PORTAL is a twisted vision, with a multitude of horror scapes seen through a distorted lens of filth.

Elaborate darkness weaved into masses of Death Metal in its own antiquity of sonic violence and perpetuating the mythos self-created. The henchmen within this brood pledge to open up it’s gates to feed upon mortal terror, a duty to destroy the senses and sanity.

Preceding the aural trepidation is Switzerland’s BØLZER. An intuitive art project born from raw passion; musical ecstasy fueled by impulsive composition and enactment. BØLZER describe their own stage experience as a form of spiritual rapture, an atavis-tic vortex woven together from the profound union of spectacle meeting spectator on a deeper plane.
