Baleful Creed/The Forged Hearts/Dynasty – Belfast, Voodoo – 18 June 2022

SAOR – ‘Origins’ (Season Of Mist)
SAOR, in Scottish Gaelic, means free, without obligations, unconstrained, characteristics which are intrinsic to the music of the musical entity spearheaded by sole member Andy Marshall.

Let’s see if he does…

Although he’s been in this game for a few years now, Jonny B is still constantly discovering new bands and finding himself diving into an album that represents the latest step in what can be a lengthy career. This does have its advantages though, as he can appreciate the album with a fresh perspective and have no preconceptions of what to expect, but it means that he can miss out on continuing threads between albums. However, while today’s album is album number three for Caravellus, it is a neatly packaged concept album meaning that JB can fully appreciate what’s on offer.
