  Amidst the Ruins draws inspiration from a bygone era. On their fifth album, Saor merges black metal's raw intensity with Celtic folk’s heartfelt melodies. The title track weaves together melodic guitars, heavy bass lines and blast beats. As echoes of forgotten paths and crumbling relics of history unfold before your eyes, this song serves as a solemn reminder of a heritage lost amidst the modern world's clamor.

   

  Saor will embark on a journey across the UK and Europe next year. The band will share their majestic new serenades with fans far and wide during the Amidst the Ruins 2025 tour.
