SAOR

Artist Origin: SCO
Style: celtic atmospheric folk black metal

after changing the banner from Àrsaidh to Saor, Andy Marshall has been climbing up the mountainous Highlands, bringing together his expressive, chilling down the spine music with quite rich heritage entwined within folky atmospheric black metal envelope - third album [2016], regardless of its more intense and multi-layered character, brings forth one-of-a-kind epic, cinematic vibe that could easily partner some historical movie, and it is not just about bagpipes or fiddles, but also the grandiloquent spirit of the nation, enriched by poems of Scottish authors, making these lengthy tracks a key opener to fundamental wisdom, where Meri Tadić [ex.Eluveitie] adds her charming fiddle sounds as a guest; first French gatefold sleeve double black vinyl edition with A2 sized poster and unreleased Dawn of Heroes demo song as bonus is limited to 450 units
