Portal is basically what everyone thought Ghost was going to sound like in 2010.
Hell yeah I love both bands thanks to Phil Anselmo.
Lol Ghost 💩💩💩
Ghost sounds like Black Sabbath kids.
@@user-cv6st9wh7t not even that. they just sound like your average pop "metal" artist that makes commercial music for hbo shows
@@sephyowns ghost is metal, cope harder
I'm going full screen. Farewell , comrades.
+Luis Witcher
came back... holy fuck...
+Puppude lmao are you ok?
yes. Good recovery.
he died
good luck
Seems like elevator music for the ride down to hell.
that's amazing XD
Finally, a song worthy of playing for the first dance at my wedding...
lol
Play this shit at the church
Who the fuck would want to marry u?
goran ferenzia me
You are hilarious! LOL
I just spent 5:57 minutes without blinking
Finally! A good Christian band.
Jajaja
Haha yes
Simple ... honest ... epic \m/
Lol
I put this on my for kids as i put them to bed. They're so well rested they don't want to go to bed anymore
Portal sounds and feels like you took a whole bottle of benadryl and then got killed 50 times at once
Now that is horror
More like dx
Stfu
LOL
Benadryl just knocks me out haha
To understand Portal, you first must forget everything you know about music.
that my friend is as true a statement as there will EVER be!!!!!
its exciting sometimes to relearn!!!!
no... you just listen to black metal
that's not revolutionary
its very similar to sumac i believe
Dhieen Portal isnt black metal
I know this is a great band and I really mean it.. but when I read such comments where uniqueness is invoked, then I think to myself 'another dude who missed a lot of metal in his time'.
This is horrible. I love it.
Horrible music for horrible people , makes perfect sense ... greatest Death Metal band of the 00s by faaaaar .
lmao this isn't Death Metal
Isn't this deathened death black ? xD
@Andy Helms You're obviously right about that! Thanks for clearing it up :) Now I will drink the rest of the blood from the fridge....
@@hh4826 WRONG
When Phil Anselmo says you're the heaviest group on the planet, you're doing something right
When a Mayhem fan comes over and tells you that they are the most evil... show this
As a rabid Mayhem fan, I agree.
I've seen Mayhem 3 times and Portal once.
They do have one seriously evil album though: Ordo Ad Chao. Illuminate Eliminate is an atmospheric masterpiece.
Mayhem's history is evil in itself from church burnings to suicide and murder . Those facts would disagree with that . Music wise this is not more evil than say Ordo , Portal just put an evil video to it .
nah bro, deathcrush and chainsaw gutsfuck rules. mayhem and portal are two different types of art.
the oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown~h.p lovecraft
shut the FUCK up
@@oechikr why, exactly? lol
@@oechikr You had to edit that?
@@craigroaring 😂😂😂
Amen
A Walt Disney Production, lol
A FAMILY PICTURE ;)
The feel good movie of the year. ;D
Sponsored by Pharrell Williams....
Makes Morbid Angel sound like something outta the Teletubbies !
mercurion1000 Oh no you di'int
Almost a decade later, I still have not seen a creepier, more disturbing music video than this one. I legitimately think the addition of stage play elements was to brighten it up a bit so it wouldn't send every viewer into a psychotic episode. And all that without any graphic violence.
This is the darkest shit I've seen/heard. Whatever these guys are doing, it's working.
sVieira151 Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check it out :)
Sean Vieira ulcerate destroyers of all and vermis are incredible apocalyptic .....but it isnt cosmic horror is a dread existencial horror
The combination of ambient music and extreme metal is very unique. This video pure brilliance. More entertaining than any horror film I've seen since nekromantik
Thinking the same about Portal. this is like an abstraction of Death Metal genre.
I like to say A. Braxton is to jazz what Portal is to death.
How do you enjoy nekromantic and cannibal holocaust? I don't understand, is it just the shock factor you enjoy or what?
@@albatross7439 It's a rush
@@albatross7439 Nekromantik 2 > Nekromantik
VERY strong Voivod influence here. And it's brilliant.
wow, this makes Gorgorth sound like childrens music. These guys are Gods of darkness
*Gorgoroth
GaGgoroth*
Gorguts
Gorguts is great
*Gorgfotroth
This would scare Lovecraft almost as much as black people did.
@Toxic Potato you're lame
@Toxic Potato LOL don't get so butthurt
But not as much as people from southern Europe. Those were the real life Insmouthians.
@Mark Anthony Nice one, Clay Davis.
@@soldmysoultomanillaroad1555 how come?
"Out-out are the lights-out all!
