    Metal goes pop... Where do YOU draw the line?

    I think you have every right to be uncomfortable. I think lines should be drawn, and very frequently. I'm a very open-minded person musically, but open-mindedness can go horribly wrong without correctly crafted taste. That's how shitty music is made, bands that don't know exactly what sound they...

    Sleep to music

    Boards of Canada is absolutely perfect for sleep. Perfect for anything, really.

    The Greatest Musicians your Area has to Offer

    Decrepit Birth, Odious Mortem and Braindrill are all literally from my hometown. I could probably go smoke one with Decrepit right now if I really wanted to, they're really chill dudes. My buddy used to get guitar lessons from their drummer, and my other friend used to get drum lessons from...

    Portal (the death metal band, now with actual riffs!)

    Pay extra attention to the riff from 1:00-1:34 and tell me that isn't the sickest riff on the fucking planet. Seriously, if I had written that riff I could die a happy man. Cheers Illogium.

    Portal (the death metal band, now with actual riffs!)

    I'd much rather it have a low-fi gritty style of recording than be over-produced and pro-tooled to shit. I HATE stuff like that.

    I don't think they use effects, they just pick REALLY fast.

    I love that picture, here's another favorite. Oldschool.

    Gooood. I know I've said this like a million times, but definitely get Seepia, you'll love it. Wizard hat, or grandfather clock?

    Portal (the death metal band, now with actual riffs!)

    Yeah dude! That part is SO heavy, I bob my head every time. Is this your first album of theirs? I agree 100%. That's why I have such a deep passion for Black Metal. You have to train your ears before you can even really hear what's going on, but once you understand it's pure bliss. I love...

    Portal (the death metal band, now with actual riffs!)

    Good enough. :p Werships is so sick, is was on an older EP of theirs but they slowed it down and made it way heavier. Is this your first album of theirs?

    Portal (the death metal band, now with actual riffs!)

    That's a perfect way to describe them, there's certainly Ambient Black in the mix, which I approve of greatly. Glad it's at least sinking in a bit though, most people just don't care. Larvae's another favorite, the boom at 1:55 is one of the sickest things I've ever heard. :yesway:

    Portal (the death metal band, now with actual riffs!)

    Writhen's probably my favorite track. I actually didn't really like the album my first listen, but by my second I was hooked. Give it a few tries, and if it doesn't work, oh well. :p

    Which ones did you get? And how many times have you listened?

    Portal (the death metal band, now with actual riffs!)

    I disagree, Seepia and Outre differ greatly. Swarth and Outre are pretty similar, but I like Swarth a lot more. If you can manage to get your hands on The Sweyy EP, that album has 2 incredible songs on it (which are on Swarth, but they're different renditions of the songs). I would recommend...

    Portal (the death metal band, now with actual riffs!)

    Although the technique isn't the focus, it's fucking RIDICULOUS. It's by far the most complicated riffing I've ever heard, considering they play it exactly the same live. It's completely impossible to imitate, and fucking slays all the other Tech Death bullshit.

    Do you mean figure out what they mean, or what they are? If you mean the latter, you're in luck! All of them are on metal-archives.com, Seepia's are some of the best lyrics I've ever read.

    And the more you listen the more you figure out, it's really rewarding.
