WILL BE UPDATED SOON ...
Portall started in February 2003. Rutger, Jeroen and Jeffrey already played together in a studio in Zwolle. When their second guitarist decided to quit, they approached Peter Haverkamp to join the band. After the first rehearsal it was clear that Portalls primair music taste was a lot more different from the style the three guys used to play. They decided to throw away the old material and started writing new songs, which would become a lot heavier and intense.
In April 2003 the first demo was recorded and the first shows followed in the months after. Because there was a lot of material a second demo was recorded in October, but according to the band members both demo's weren't representative for what Portall sounded and felt like.
In 2003 and 2004 Portall won several band competitions which resulted in more gigs.
In May 2005 they won the Metalbattle, a metalband competition, which gave them the opportunity to record their first EP titled "In the Absence of Light". Portall stayed for a short week in the Harrow Studio, where bands such as Asphyx and Occult (nowadays Legion of the Damned) had been recording their material. The 5 track counting EP was well received by metalheads and media and gave Portall a bigger reputation.
In December 2005 Portall reached the finals of Aardschoks Metalbash. Portalls straight forward trash metal worked out pretty well, cause they ended second place, 1 point less than the winner..
Portall is working hard to spread their message. In 2006 they were on the road a lot and moved their metal mayhem abroad. Portall is currently writing lots of new material and is focusing on bringing out a debut album in 2008 under the "Under Her Black Wings" label. Portall will be busy to spread their name throughout the metal world as always and be on stage as much as they can. Nowadays when the attention is more pointed to softer music, its hard to arrange gigs when you're a metalband. But from the beginning of metal 'till now, its a hard and heavy fact that metal is still alive among lots of people and its clear that it is here to stay!! And Portall exists to support that fact.
