SAROS "Five Pointed Tongue" CD

The story of Saros begins with two Bay Area natives meeting up with two east coast transplants. Armed with mutual backgrounds in punk, affinities to metal, and an interest in pushing boundaries, they took off with a running start. On the strength of an unreleased demo and the repuation of their live shows alone, they quickly gained a word of mouth following that drew interest from Slayer and High on Fire members. With a point of departure that builds on a rich tradition of Bay Area thrash, they inject atmospheric instrumentation and a punishing rhythm section that drive a hynoptic beat home with a precision that rivals their obvious krautrock and prog influences.
