Australia's Portal on The New Brutality: 'We don't feel as though this form of Death Metal has reached its greatest potential yet'...

Portal explores extremes. Could such exploration lead beyond metal, as there is much music more “extreme” than metal?

Portal explores depth and atmosphere in the aim of a descriptive soundscape. The term “extreme” would not really apply to us in the context that other bands would use: the fastest blastbeat or the most technical guitar work. That kind of mindframe as though it is a sport is sickening! Extreme for the sake of extreme in any regard has no place in our art. The feeling must flow, exploring different planes of darkness and atmosphere. There is no interest in taking the main core of Portal beyond Metal at all. In fact, we don’t feel as though this form of Death Metal has reached its greatest potential yet.
