There's deer upon the mountain, There's sheep along the glen, The forests hum with feather, But where are now the men? Here's but my mother's garden Where soft the footsteps fall, My folk are quite forgotten, But the nettle's over all. The friends are all departed, The hearth-stone is black and cold, And sturdy grows the nettle On the place beloved of old. O! black might be that ruin Where my fathers dwelt so long, And nothing hide the shame of it, The ugliness and wrong; The cabar and the corner-stone Might bleach in wind and rains, But for the gentle nettle That took such a courtier's pains. The friends are all departed, The hearth-stone is black and cold, And sturdy grows the nettle On the place beloved of old.
Absolutely beautiful. I remember having Roots, Aura and Guardians on repeat while vacationing in the Scottish Highlands. It was the best most immersive experience ever. I wish to do it again one day. I simply cannot die before visiting Scotland at least once more.
Man this song always brings me to tears and feel moved but also angry. You can sense the life he tries to evoke it seems pre-christinaity. Its beautiful with its soundscapes and atmosphere.
@@SchlongLicker8000 Jaako is a Finnish name. I will say to both you and Big Piper you misread my comment completely. I was commenting to a Finn that he knows good music, because Finns write good music. SAOR was actually not the subject of this sentence. I am aware he is Scottish, but we werent talking about SAOR, we were talking about Jaako's understanding of music.
Stunning. Atmospheric, powerful and with a beautiful touching mood. Marshall never disappoints, this is such an awesome project, truly deserves all the best! Waiting for the whole album even more than before now, slainthe!
This is soo deep. I got here from Rivers of Nihil. As a musician i appreciate this double foot drum and technical death metal backing to this crisp top up with melodic sound. Regards from Poland!
This music, this drums, and gods of metal ; this voices !!!!! Amazing!! I can't find the words to explain my feelings...but at the Third listening C'est absolument tout ce que j'aime dans le BM atmosphérique, l'atmosphère, la légèreté des mélodies, la puissance de la musique et la profondeur de la voix. Merci
I thought Saor had peaked with Aura. Pillars of the Earth is one of the most intense and awe-inspiring songs I've had the pleasure to listen to. This though, this is on another level. 8:19 of utter perfection!
Summoning, Moonsorrow, Nokturnal Mortum, Eluveitie, Equilibrium, Ensiferum, the Privateer, valhalore... There are so many, and here we're talking about folk, black bands
As a black medal drummer I love the feeling and flow of this song makes playing it awesome feel the vibe rocketing throughout your body keep up the great work saor :)
Hey just a comment passing by to say that I'm a great fan of Unreqvited! Actually one of the few bands I fell in love with on the first time listening. "Mosaic I: l'amour et l'ardeur" is an absolute masterpiece!!
I listen to your music since Disquiet. This album was one of my favorites soundtracks during the time I lived in Canada, in the city of Winnipeg; great time that don't come back! Your evolution is touchable and the last album is great as well. Thank you for your art.
Came across this by sheer accident, and I am left utterly speechless. Beautiful musically and visually. I am definitely going to deep dive this band. Hails from Hawaii!!!
Can’t believe that this song doesn’t have more than 100k by now. Beautiful track, especially since I don’t listen to black metal that much. The album is amazing as well, good luck with the future.
Incredible song, beautiful video. I've got to be honest, there were doubts in my mind of how on earth it would be possible to reach the lofty heights of ''Guardians''. I can safely say that those doubts have now been driven out far far away, and i cannot wait for the full album or thank you enough for such stunning music! (The full length version of this track - the one on bandcamp - flows even better).
Discovered by accident but truly im not dissapointed but also wonder what im listening to? Modern melo death sound mixed with scents of black metal cold and very strong folk influences... Hail from Poland 🖐️
@@lovealeksandra8194 yeah the only other one I can think of is panopticon but its kinda different bc their natural backgrounds but there’s so many bands that just wear costumes and face pain and take pics in the woods and it just doesn’t work imo
I showed this to my 16-17-year-old students in class. They were focused on it as ever. Sort of proud for doing that.
if you convinced even one of them to explore this music, you've done the world a favor!
I wish I had you as a Teacher. Great job sir
Well done, sir.
You're the man!!well done!
I went to the wrong school.
El Black Metal, es la comunión perfecta con el misterio , con la naturaleza.
Im outside more than ever because of black metal. It's this atmospheric sound that makes it more magical. SAOR does it well, much respect!
I literally feel the cold wind on my face.
There's deer upon the mountain,
There's sheep along the glen,
The forests hum with feather,
But where are now the men?
Here's but my mother's garden
Where soft the footsteps fall,
My folk are quite forgotten,
But the nettle's over all.
The friends are all departed,
The hearth-stone is black and cold,
And sturdy grows the nettle
On the place beloved of old.
O! black might be that ruin
Where my fathers dwelt so long,
And nothing hide the shame of it,
The ugliness and wrong;
The cabar and the corner-stone
Might bleach in wind and rains,
But for the gentle nettle
That took such a courtier's pains.
The friends are all departed,
The hearth-stone is black and cold,
And sturdy grows the nettle
On the place beloved of old.
it's like a folk nursery rhyme and I love it.
thank you
@@MetalRockRadios You're welcome brother!
Wow, I didn't even figure out one word... But maybe it is because I don't have English as my mother tongue.
@@florisbiezeman3800 This is why most people don't like to listen to this type of metal, cause they don't understand a word of it all without lyrics.😁
Oh beloved Scotland, beloved music and atmospheric! Amazing work!
Absolutely beautiful.

