Portuguese Gothic Rock Project Reptil Ibérico Emissões Summons the Old Gods in Video for “Permafrost”

Reptil Ibérico Emissões is the musical project of Miguel Branco from Lisbon, Portugal. His album Obsidian combines gothic rock, post-punk, ancient mythology, and cosmic horror across seven original compositions. The recent single “Permafrost,” inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, explores themes of buried civilizations and resurrected ancient gods. Its accompanying video features costumed figures with animal masks gathered at a picnic table before dancing at dusk, drawing on folk horror aesthetics reminiscent of The Blair Witch Project and John Carpenter. Branco has released over twenty songs in Portuguese and English since 2020 under the Reptil identity, influenced by bands including The Sisters of Mercy, Fields of the Nephilim, and The Soft Moon. He also pursues horror-inspired material under the alter ego Hiena.