And, over each quivering form,
The curtain, a funeral pall,
Comes down with the rush of a storm,
While the angels, all pallid and wan,
Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy, 'Man,'
And its hero, the Conqueror Worm."
I felt genuine joy when I behold that the "violins are being playied with bones" here.
Now that's good old-fashioned nightmare fuel!
I hate it when the Universe cuts my strings
I don't know who's more freaked out, the puppet or the eye overseeing the room. Lol
Can't believe I've never heard of this band in the 30 years I've been listening to metal. Absolutely stunning work. I love this band.
Not metal
@@nickyeayea7257 ?
@@TheGreenpig1 it's more ambient then it is metal per se. There's no riffs, verse, chorus, bridge, or melody lines it's just a cacophony of noise used to create a sonic experience. In ambient music atmosphere is more important then compositional structure, rhythm, or melodies.
@@billybobthekidiswack the structure of portal is greater then almost any band you could possibly name, there are INDEED riffs, riffs that are just incomprehensible to people like you, riffs that require precise and catastrophic amounts of intensity to write and preform. To undermine them as a band with “no riffs” is absolutely ridiculous, Portal are one of the more structured and layered bands there is.
@toriiVII I'd disagree with your first statement and say Portal's song structure isn't up to par to bands like Ad Nauseam, Gorguts, ulcerate, Blut aus nord, or Nero di marte. Go ahead and hum a portal "riff" I'll wait. I understand what they're going for and they do it well but there music just doesn't click with me. If you have an album from them you like to recommend I'll check it out.
I listened to three Portal songs at the same time. I am now dead.
now this is adorable
got stoned last night and watched this, it legitimately terrified me. fuck yeah.
Jesus, i thought the stuff i listened to was Dark...
don't worry man, we all thought the same
Not long ago I learned that nothing is more dark than Portal. Their music is pure evil.
I call it Sauron metal.
oldschoolcuc Listen to Aevangelist.
***** Damn! Thanks man, sounds fucking awesome. It isn't so fucked up as Portal for me, but still pretty dark and evil :).
Portal, death metal mastery.
This video is just as dark and distinct as Portal sounds
i would love to see more videos like this. i remember being a kid in the 90s and seeing Tool videos on MTV and just feeling so scared and unsettled, but left wanting MORE. this takes me back to that. very cool.
Will Hyde I know this is ancient, but that is so fucking spot on, I feel the exact same. Also, I had very similar 90s kid experiences seeing Tool vids on mtv! I’ll bever forget the first time I saw the videos for “Sober” and “Ænima”... that was basically the beginning of my love for “dark” music and art, in general, though I don’t think I actually realized it till now, reading your comment and being transported back to childhood..
Those Tool videos were mind-blowing... & today I am reminded of that experience-- "Curtains" is 1 freaky clip! 🦃😈🦃😈🦃😈
Most Tool videos are total rip off of brothers Quay work,so if you like these kind of videos/films you should check their work.
Hahahahah tool it's Barney the dinosaur,compared with PORTAL 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
check out some Sopor Aeternus videos ... or Blasphemian by Infant Annihilator
This is the coolest fucking thing I've seen or heard in a long time. It's chilling- these are people and artists at the height of the scene they wanted to inhabit- it's inspiring!
I understand those who do not dig the music of Portal but i respect all of you who even though dont dig this style are aware at how talented these guys really are
This is genuinely disturbing. I love how so many black metal bands try so hard to be all "evil and satanic" and it ends up sounding like shit recorded in a closet, and when these guys do it it legitimately sounds evil lol
This stuff would scare the shit out of a thousand church burners.
its not black metal lmao
@@ddd-gh6fz OP never said it was.
Scarry, evil Lmfao same shit like the rest of bands that try it.
This sounds like justin beiber to me
Note to self.....NEVER smoke a joint before watching the porthole videos ever again..😳
I'm here again because this is just how I feel
I can't think of another music video that captures a song so perfectly
Check out the music video for A Forest of Stars - Gatherer of the Pure (psychedelic black metal band)
Try Obscure By Dir en Grey
This is legit a fucking scary music video.
Some shots really trigger an uncomfortable feeling even though they are quite subtle but super surreal.
The overall 70 mm-film panorama aesthetic was a brilliant idea, too.
All in all 100 Points for the creative department, the director, the whole crew!
Just when I thought underground metal would never smell fresh again
This is just simply beautiful. The Art director is just a genius, I don't know what else to say
this is a fantastic video. very impressive.
the scariest music video of all time
Extreme blackened death metal is what I call this!
There’s something about being able to make a band based on lore, theology and physics feel genuine. Maybe I’m jaded but “image” bands lack the foundation and framework these days. This is either so incredibly thought out or pulled directly from the dark ether but either way, I’m into it
good music to listen while reading HP Lovecraft
+Azathoth When people ask my what Portal are like, I always answer "Imagine if HP Lovecraft and Salvador Dali had started a death metal band together."
+Einar Friðgeirs and had Trey azagthoth arriving from some time travel experiment ,all messed up/enlightned from the experience , ready to pick a 7 stringer up asap
This banda is a shit , the voice , nothing technical!
it a a sacrilege speak with Lovecraft!!
@@fernandopena705 Viejo, está banda no es para todos. Incluso para muchos metaleros les resulta difícil escucharlo.
Insisto esta banda carece completamente de tecnica, solo es ruido saturado , hasta me resulta mas agradable escuchar Black metal que esta Mierda si se le puede llamar musica!!!
They need to put this in a really gritty horror. It's such a claustrophobic song....if that makes sense. It would be so good in a weird indie movie
The Portal out here making Cradle of Filth sound like Hanson
This is the darkest shit I've ever heard in my life.
...and I've heard some dark shit.
I found this by accident while lookin' up H.P. Lovecraft, which the band have previously used as subject matter. Cool video, fits Poe's poem nicely. The music's apparently chaotic but it demands to be listened. Glad I checked them out. Cheers!
Update: I'm officially a fan now! :D
It's interesting that apparently from what the band has said publicly, they meticulously produce these songs like actually paying attention to every little detail and song structure.
If you get into it , only in the beginning it seems more chaotic than it actually is. There is a system in this darkness
@@freaktemple are they Luciferain or just normal people lol. The lyrics are some weird words I never heard of.
@@MRSludgedude their lyrics are a mix of cosmic horror, their own "Portal" lore, and Edgar Allen Poe's writings. It's meant to be somewhat cryptic, but using context clues, one can get the main idea of their songs. Also most of the vocabulary isn't difficult to understand, just very uncommon in normal conversation.
I have a chest freezer full of assorted body parts. This is the perfect music to listen to while enjoying a nice bicep roast and sitting in the dark.
Ya don't happen to have a spare right arm you can part with do ya?
I've got everything but that peice.
Oh ya, I need a head also if ya got an extra one. The one I got has no teeth!.......Ya know, (dental records)
Easy way to get caught!!!😉
It makes me feel like I`m trapped in cellar nested by thousands of giant centipedes
If someone unfamiliar with heavy metal asks me what it's all about, I send them this video, and then tell that person that this is what regular bands look and sound like.
That's so edgy of u
This has to be one of the best music videos ever. period. Amazing and challenging band that gets more and more interesting upon repeated listening.
This video is amazing! The costumes, the set designs, the editing. Wow! I've never experienced such a journey in a music video. I love it!
Definitely the scariest work in metal history. Gives me the creeps listening to it in the dark after midnight haha 😝
I just found out about this band, watched all the videos I can find. I like them. I think their trying to summon the old one's.
I think they're some type of old one. The curator must be the physical form of time. He can take the form of a priest, a wich, and other being from différent time. When he isn't time Itself, with the clockhead
The video is brilliant
you are
+Viktor Sz Nah she ain't
+Houston from houston You are right
+Luna for what its worth my gf thinks you're cute
Portal has opened a new dimension in horror. This masterpiece is so filled with poetry.
Abyssal, Portal and Abruptum, can't go wrong with these
One of the most beautiful music videos I've ever watched. Portal is so fucking good at their portrayal of absolute horror and terror.
When your video is scarier than any movie that's come out in years.
Great music. That film reminds me of The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligiri. This is a great production with with a vision and a true eye (no pun intended) for craftsmanship. Haunting and Terrible yet... dare I say it? Beautiful.
God that deep tone at 4:00 min is unreal. So fkn heavy. Doom game needs this band lol
If there was a horror video game featuring this band I'd both instantly buy it, and poop my pants playing it
This is the kind of music you listen to while eating the flesh of your freshly killed loved one.
or Drinking a cold Dr pepper
This is my cleaning my teeth track.
josh Cline FUCK YOU WEIRDO
Always better to eat the putrefied maggot infested flesh - the music will also roll with it.
The background music while you make a golem from grave wax and hair.
I like to label portal as DOOMED METAL
my cock is rock
With The Curator's old costume it was more like "Clock Rock"...
Houston from houston doomed grind punk metal psychedelia
I FUCKING LOVE THAT CURATOR WITH THAT BIRDBOX ON HIS HEAD... IT'S THE PORTAL TOWARDS ABYSSAL PLACE.
