Portugal. The Man have recruited an unlikely guest, the metal wiz Mizmor, to do a reworking of their song “Doubt,” which originally appeared on their June 2023 album Chris Black Changed My Life.
While Mizmor’s black metal definitely seems like a far cry from Portugal. The Man’s retro-inspired pop-rock, the two acts actually do have a personal connection: “My brother, Ryan, used to play in Portugal. The Man, and I was the kid brother who played heavy music,” Mizmor says in a press release. “Instead of stripping everything away and rebuilding from the ground up, like many remixes do, I was able to almost directly adapt the chords into my style.”
Complete with an extra doom-y outro that cleverly weaves in vocals from PTM’s own Zoe Manville, Mizmor’s version of “Doubt” isn’t just a remix — it’s a whole new beast. Watch the equally-harrowing music video below.
PTM’s John Gourley recently chatted with Consequence about his favorite venue in Anchorage, Alaska, for the Hometowns of Consequence series. Mizmor recently shared the single “No Place to Arrive,” which we named Heavy Song of the Week.
