"Sår"
(Sar)
is a solo project in
Depressive Suicidal Black Metal (DSBM)
genre which started in 2008 by its only member
"Don Andolini" in
the north of Iran. The debut album as a demo was released in 2009
naming "The War Manifesto".
The band's
music is inspired by some DSBMs like Sortsind, Silencer, Cry of Silence,
Riviere Du Nord, Bleak and some others in this style; and the word
"Sår"
has been taken from one of the
Sortsind's song titles with the same name, and
it means "Wounds" in English. This selection is due to high influence of
Sortsind's music on this band.But "Sår"
like all of these bands is under undeniable influence of the greatest
leader of Black Metal scene within all times,
Burzum. The
influences of bands in other styles like
Darkthrone, Mayhem, Marduk, Immortal, Gorgoroth,
Belenos and other old school bands can't also be denied.
Lyrics' themes are
about depression, gloom and Nihilism, and
one of the most dominant inspiring elements on
band's lyrics may be thoughts of the great Iranian author,
Sadegh Hedayat,
who ended up his life in 1951.
