Saor - Amidst the Ruins (2025)
"Amidst the Ruins" marks Saor's sixth full-length release, showcasing a return to their signature blend of atmospheric black metal and Celtic folk influences. The album is praised for its evocative storytelling and the seamless integration of traditional instruments like tin whistles and Uilleann pipes, which enrich the immersive experience. Tracks such as "The Sylvan Embrace," featuring Jo Quail on cello, offer a harmonious sanctuary within the album's dynamic range. While some reviewers note a desire for deeper Scottish elements in the composition, the consensus highlights the album's majestic and triumphant soundscapes that transport listeners to the heart of the Scottish Highlands.
