Background information über 'Roots'

The album 'Roots' by Saor represents a compelling synthesis of atmospheric black metal and folk influences, characteristic of the Scottish project's signature sound. Originally released in 2013 and reissued in 2020, this work thoughtfully blends evocative melodies with dark, immersive soundscapes that echo the Scottish Highlands' haunting beauty and tragic history. Rich in epic guitar passages and melancholic atmospherics, 'Roots' balances dynamic black metal aggression with introspective folk elements, crafting an aural journey both powerful and poignant.

Highlighting six expansive tracks, including the emotionally charged "A Highland Lament" and the cover "Pictish Pride," the album explores themes of heritage, loss, and resilience. Produced with meticulous attention to detail, the reissue brings a renewed clarity to the complex arrangements and nuanced performances. Saor's ability to fuse genres and moods makes 'Roots' a landmark release within the atmospheric and folk metal niche, appealing to listeners who appreciate depth, atmosphere and emotional intensity in metal music.

For Fans Of: Admirers of bands like Agalloch, Alcest, and Empyrium will find 'Roots' captivating. Those who cherish intricate, atmospheric compositions intertwined with folk motifs and black metal ferocity will appreciate Saor's sonic storytelling and emotional depth.
