Acrid Plains
Circling within the contingency of bands that help make up the artistic fervor of the Bay Area underground metal scene that comprises of acts such as HAMMERS OF MISFORTUNE, ASUNDER, AMBER ASYLUM, GRAYCEON, and LUDICRA, Saros are slowing building a reputation as one of the best metal acts to surface as of late within the Bay Area. Comprised of members from such notable acts as AMBER ASYLUM, legendary black metal act WEAKLING, and BASTARD NOISE, Saros brand of progressive and epic extreme metal is a tasteful blend of many styles that make the bands own unique sound. From influences such as black metal, classic Bay Area metal (ala Metallica ".And Justice For All" era), technical death metal (think Death "Symbolic" era), neo-classical chamber music (Saros kinda comes across as the metal sister equivalent of Amber Asylum likewise as singer/guitarist Leila Rauf is a full-time member of Amber Asylum while mastermind Kris Force makes an appearance on "Acrid Plains"), and also harbors neo-folk sensibilities reminiscent of acts such as AGALLOCH and DEATH IN JUNE, Saros have created a gem that has already given the band a reputation as one of the Bay Areas most promising acts