See that? That's what horror movies should look like
this is not music. this is art.
This is a masterpiece
Thats one disturbingly creepy mask! Reminds me of the Michael Myers mask in Halloween. Only 20 times creepier! I gotta get one!!!
All jokes aside this is probably the best music video I’ve ever seen.
for those of you uncapable of metaphorically "connecting the dots" the end is near, Portal adapted a real black masterpiece.
They take a lot from blink 182 and limp Bizkit in their sound!
Very accurate assessment :D
they have guitars and drums so pretty close
I agree. I hear alot of "Nookie" in this track.
Gotta say I listen to all three bands if that means anything
Are you fucking high?!?!
Very rarely are bands able to successfully convey a certain atmosphere that matches both song-writing and looks / stage presence. Usually they'll have one without the other (Ghost B.C. comes to mind). Portal is one of those rare examples of attaining both successfully. Shit is downright scary.
Ghost fucking stole Portals theatrics... hence why Portal don’t play live anymore, they hate all the copycats.
The feel good hit of the summer!
I taught this to the kids at vacation Bible school. Did not go over very well.
Note to self: Never watch a new bands video at midnight.
woah some trippy stuff. a huge dark atmosphere in this, though, been a good while since I've listened to any extreme metal that I've found a bit unsettling.
Wonderful music for the whole family ❤
While Portal have their points, anyone who thinks they're the most intimidating musical act of all time never saw Neurosis in the late 90's.
Can you provide link to example. I've heard Neurosis and the darkest thing i've heard from them is Lost, but mainly because of the clip with scenes from the movie "Begotten". It's grim and nihilistic but i wouldn't describe the music itself as horrific.
Saw them in 93ish..Neurosis is heavy af live..all Hail Neurosis Hail🔥
i saw them in the 90's...it wasn't this
Neurosis is intimidating but not nearly as horrific and cerebral as portal are. Portal genuinely feels like a supernatural entity at times despite most passive listeners chocking them up as “that creepy band” which is undermining their work too much, it’s silly to assume that portal’s just creepy and nothing more. Portal ranks among the greats like deathspell omega, ulcerate and vitriol simply for how extreme their concepts become in their minds, how their thoughts are the contents for their music to conduct into fruition, eliciting nearly paranormal energies with their art. I mean that so seriously, not necessarily in a “magical” sort of way but through a more inhuman connotation. It just doesn’t feel real what they guys have managed to create with their song craft. It’s not only impressive but just downright imposing and menacing.
@@InveterateMendaciousness Neurosis doesn't need theatrics to be terrifying.
listen to it in the dark on a decent audio installation...its a void
Portal sounds exactly the way they look like they sound. That's pretty neat. And also viscerally upsetting.
Kind of sick of people hating on this band like…
Does anyone sound even close to what these guys sound like?
No
It’s not for you then piss off
This stuff if you actually put in the effort to know what they’re about it’s scary as hell
They’re above metal above silly gimmick
This band is original as fuck and metal all around needs to take notice because it takes one click to watch them play live and holy shit they’re all over the fretboard every single one of them!
Absolutely Brilliant!!!
The people responding to Shred Master Scott's request to name the most evil band on earth sent me here.
I still dont feel like I was properly warned.
Happy music for happy people 😊
How to scare the shit out of your country ass friends: introduce them to Portal.
that crowd is so dead, I'd be head banging so hard
Terrifyingly beautiful 🖤🤘
This is exactly what hell would sound like
Holy Shaye Saint John fever dream batman... I approve 😁
AMAZING! An absolute worldclass piece of Aussie art. Superb. You guys make me proud!
Holy fuck, what did I just watch? This is cool as hell.
Brilliant clip 👍
Finally, some sleeping music.
Lol I was looking for the game. Guess I got something else entirely. :(
Lucky you.
And I was looking for the band and found a bunch of videos from the game. '-'
You will never be the same
You found something better.
I'm in spaaaaaace
I watched this video while peaking on shrooms. It was by far the best experience. Everything in this video is psychedelic-worthy. From the decrepit darkness from the video, to the actual music itself.
im not quite sure what i expected when i heard of this band but HOLY SHIT I LOVE IT
This is so fucking dope. Mother fucking Hollywood needs to hire these guys to make a decent horror movie.
I've been a big fan of death/black metal for a very long time, listening to some of the most brutal and darkest music, nothing I've listened to before can be compared to these guys, this is the first band to actually terrify me, they're a darkness I can only describe as abyss-ful, something you can't escape
Portal is by far the scariest, heaviest, and most darkest band on the planet all at the same time
