Sahg announce new album ‘Born Demon’

SAHG have announced a new album!

Titled Born Demon, the upcoming album from the Norwegian heavy metal band is the follow-up to 2016’s Memento Mori, and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Drakkar Entertainment.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming album; the title track Born Demon. Speaking about the new song, vocalist/guitarist Olav Iversen says, “we chose Born Demon as the title track, and to release it as a single, because it is one of the heaviest tracks on the record, and it tells something about the overall theme on the album. About how all human beings have their demons. Everyone has an evil side, dark powers which are hard to control, and which sometimes go out of control, and make us do bad things to ourselves and to others. Every one of us is born with a dark side, and everyone is Born Demon.”

He continues, “the lyrics are about the newborn child of a woman and a demon. The mother is in deep shame and deeply regrets her mistake with the evil seducer. She doesn’t want the child, and plans to leave the newborn deep in the forest to die. But the child uses its demonic powers to get back at her in the most gruesome way… The song originated from a riff that I wrote many, many years ago, in the early years of SAHG‘s existence. It has stuck with me through all this time, and I always loved the heavy, dark vibe of it, but I haven’t been able to write a song from it, until now. That riff is now the main riff of Born Demon. The song materialized when I came up with the verse, and when we made the massive choir arrangements towards the end. We decided to go full-on QUEEN on that part, with the entire band singing along. And we have no regrets for doing it.”