Hail from Greece brothers of Metal
Hell yeah. I love both places. Greece has great Black Metal. Check out Serpent Noir if you haven't already
Excellent!
Thank you for one of the best channels on UA-cam! I can´t say how many new great bands I have discovered thanks to you!
Thanks for the support!
@@bmpromotion Esto tiene más en común con el dark folk que con el Black metal...i really like all kinds of music of course
That was absolutely amazing. The lyrics are near and dear to my heart. Where are our brethren of the Highlands? Thank you for your awesome music
Celtic Scottish And Celtic Irish And Damnwell Proud!
Bleak weather here, perfect for this sound😀🏴
Atmosfera szkockiego folku w oprawie czarnego metalu. Już dziś w Poznaniu!
Man this song always brings me to tears and feel moved but also angry. You can sense the life he tries to evoke it seems pre-christinaity. Its beautiful with its soundscapes and atmosphere.
I can feel the Scottish fire in my veins when I hear this
Merci ! C'est tellement mystique !!! 🌹❤️
Balck metal is trully one of the most beautiful music
Not True. White Metal is, actually XD
@Caldera Records Nah bro you’re too racist...

Once the singing starts, it just tskes this song to another realm. Gorgeous.

Does he have any other projects or anything? His Saor project always leaves me wanting more every time I listen to this album.
@@fuel126 sure, check out Fuath, his black metal project!
What a masterpiece. Seeing you in Toulouse yersterday was awesome, great show!
Gets better each time I listen to it.

Amazing music, beautifull in the dark. Nature, atmospheric and darkness. Wow i love this music.
Atmosphere, emotion, nature, tradition.
This is what I expect from a new Saor piece of art. This band never disappoint.
I didn't even make it all the way through the first listen of this without pre-ordering the vinyl. Amazing.
So beautiful.
Your songs are also beautiful, in a dark way.😄🤘
I thought Saor had peaked with Aura. Pillars of the Earth is one of the most intense and awe-inspiring songs I've had the pleasure to listen to. This though, this is on another level. 8:19 of utter perfection!
And on SAOR's Bandcamp site, there is the full version of this song (12:21) !
Can’t praise this enough, absolutely beautiful! And just to point out - the production of the drums is absolutely perfect on this album 👌🏼
A new hope for Metal 🤘
No other band can sound both as mighty and sorrowful at the same time as Saor 💪🏻

Talent, no words.
No matter how many “folk black metal” bands there are none are as unique as this guy and his work
Yes, man, it's an amazing power and beauty thing.
