Saros is a progressive death / doom metal band based out of San Francisco, California. The band was formed in 2004 and has released a demo (given out for free at shows) and one full length (Five Pointed Tongue, released on Hungry Eye Records, 2006). The album features the band's distinct epic song structure, melded to fast paced melodic riffing. Saros is Leila Abdul Rauf (Guitar and Vocals - currently an active member of Amber Asylum), Ben Aguilar (Guitar), Tim Scammell (Bass) and Blood Eagle (drums - previously of the band Weakling.)

Five Pointed Tongue received favorable critical reaction, Metal Coven describing it as "pretty damn good",[1] and Void Expression describing it as "one of the most promising debut releases of the past year".[2]

The band has completed recording their second full length, titled "Acrid Plains". Produced by Billy Anderson, the album was released in March 2009 on Profound Lore Records.
