Portal- instrumental prog rock/metal

Hi everyone, I play guitar in a band called Portal which just released a new album, called Away From the Origin. I see other people have posted their bands here, so I'm hoping it's alright to do the same. 
Portal is a band with 3 members (7 string guitar, 6 string bass, drums). I would say Portal has a unique style, with a good amount of sonic variety within that style. Portal songs often involve heavy distorted grooves, odd time signatures, spacey guitar leads, some weird moments, as well as calm and relaxing clean sections. If you're a fan of Scale the summit, Russian Circles, Pelican, Haken, or Porcupine Tree, you'll probably find something you like. We always try to make an organic and not over-produced sound, which keeps a live feel and maintains some human qualities in a world of highly perfected recordings. All music has been recorded and produced independently by the band itself. Portal has 2 albums,  both available on bandcamp, youtube, and in CD format. We'd be thrilled if anyone would like to check them out, and brutally honest feedback is always great too:
