TOWN PORTAL
TOWN PORTAL is an instrumental experimental post/math rock/metal band from Copenhagen, Denmark, formed in 2009 from members of SHELFLIFE (among them guitarists Christian ANKERSTJERNE and Jeppe NIELSSON and bass player Morten NIELSEN) that was active in 2007-2008.
The band has been taking different shapes and sizes since then and started playing live in April 2010 in Denmark, also setting off on a mini European tour the same year. In September 2011, they released their debut EP "Vacuum Horror" with the following line-up: Malik Breuer BISTRUP (drums), Morten Ogstrup NIELSEN (bass), Christian Henrik ANKERSTJERNE (guitar) and Jeppe Lillegaard NIELSSON (guitar).
Since late 2011 the band continues as a trio without NIELSSON and plans a European tour in early 2012.
Band members come from different musical backgrounds but they cite MESHUGGAH as one of their common influences (mainly in the rhythm and groove construction) and they should appeal to fans of unconventional math/post rock/metal.
The band's melodic tendencies recall SCALE THE SUMMIT's adventurous use of jazz scales in a metal riffing atmosphere, and the sludge/post metal riffing style is reminiscent of PELICAN's heavy sound as well.
