PORTA NIGRA
FIN DE SIECLE

Where the passage of time is irrelevant, meaningless, and trends are thereby rendered redundant, PORTA NIGRA stands alone, defiant, isolated from the pack. A different breed of beast, one that defies categorisation. These unconventional, non-conformist Germans present a debut full-length that is untainted by modern movements and fashion fads. "Fin de Siecle" belongs partly to a bygone era, a depraved symphony remembering a generation drowned in the decadence of industrialisation – just as the world today is swamped in a different strain of soullessness and decay. PORTA NIGRA steps effortlessly between one corrupted timeline and another, basking in the profane emptiness everywhere, celebrating the corrosion of all things. This music is atypical, eccentric and truly eclectic. "Fin de Siecle" (d)evolves from source to herald the arrival of a new force in extreme art. A dark and bizarre smorgasbord of degeneration, PORTA NIGRA draws inspiration from a myriad of sources to conjure a sound that has a life of its own.
