When we have a Carnal Records release before our eyes, we can“t expect nothing but music strongly uncompromising and honest, according to the ranks shown in the catalogue edited by these Swedish label so far. Sauron is another bandname inspired by Tolkien“s universe, unlike the band“s brutality is distant from epic bombastic sounds. Certainly, raw and apocalyptic black metal is what we find under this file. Unrelenting patterns and solid guitar textures are the foundations of Sauron“s blend of metal. So eyeless guardians and similar things are not the issue here...
Massive and harsh in the arrangements and execution, though endowed with a respectable production, this collection of songs may become a bit demanding for an average black metal listener. This is very tough metal, fuzzy at times but ear-destroyer as hell with its fast lines, desvastating mid tempos, crushing blastbeats and killer shrieks. The mass of the sound conforms a solid monster that might submerge the listener into a violent whirlwind of dark emotions, embellished by subtle but audible tricks that enrich the whole. The sensation of unity is certainly strong, effectively achieved through a collection of melodies linked to create an overwhelming chaos harmony, a soundtrack for apocalypse. Melodies are not the easy kind but rather far-from-earth, as if the creator would taunt the listener or lure him into the unfathomable world of turmoil through these sonic gimmicks. Neither too melodic nor too repetitive, that no man“s land is easily trodden by Sauron to perform their brand of atmospheric music. Chaos is again successfully portrayed in music under this band.
