Ion is the long-awaited follow-up to 2013's Vexovoid. This is the band's most intense and experimental release to date, an album not for the faint of heart and\/or mind. Portal's style is an unorthodox fusion of death metal with black metal. The band's hybrid musical style is characterized by heavily distorted guitar riffs, down-tuned rhythms, and vocals ranging from \"menacing, echoing\" sound effects to guttural grunts. Lead guitarist Horror Illogium has described Portal's intent as \"to capture a cinematic horror scope\". The band cites as inspiration for it's lyrical themes the entities mentioned in Lovecraft Mythos, such as Nyarlathotep, Yog-Sothoth, Azathoth, and Cthulhu.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 NTH \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Esp Ion Age \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Husk \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Phreqs \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Crone \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Revault of Volts \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Spores \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Phathom \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Olde Guarde\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Portal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32077839335495,"sku":"35569800","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3752405.jpg?v=1747790596","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/portal-ion","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
