Sahg III

2010, The instrumentation here is really fantastic. The guitars are heavy, thick and have just enough mix of melody and riffing to keep this from becoming a power chord fest. Very tasteful solos. No Jeff Loomis impersonations, but pure soul and power. The bass is muddy and organic, just the way it needs to be for this music. And really, this is probably where Sahg sounds the most like Black Sabbath. The drums pound away and fit the music perfectly. Olav Iversen sounds a lot like Ozzy Osbourne, but he also has his own sound. In total, an uncompromising and dynamic album that stretches the band to its limits, when it comes to musicality and songwriting.
