Saul is an American alternative metal band from Sutherland, Iowa, formed in 2010 by brothers Blake and Zach Bedsaul. They rose to prominence in the late 2010s, specifically with the 2019 single 'Brother,' which dealt with the personal loss of their sibling and resonated deeply within the hard rock community.
Their sound is a sophisticated evolution of the post-grunge and nu-metal movements, characterized by high-production values, staccato guitar work, and a focus on mental health and familial themes. Positioned within the 'Octane-core' scene, they bridge the gap between the aggressive technicality of progressive metal and the melodic accessibility of active rock. Critically, they are noted for their vocal harmonies, which provide a unique sonic signature compared to peers like Nothing More or Gemini Syndrome. Their career arc shows a steady climb from regional favorites to national touring acts, solidified by their signing to Spinefarm Records and the release of 'Rise as Equals' in 2020.
