A quote from the About section of the Saor website:

A decade about to be completed which is now about to witness the release of a fifth full-length, a decade in which Andy and Saor have almost single-handedly made us all feel a little bit like Scots at heart, regardless of our own individual origins, such is the passionate and almost visual way that this musician delivers his profoundly atmospheric hybrid of black and folk metal, peculiarly described as Caledonian metal.

I discovered Agam during lockdown. Great band … now one of my favs.

From their SoundCloud page:

Agam is a multiple award winning contemporary carnatic rock act from bangalore, india. Agam derives its name from the ancient tamil word which translates to ‘the inner self’. Agam’s music encapsulates the boundless, vibrant emotions of the human psyche. It explores, depicts and contemplates these countless aspirations and sentiments of the inner self. Their music combines the myriad hues of melodic scales and intricate rhythm structures offered by carnatic music with the aesthetic principles and tonal elegance from western world.

Three tracks, each with different styles. The first one and the last one both have a Celtic vibe/influence.

There are some really cool YouTube videos of them performing these songs live in an intimate setting. Like this one for “Koothu Over Coffee”.

For those on the fence about giving them a try … go ahead, what do you have to loose! You might actually like them. :wink:

Edit: here are the other two tracks that appear on their A Dream to Remember album that was released in 2017. Well worth a listen if you liked the first three.

:pray:
