Saor

About the artist

Hailing from the enchanting landscapes of Scotland, Saor emerged onto the metal scene in 2013, leaving an indelible mark with their unique and captivating blend of melodic atmospheric black metal intensity and rich Scottish/Celtic folk influences. At the heart of Saor's sonic journey stands the creative genius of Andy Marshall. As the driving force behind the band, Marshall's visionary approach to composition blends the harsh grandeur of black metal with the tender melodies of Scottish folklore. Drawing inspiration from the majesty of the Highlands, Marshall's music becomes a conduit through which listeners can connect with the raw power of nature and the storied history of his homeland. Beyond the studio, Saor's live performances stand as transcendent experiences, transporting audiences into the very heart of their sonic tales. The stage becomes a canvas upon which the band paints stories of battles, legends, and the timeless allure of the Scottish landscape. These enthralling shows bridge the gap between past and present, inviting listeners to join a communal journey that celebrates Caledonia's heritage and its enduring connection with nature. New album "Amidst the Ruins" is out 7th February 2025 on Season of Mist.
