Saor Brings A Unique Aura To London

Black metal is an interesting genre, and not just for the stories and incidents. For many metal fans who weren't around in the eighties, their introduction to the genre is almost certainly the infamous Norwegian scene of the early nineties, which had some great music, but can be a little off putting due to its "necro sound" philosophy. Once one digs a little deeper though, they find all kinds of different approaches to black metal, with atmosphere playing a huge part in the appeal to people all across the world. In recent years, Scotland's Saor has been a highlight of the atmospheric black metal sub-genre and this Summer, the band marked an important anniversary heading to London and Manchester where they would play the "Aura" album in full, with the first of these shows occurring in Camden's Underworld.

Fans in attendance had something of a special treat to begin with, as they were able to witness the London debut of Northern Irish post-black metal band Domhain. Last year, the band released their debut EP, "Nimue," and so it was no surprise that their set contained all three songs from the effort, "The Mourning Star," "A Pile Of Stones Upon Her Grave" and "A Silent Frequency," in addition to a brand new number named "Feather From A Raven's Breast." Immediately, Domhain is able to set the mood perfectly, creating a wonderfully moody atmosphere without it becoming depressing.
