    "Formulas fatal to the flesh" and "Gateways to annihilation" are key albums to understand Portal. They opened a path and Portal followed it. Astonishing guitarwork vision... Horror Illogium, guitar master!!

      Indeed, specially ´Formulas to the Flesh` . Having said this I find myself enjoying Portal more than I do Morbid Angel . They just delved deeper into that ´portal` you mentioned ... it´s horrifying and unintelligible to the trendy , uninitiated masses ... and that spells - ´great !` - in my books .

      @@saraivatoledo1842 Yeah, that´s it. I´d love a Morbid Angel reborn like the Gorguts new era, with Luc Lemay wearing Portal and Deathspell Omega T-shirts, and a long song like Pleiades´Dust. Trey is still a terrific guitar player!!! Horror Illogium is the new Azagthoth for me.

      @@ricardojimenez8650 Mate, being old enough to have attended Morbid Angel concerts since their ´Formulas fatal to the flesh ` era ( arguably at their peak imho ) ...I´m telling you, Morbid Angel circa that era was surreal , I couldn´t believe these little interludes Trey would come up with in songs like Chapel of ghouls - you know when you´re watching something and you lose all perspective of what you´re witnessing ? That was the feeling of seeing Morbid Angel back in that era with Vader opening and Enthroned ... what a concert that was ... Peter Sandoval was also surreal , the only parallel I can find was when I saw Mick Harris playing with Painkiller circa their ´ Buried secrets ` Ep .
      With age comes a lot of bs which unables you to attend everything you wish to , I´ve never seen Portal live , but I will , no worries . Guess you´ve been fortunate enough to have seen them live circa ´Outre ` or some other album , that just happens to be my favourite . That is probably the Death Metal album of all time to me along with ´Altars of Madness ` .

      @@baerereavsorg Absolutely ... Painkiller circa ´Buried Secrets ` was like imagining you had never heard anything the band put out and proceed to get blown away by the most alien , tight music you couldn´t even make up .
      Yeah, they improvised the entire set , save for , check this out : room was with a degree of tension hardly felt at any concert I´ve ever been to - you had the Jazz nerd middle aged types, you had the grumpy looking Earache metal heads , the trendies and a bunch of nerds ... well , we were just a dozen of Punk Metal kids with a ´Ripping Headaches ` attitude - wasn´t even a conscious thing : the fact that we were there to cause a bunch of chaos , give the band as much as we took sort of thing .
      Soon as the craziness started there were a a few of us flying , pushing others , causing a nuisance basically ... soon the suspicious Metal guys felt at ease to join us . Pretty funny actually , one kid came up to me and went : ´mate, you mind me joining you guys ? ` with a smirk from ear to ear ... not long after there was a pretty chaotic circle in the audience ... Mick Harris jumps from his drum set , comes and shoves a mic in his mouth : ´next one´s dedicated to this crazy lot ` , pointing at us , isolated in the middle , cause the jazz dudes, music nerds and women all chose not to partake in what was going on in ´our area ` - song was ´Handjob ` - the only recognizable song from the whole set .
      Musically it was unbelievable , you can imagine those 3 guys in the early/mid 90s - Bill Laswell was the one who impressed me the most , maybe cause I played bass in a band at the time - the way he went from that unique dub sound to complete fuzzy grind and keeping those lines extremely inspired/ing for an entire improvised set . Also his technic was weird af to me , I had never seen such a pro , it even left me doubting what instrument I was playing at the time , if that was what a bass was capable of sounding like Yeah man , I apologise for the book , zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz , if you reached this far , just brings back memories from those days which are very special to me ... already comparing that to Naked City with a young unanounced Mike Patton a few years prior to that one : -)
