Saurom, originally Saurom Lamderth, is a Spanish folk/power metal band hailing from the historic city of San Fernando in Cádiz, Andalusia. The group formed in 1996 and carved its niche by drawing inspiration from medieval and fantasy themes, with a notable emphasis on the literary works of J.R.R. Tolkien, which is evident in their music and album concepts. Blending traditional folk instruments with the power of heavy metal, their sound is a rich tapestry that combines epic storytelling with melodic and rousing musical compositions.

Over the years, Saurom has developed a fervent fan base, releasing music that both entertains and ignites the imagination. Their album "Legado de Juglares," which translates to "Legacy of the Minstrels," showcases their dedication to narrative songwriting, while "Las Sombras del Este," or "The Shadows of the East," further delves into Tolkien's Middle-earth-themed landscapes and themes. With "Rarezas 1: Historias de la Tierra Media," Saurom underlines their fascination with Tolkien's work, presenting lesser-known tales and songs inspired by the rich lore of Middle-earth. Their intricate and affectionate homage to the world of storytelling continues with "El Guardián de las Melodías Perdidas," or "The Guardian of the Lost Melodies." This latter piece, like their past works, cements Saurom's standing as a band that not only creates music but also preserves and reimagines the cultural legacies of literary and historical traditions within their unique metal-folk fusion.
