Released in 2009, Portals marked another creative leap forward for Arsonists Get All the Girls. Building on the chaos and experimentation that defined their earlier releases, the band delivered a more focused and sophisticated album without sacrificing the intensity and unpredictability that made them stand out.The songs weave together crushing riffs, intricate musicianship, dynamic songwriting, and atmospheric passages that add depth and dimension to the band's sound. Rather than relying solely on brute force, Portals balances aggression with composition, creating an album that rewards repeated listens and continues to resonate with fans years after it's release.This Brutal Planet Records edition enhances the album's clarity, power, and detail while preserving the energy and spirit of the original recording while also including ""Lost My Loss of Ruin (instrumental)"" as a bonus track. Portals remains one of the strongest entries in the Arsonists Get All the Girls catalog and a compelling example of how far the boundaries of deathcore and technical metal can be pushed.
