Saros is an American extreme metal band based out of San Francisco, California. The band was formed in 2004 and has released a demo (given out for free at shows) and one full-length album (Five Pointed Tongue, released on Hungry Eye Records, 2006). The album features the band's distinct epic song structure, melded to fast-paced melodic riffing. Saros is Leila Abdul Rauf (Guitar and Vocals - currently an active member of Amber Asylum and Vastum), Ben Aguilar (Guitar), Tim Scammell (Bass) and Blood Eagle (drums - previously of the band Weakling.)
Five Pointed Tongue received favorable critical reaction, Metal Coven describing it as "pretty damn good",[1] and Void Expression describing it as "one of the most promising debut releases of the past year".[2]
The band has completed recording their second album, titled Acrid Plains. Produced by Billy Anderson, the album was released in March 2009 on Profound Lore Records.
