Scary Metal
Der Golem:
I wanted to make a thread about Portal, but decided it would be more fun to talk about all sorts of Scary Metal. Scary music in general even? I'll start this off by giving you the scoop on the Australian death metal band Portal, but please chime in and pimp your own preferred bands.
Anyways, Portal.
These guys have some wierd vintage horror thing going, that is apparant in not only in their promo shoots and lyrics, but stage performance (they perform as they are dressed in the above picture) and even the sound of the studio albums. They record everything themselves, and throughout their entire career they have been honing this truly messed up sound that does not sound brutal at all, but noisy, old and cobwebbed. For example, on their second full-length, Outré, they recorded the drums with one mic, to make the cymbals all indistinguishable. They just released their third LP, titled Swarth. And now it is youtube video time.
Live performance of Glumurphonel, off their first album, Seepia. This is them at their most tech-death.
Black Houses, off their second album, Outré, which is their most ritualistic and, arguably, bizarre work.
Finally, off their latest release, Swarth, which is a comprimise between their earlier two releases, and has already been dubbed their best by some, Larvae
Edit; So apparantly I failed to embed the youtube videos, making the layout of this thread a bit less impressive. Here's hoping you will click some links.

Scary as in their image or scary as in the music sounds scary?
If you're talking scary image, may I present to you.... Occult Rock band from Italy, JACULA

Der Golem:
Just finished the song you linked, that was excellent. Very retro and occult. When was this released?
Be My Head:
Well they have two albums, and according to wikipedia "In Cauda Semper Stat Venenum in 1969, which has a superposition of an organ, piano and other sound effects, and Tardo Pede In Magiam Versus in 1973,"
You can grab their debut album here
There's some dispute as to whether it really is that old, but that doesn't mean it isn't completely badass all the same.
Der Golem:
Thanks, I will. And I was just curious to see if it was from that era, if the retro feel was authentic, if you will.
