FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PORTALS OF THE TOMB GUARD UNLEASH THE DARK WORLD OF KURIO WITH NEW ALBUM SEASONS OF HELL

Heavy Metal Outfit Explores Demonic Realms, Afterlife Concepts and the Dark Corridors of Humanity on New Full-Length Album

Heavy metal outfit Portals of the Tomb Guard officially open the gates to a world where death is only the beginning with the release of their new full-length album, Seasons of Hell , available now.

Built around heavy metal foundations and a sprawling conceptual mythology, Seasons of Hell takes listeners deep into the strange and sinister world of Kurio , the curious one who serves as the central figure throughout the band's evolving narrative. Through Kurio's journey, Portals of the Tomb Guard explores the darker corridors of human existence, the afterlife, demonic realms, rebellion against corrupt powers, and the mysterious forces responsible for designing and shaping worlds beyond our own.

“Kurio is everywhere.”

The origins of Portals of the Tomb Guard began simply enough. What started as a group of musicians meeting every week to jam for fun gradually developed into the possibility of creating something much larger. Drummer, guitarist, vocalist, and longtime musician Morgan Heck joined forces with Steven Eddie , whose background and conceptual approach helped establish the project's lyrical and musical direction.

When Eddie and Heck entered the studio, the project initially evolved under two separate identities, Portals of the Damned and Tomb Guard . As the music and mythology continued to develop, the two entities eventually merged into one, giving birth to Portals of the Tomb Guard .

At the heart of that evolution was Kurio.

Curious and relentless, Kurio travels through a world filled with darkness, confronting the Kings of Theron , figures representing selfish rulers and established powers, while experiencing concepts surrounding death, the demonic world and realities beyond the known. His journey eventually leads toward the mysterious Inbetwixt , entities gifted with the ability to understand and conquer the puzzles of existence, becoming builders of puzzles and ultimately builders of worlds.

Seasons of Hell serves as another chapter in that expanding universe.

With Steven Eddie handling vocals and guitars, Morgan Heck contributing drums, vocals and guitars, David Lammons on bass, and Cameron Brown on keyboards, Portals of the Tomb Guard combine a traditional heavy metal foundation with theatrical darkness and a growing conceptual narrative.

The album was produced and recorded by Steven Eddie at Hard Wall Studios / Bee Cave Records , with mixing and mastering handled by Rick Greenwood of Geneva Post Audio .

And this chapter is far from the end.

With the band's lineup now established and a new project already underway, Portals of the Tomb Guard are preparing to delve even deeper into the world of Kurio, expanding the mythology and continuing the journey through the realms that exist beyond the familiar.

For those willing to step through the portal, Seasons of Hell is now open.
