Review by Sonny for Sluagh - Sluagh I (2020)

The first release from Scots Sluagh, a band featuring members of several Edinburgh metal acts such as Haar, Barshasketh and Of Spire & Throne who's remit is apparently to tell "tales from the ancient Highlands, a glimpse into a long forgotten past". This is no Andy Marshall-inpired celtic-themed nature black metal however, instead it sounds angry and aggressive, suggesting hard times and violence, rather than sweeping vistas of mountain tops and wooded valleys.
