Final album from Xasthur featuring vocals from Marissa Nadler. Hail the return and the demise of Xasthur, one of the grimmest and most important artists in contemporary American Black Metal. Portal of Sorrow is his final work under the title, and a more fitting title could not be applied, as Xasthur grinds the dark and miserable story to a close in truly regal, unholy fashion. A throne of ribcages smashed in petulant defiance, this final act stands as Xasthur's ultimate statement, filled with virulent hatred and disgust and rendered in the most exquisite of ways.
