Once Were Picts
*Once Were Picts* showcases Saor Patrol at their rawest yet — Highland bagpipes wail over a wall of tribal war drums and driving guitars. Rooted in Scottish clan culture and forged on stages across Europe, it is the sound that Lemmy himself christened ‘The Motörhead of Folk’. Ancient blood, modern thunder — that’s where we come from, and that’s where we’re going.
