It’s that
time of year again; Halloween. If you’re here in Ireland, that doesn’t just
mean dressing up, pumpkins and trick or treaters, but also little scrotes
letting off illegal fireworks in the wee hours of the morning and if you’re
really unfortunate, have a lit one thrown at while walking through Dublin city
centre at 9pm one evening. It happens.
But what Halloween really means is a
time for all of us to explore the darker side of everything in life, from films to books to of course… music. Australia’s Portal are a band that simply sound
fucking evil, as edified by 2009’s Swarth album, an absolutely devastating
piece of murky, malevolent death metal. They’re a more than appropriate band to
kick off Days of Halloween.
