As the year 2020 comes to an end, Sairen is ready to release his 4th album, “Vestiges”, with pieces he composed between 2019 – 2020. This is a a more “post-metal” album with dark atmospheric sound which also proudly features slow tempos and resounding endings.
Vestiges is a guitar dominant album. The guitars are sometimes heavy and tormented and sometimes more playful with the use of reverbs and delays. The pieces follow each other vehemently while the artist search meaning among the themes. Sairen says this album is more about being at the opposition and searching for truth.
Sairen composes and delivers his music from Brittany, France. His music is sometimes described as “apocalyptic instrumental pieces” by his listeners. He loves baroque and romantic music as well as dark metal or post-rock, and he sometimes defines his music as a link between these seemingly opposite worlds.
Besides musical influences from the post-metal / post-rock bands such as Mono and Will Haven, this album is inspired by the growing struggle between “being and having” and the “Orwellian era in which we are living in now” as Sairen describes.
