   About PORTALS
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Portals played their last show on april 28, 2007.........thank you. Their sound is an explosive blend of classic Metallica-esque riffage and Natural Ice Tallboys.-- Red Fang

Portals are the brainchild of Salt Lake City transplant Erik Olsen. This man-mountain has a singular visionto write shredding melodic metal songs that gallop like Maiden, shine like Queen, and tap dance like the Fucking Champs. --The Portland Mercury

So, maybe the answer to the question: Why go to this show? lies with Portals, which, I can say for certain, rocks you like that crazy-ass weather we had a few weekends ago. Equal parts classic rock and classic metal -- The Willamette Week

This metal-maniac foursome will fking propel you to the land of fur boots, pig-stabbers, and smoking cloves on the side of the school.--PDX Rock and Roll

Another indicator that the Portland music scene is looking up: Portals. A wholly entertaining live show paired with some serious rawk make for a banging Friday night soundtrack. Perhaps my dream is coming true and Portland will finally become a metal town and night after night we will wander from one ripping, serious, balls-out show to another. Until then, though, we have tonight... so plan on tying one on and moving your fingers wildly to the glorious sounds of Portals' guitar shredding. -- The Portland Mercury

What in the Sam hell is this I hear about the demise of Portals?? This makes me very sad. Very sad indeed.

I'll be in Portland on Saturday. I might need to cry on your collective shoulders.
