Well... Pretty interesting.

[@Romencer17]

@WilliamofMunich It's simply an experimental mixture of atmospheric black metal and atmospheric death metal.

[@esb82593]

that part at 1:36 is just so....crunchy. pretty sick i must say

[@CornadaTV]

Don't know wtf I just listened to but I enjoyed it quite a bit.

[@XxMinatoNamikazexX]

@LordRumpusaurus I never said they weren't, it's just more hipster accessible.

[@mandalay71]

They will be at Maryland Deathfest in May 2010!!! Be there!!!

[@sec0f111]

pure hellish disorienting chaos.

[@Seamus616]

in all its chaos, there is great coherence, which musta taken a shiteload a' skill.

[@MrXavier0899]

This is How Moddern black metal should sound like in my opinion

[@rohitchaoji]

Then you should, in that case. Chaotic as hell!

[@polyrhythmatics]

Great stuff

[@Gymnopedie55]

@MacRocks713 It does have a sort of ambient vibe to it, albeit like nothing else I have ever heard.

[@sheps999]

Woops, funneled this song into my keyboard for a second there

[@MrRobsworld6]

It establishes an atmosphere that is difficult to capture with music. Definitely not for everyone.

[@marwutz]

3:20 is just sublime

[@Beenyad]

@CodyRicheson Oh no, no you have me mistaken. See I meant that no song is scarier than "Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima". No but this is really a good song. Probably the 2nd scariest band next to Godflesh.

[@KokoRicky]

@Caconymic, the only thing scarier is the Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima. I would suggest listening to it. You can find it on KZbin.

[@madderbass]

@marwutz Hmm... I never thought of comparing this to Arvo Pärt at all... interesting.

[@squizz222]

@KramLlessur Yeah, seriously. Most metalheads think eclectic taste means listening to both death metal and black metal.

[@matteodh]

THIS is "TOO EXTREME"

[@RogueAndroid]

@esb82593 If i had any food in my mouth while reading your comment, i would be cleaning my screen before typing my reply. No flowing blasts in Black Metal? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? If you have never heard flowing blasts in Black Metal, then you didn`t hear alot of Black Metal to begin with.

[@EdgeStormcrow]

never heard drums played this scarily before.. usually guys focus on flash and speed, its like horror drumming.

[@thychaos]

@GodlessAeon im pretty sure theyre going for a sound of pure insanity and dread.

[@XxMinatoNamikazexX]

@chompskyhomp I'm pretty sure hipsters don't like Blackened Tech Death, they seem to tend more towards stuff like Alcest.

[@sashalyons7909]

I actually don't mind this :) thumbs up~!

[@Beenyad]

@CodyRicheson no nothing is scarier than that song man

[@MacRocks713]

Is it bad that this music calms me down?

[@MessedOrc]

Cthulhu jams to this song.

[@esb82593]

@RogueAndroid ive heard quite a bit actually

[@mauq4]

fuck yes this song is great

[@Prometheus1111]

@Dinuhimself but, it's a very talented washing machine. it's kinda like enjoying the sound of a diesel engine.

[@GodlessAeon]

I'm not sure what kind of sound they're trying to cultivate here....maybe I'm not high enough.

[@hadasui02]

Impact since celtic frost

[@KokoRicky]

@Beenyad, bands. While you're at it, Schoenberg's early is pretty disturbing, as is the doom/death/noise band Khanate.

[@associate39]

@batmanlookalikewiner ...What did you communicate about?

[@L2HB]

@Caconymic Have you tried Scott Walker's album "The Drift"?

[@MoOsHw]

Touche.

[@Doctagon1]

Beautiful Band. there music sounds like a huge fucking storm. Gusts of wind picking up houses and tossing them at you

[@Watchmaker312]

@MattBrien Seconding The Axis of Perdition, great band.

[@MrNovastyle]

I wanna hear this song when i die =]

[@Wulfgod1349]

Y'ain't the only one, bub...

[@rohitchaoji]

Am I the only one who hears an immense amount of influence taken from Norway's Molested?

[@rsman169]

@Watchmaker312 How the fuck can you diss Necrophagist? One of the most solid bands live, and in studio.

[@brainscorcher666]

I feel the same :P

[@Beenyad]

@CodyRicheson Bands I assume? Or albums?

[@LORDGOAT1976]

It's called 8 String Ibanez Guitars

[@WilliamofMunich]

@Metalheadyup Well they certainly SOUND blacker than many black metal bands. :D With Portal, it seems that Death metal and Black metal have become enmeshed as a result of some head-on collision. Out of the twisted wreckage has emerged the mutilated, psychologically scarred remains of an as yet undefined species of metal, transcending all others. Or not!!! They have grown on me since my initial post, but I like 'Black Houses' better.

[@MattBrien]

@666flame666 Hey man, ever heard The Axis Of Perdition?

[@peopleispoep]

Blackened Deathmetal ftw

[@SycamoreHill14]

@belphegor79 Oh, God, as soon as I read you're original comment and then posted mine, I checked my playlist. Yeah, I gave my sister my itouch and she is using my KZbin account and made her own playlist. Did you see what was number 1, that should have given it away. I took care of that asap...

[@MorbidPuppy]

Probably the most demented sounding band I've ever heard, I LOVE IT!

[@belphegor79]

@SycamoreHill14 Yesterday you had Lil' Wayne on your favorites... are you no longer a fan?

[@12Gates.]

@MacRocks713 nah dude. double bass lulls me to sleep

[@XxMinatoNamikazexX]

@godica333 Turn your volume up then.

[@AFcunningham]

just wrote that this sounds like blut aus nord. then i saw your comment.

[@hatecrew77]

kind of didn't suspect you as a possible fan from the name

[@esb82593]

@ricklieffering i agree. i love the music, but the drums are just your stereotypical black metal drums, where the blasting doesnt flow at all

[@SycamoreHill14]

@belphegor79 What?

[@Profanum]

fucking suicidal mad album

[@marwutz]

I know a genre this music fits in: Tintinnabuli

[@alt9001]

The drums at 1:05 sound like my washing machine.

[@Dionysius8421]

I feel like I have been raped in the soul. I feel unclean. Damn you, Portal, damn you and your music! (I like this.)

[@VileMartin]

what is he singing about i looked up the lyrics i have no idea what the words mean?

[@TTheDDoctor]

This "Portal" is way better than the video game! :D

[@KokoRicky]

@Beenyad, if you're going to try to tell me that this (a great song actually) is scarier than "Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima," you're a damned fool. Listen to that piece and try to tell me that this is more horrific.

[@associate39]

@batmanlookalikewiner ...if that is true and im not doubting you. you are a fortunate being

[@soadratmetc]

I can't decide if I like this or if I think it's ridiculously bad!!!

[@dakotamanomgwtf]

@motig79 Hahaha agreed

[@possibleninja]

This sounds nothing like Blut Aus Nord on the grounds that this doesn't suck.
