Norwegian metallers SAHG - featuring members of GORGOROTH, AUDREY HORNE and MANNGARD - will be releasing their third album, appropriately titled III, on August 30th via Indie Recordings.

In the clip below is the first of a few sneak peeks into the making of the album, and not the least a first few samples of the music.

Sahg III was produced by Herbrand Larsen, assisted by Ice Dale, both members of Bergen metallers ENSLAVED. The album will include the following tracklisting:

'In Through The Eye'

'Baptism Of Fire'

'Mortify'

'Hollow Mountain'

'Mother's Revenge'

'Downward Spiral'

'Shadow Monument'

'Burden'

'Denier'

'Spiritual Void'

Not many heavy metal bands can boast of chart positions and two-page bulletins in all the national newspapers for a debut album. Sahg can. With their gloomy chords, ten ton rhythms and a taste for the heavy rock pioneers of the seventies, the Bergen-based quartet had the audience and critics toss their hats in the air with excitement. Sahg I (2006) filled a void in the Norwegian metal fauna, and was an indisputable success in Norway, as well as abroad. The success of the debut album brought the band on tour stateside, as opening act for extreme metal pioneers CELTIC FROAT, and made Sahg "the one to watch" at a string of metal festivals.

Two years later, Sahg confirmed their status as Norway's undisputable doom lords. Many considered Sahg II as a more refined album than the debut, and featuring spearhead tracks like 'Ascent to Decadence' and 'Pyromancer', the album became another door-opener for the quartet. In the wake of the second album release, the band toured Europe as support act to legendary headliners TROUBLE, played arenas across India, and performed at prestigious festivals like Wacken, Inferno, and Metalcamp.

Fast forward to 2010. New songs and new opportunities. With a fistful of potential heavy rock classics and buckets of regained energy, Sahg entered the studio to record their third album. August 30th it will see the light of day.

Sahg is:

Olav Iversen - Vocals/Guitar

King - Bass

Thomas Tofthagen - Guitar

Thomas Lönnheim – Drums
