Portal 7: Demo 21 / Cápsula Mar (2004)



This is why I like the Internet so much: You find artists and songs you would never have found otherwise. This especially true for demos. In 2004 I found some catchy songs of a Gothic Metal band from Uruguay Portal 7. Though the sound is pretty much demo-type they showed some great ideas ranging from Gothic to more experimental metal.

Track listing:
  1. 21 (3:31)
  2. Portal (4:17)
  3. Cápsula Mar (2:49)
  4. Ashes to Ashes (3:40)
  5. Anymore (live) (3:46)
Unfortunately, the band disappeared around the same time and we will probably never see those ideas realized on a regular record :( but who knows the myspace profile is still active!

  1. Hey! Geez! This is actually my boyfriend's former band!
    They disbanded in 2007 and went their separate ways, just before putting out their first LP, due to personal issues.

    Nowadays he has put an electro-rock act called Coral, where I play the keyboards and do the backing vocals.

    The guitarist plays nowadays in a thrash metal band called "Eclampsy"
