Sartegos – Portais CD

“Portais” (Portals in English) compiles for the first time on CD all the SARTEGOS’ seminal demo recordings – “A Serpe Do Escarnio” (2010) and “Mortualha” (2011) – and the tracks from the vinyl splits with YSENGRIN and BALMOG, as well as lyrics and a rich collection of photos that trace the history of the Galician band. A retrospective that celebrates SARTEGOS’ 15 years of activity, awaiting a new chapter in their occult black/death metal discography.
“Three times five. Fifteen years passed since the very first spark of what SARTEGOS is today,” says guitarist/vocalist Rou; “fifteen years of this journey through dark paths and ways where all these portals are. Because every recording compiled here is a portal to a particular moment is this project’s life where – from the primitive spontaneity of “A Serpe Do Escarnio” to the anticipatory “Lume do Visitante – Morrer do Nascente” – all has its purpose, place and meaning. This retrospective is therefore a key. A key to four Portals.”
