The latest offering from Scottish atmospheric black metal project SAOR is like a breath of fresh Highland air on a misty morning.
"Aura" oozes with a hauntingly beautiful blend of folk melodies and blistering black metal riffs that will transport you straight to the rolling hills of Caledonia.
The limited edition Swamp Green/Yellow/Blue/Red mixed vinyl is as visually striking as the music itself, with each swirling colour representing a different facet of SAOR's sonic landscape.
It's almost like staring into a Celtic kaleidoscope, if such a thing existed.
From the epic opening track "Children of the Mist" to the ethereal closer "Bròn," each song on "Aura" is a journey through the rugged beauty of Scotland.
The haunting vocals of main man Andy Marshall soar over lush layers of atmospheric instrumentation, creating a soundscape that is truly immersive.
Whether you're a seasoned fan of atmospheric black metal or just dipping your toes into the murky waters of the genre, SAOR's "Aura" is a must-listen.
So grab your kilt, pour yourself a wee dram of whisky, and lose yourself in the enchanting world of SAOR.
Prost!
