Background information about 'Forgotten Paths'
Scottish atmospheric black metal project Saor delivers another breathtaking journey through the misty highlands with "Forgotten Paths". Andy Marshall's vision reaches new heights here, weaving together the raw power of black metal with the ethereal beauty of Celtic folk traditions. The album features a stellar collaboration with Neige from Alcest on the title track, adding his signature dreamy vocals that complement the Scottish landscapes painted in sound. Each composition flows like ancient rivers through glen and moor, with traditional bagpipes courtesy of Kevin Murphy and haunting female vocals from Sophie Rogers on "Bròn" creating moments of pure transcendence.
The production captures every nuance perfectly – from the crushing blast beats to the delicate acoustic passages that feel like whispered tales from centuries past. Marshall's songwriting has matured considerably, balancing brutality with beauty in ways that few artists manage to achieve. The album closes with "Exile", a collaborative piece with Italian musicians that showcases Saor's ability to connect with kindred spirits across borders while maintaining that distinctly Scottish identity. This is atmospheric black metal at its most evocative, where every riff carries the weight of history and every melody speaks of homeland and heritage.
