Riff mark: I kind of slighty sort of gave up
As if the principles of atonality couldn’t possibly be
broken any further in the damp catacombs of extreme metal, the defiance of
Australia’s Portal shatters the simple logics of 12-note chromatics, inventing
devil chords from 13th keys from guitars with double-digit strings.
Arguably the most horrific concoction, a primordial ooze shaped from
post-ejaculate Stravinsky ethics and Lovecraftian theatrics, set to the
orchestration of chaos theory and the absolute nonsensical steering of melodies
through twisted woods. Swarth is the
novelty of the lunatic, unknown transcriptions and etchings coded in what could
possibly be the origins of song, or the complete endings of such: a riddled Mobius
strip. Impossible to parallel to existing acts, but allow this mortal a shy
attempt: the acceleration of a Morbid Angel apocalypse? The catch: miserable
production accompanying miserable music. Tales of terror told through washing
machine cycles in a mid-range muffle. Perhaps for the best, as Swarth is a blackened book best open,
then immediately shut.
