It means so much to me that I want to give you money to get it on vinyl because I didnt know it existed when it came out. 🙃

A Bear

Portal of I was like the end of a journey and the start of a bigger one that all began from hearing The Aurora Veil for the first time. Portal of I kickstarted my lifelong interest in finding any other music that could feel this good. I was new to metal from '05-06 but discovering NeO was SO IMPORTANT for me discovering that metal music can be long-form, extremely dynamic and emotional without losing any of the good hard abrasive qualities. I listened to the (soundcloud?) preview for Plague Flowers at university on repeat with some shitty school earbuds and became obsessed. I'd show it to non-metal friends who would complain about the harshness of the vocals and doublekick but still nod along. One of those people became my partner (13 years and counting) who is still a huge fan of NeO despite not being a metal fan. Portal of I was like my personal defining moment that transitioned metal from a solitary personal interest to a shared unified experience. 🫡

Vinyl is printed and on its way to us right now! More details being posted first here on Patreon in the coming days - Tim

Lets gooo. 🥳

Self reflection is what I think of it and learning to accept hardships and where you are today. I cannot wait for vinyls to come to the US I need to see y'all again

I didn't discover the band until long after Portal had come out, it was in late 2020. It is the first NeO record I bought though, and discovering you guys and Caligula's Horse marked the beginning of a revival of new music discovery for me. My tastes had been pretty stagnant for a few years and finding something fresh and exciting rekindled my interest in seeking out new music.

It was my gateway to back to metal music and especially to harsh vocals, which I didn’t think I’d like. Forget Not and Plaque Flowers were the two songs that I listened to over and over again. Seeing the Plaque Flowers live version on YouTube from the US tour also played a big part. You guys seemed to be just having so much fun playing it.

it was the second album I added to my playlist back in 2020, together with Citadel many good emotions when playing it, almost always guaranteed goosebumps 😂 can't remember how many times I was singing And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope along while working or traveling

Jorge Beeche

First listened to it back in 2012, shorlty after it came out. The first song I listed to was Forget Not and have been hoocked ever since. Can't beleive it has been 13 years and cannot wait for the next 13. Best of luck guys!

BEST NEWS OF THE YEAR. The only album I still don't have in vinyl!

Valerie Syren

Still to this day, Portal of I is the most complicated and sophisticated debut album I have ever heard from any musician. It set the bar high for Ne Obliviscaris, but I have not yet been disappointed.

Eva

Of Petrichor and Forget Not are the closest to my heart from PoI, and I cried the first time I heard them live at that fateful show in Romania. I am forever grateful for the guy who told me to listen to Plague in 2017. It’s been a journey with you guys… I‘m looking forward to continuing 🖤🍸

Vince

I can’t recall how I heard of you guys exactly, might’ve been via a metal blog site way back when. Definitely around the time of the album launch and been hooked since! Stoked to have seen you guys twice now! Shame I couldn’t catch Xen live (but James rules, still listen to a lot of BCI), but looking forward to more venue shows in the Netherlands!

Kevin Sheehan

Any Patreon Exclusive? Or perhaps fancy boxset so I can give yall more money? 😃😜 (I know, I know, I’ll be patient for the announcement)

Man, I was in my tiny apartment kitchen, towards the very start of 2020, cooking, while YouTube algorithms were taking me for a ride. As I am making my food, I hear a subtle violin and softer music, and I think, “this is interesting” and I continue to cook. Then the music crescendos and my brain forces me to stop at the stove, and check my phone to see what on earth this was that I had stumbled upon, and I saw the Portal Of I artwork. I became such a massive fan as quickly as the world shut down. I honestly do not remember which song it was, but Portal Of I is what led me here. I was all in from that day.

Adventures With Jezza

We're all so proud of you. My friend introduced me to you all. Now, I've seen you all live many times. We have tickets to see you soon. Know that you're loved by us and your collective talents do not go wasted on our ears. Great to see your lovely face Tim. Peace to you all. Love from Jeremy.

I first heard portal of I on Haugy’s round up of the year back in 2012. I’d lived in Australia for around 10 years up to that point and discovered some real quality Aussie outfits, but I heard this and decided you were the band for me. Been to (nearly ) every Brissy gig since then, one day I’ll see you somewhere else!
