iSAW

Our Sound:
ISAW don’t pretend to belong to any one specific genre or sub-genre of metal as it's becoming increasingly difficult to define the lines of these styles. Alternatively we prefer to develop our own flavour of metal drawing influence from numerous genres. Each band member brings an independent background in taste and experience varying from rock, metal core, extreme metal, thrash, and death metal.
