SAROS

Saros weave together life experience with its reflection in the world of dreams to conjure a powerful yet bleak and tragic sound-scape of isolation, madness, power and corruption. Driven by a creative tension that finds its clearest expression in the dueling lead-work of Ben Aguilar and Leila Abdul-Rauf, the riffs maintain a balance between force and grace, the solos often becoming as much a narrative as the lyrical threads woven together. This juxtaposition of force and form is audible on every track of Five Pointed Tongue, the band's first full length released on Hungry Eye records in 2006. Beneath it all, the thunderous rhythm section of Tim Scammell on bass and drummer Blood Eagle maintain the heart and pulse of the Saros sound. The band's growth and progress is evident in epic proportions on their second full-length, Acrid Plains, which was released in early 2009 by Profound Lore.
