PORTAL - SEPIA

No idea who these guys are but their CDs seem to appear at various Astriaal gigs, hailing from somewhere in Queensland they play a crushing Death metal that can only be compared to a cross between Bestial Warlust, Abominator and Sadistik Exekution. Relentless drumming, buzz-saw guitars and fiendish vocals, this is raw and uncompromising in production and delivery.Only for hardened death fiends. The lyrics are extremely cryptic (perhaps dreamlike sequences of some occult horror crossing through the gates into our world?) They make little sense when read as words, but when accompanied by the music seem to invoke some very strange images, definitely food for deeper thought, and best left to the listener to get what they will out of it. I for one quite like this style of death metal and will revel in its obscurity, but it will never be something for the masses.

If you want to contact them go to their website HERE or write to them at BOX 27, Underwood QLD 4119, Australia. Maybe they will play the Rock Ape some time.
