Sahg - Sahg II Review

Sahg II is more ambitious than their debut, as the band explores more influences. Those influences are classic, with groups like Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin coming quickly to mind. Their doom metal sound ranges from fast, retro sounding groovers to more plodding and psychedelic crushers. They even throw in an acoustic track. Fuzzy, trippy and heavy, Sahg does a nice job changing up the styles and tempos.

Olav Iversen is Sahg's vocalist, and has a versatile voice. He has a good range and a decent amount of power. His voice is effective cutting through the fuzz on some tracks, and blending right in with lots of effects on others. When it comes to doom/stoner metal, Norway isn't the first place you'd look, but Sahg II may change that.
