Saor - Guardians Info Album
It’s been awhile since I’ve been completely blown away when I’ve heard an artist for the first time, and blown away is exactly what happened when I heard Scottish artist Saor.
Saor is the one man project of Andy Marshall (although other musicians play on his records they aren’t technically in the band) which mixes metal and Celtic folk music. Saor’s music is meant to create this atmosphere that takes you away to the Scottish Highlands and imagine yourself standing at the top of a mountain looking out at the beautiful landscape of Scotland which lies beneath you, and Saor has mastered creating this atmosphere.

Not only does Andy Marshall create an atmosphere with the musical offerings of Saor he takes us right into the heart and soul of Scotland with the lyrics as well. The lyrics are actually taken from classic Scottish poems from various authors with Andy adding in some of his own words as well. The lyrical themes on Guardians deal a lot with fallen heroes who died for Scotland and also touch on national pride. I asked Andy how he came up with the concept for the new album, “I never intended to have a concept for the new album, It just happened. I took my favourite lines from those poems and a common theme started to appear. ”
