Review
Hagoroth is back. After the first album Fabric released in 2025, they come back with a second one, self-title. In light of their first album, they continue to bring this extremely interesting experimental black metal, with taints of death metal, DSBM, some folk notes, even some classical piano. We can’t but notice the quality of the artwork, which was already something we had noticed on their first album. It is just magnificent, and completes the music perfectly. 
They have kept this profusion of musical inspirations, with changes of rythms, musicality that will keep surprising you, like a melodeath solo out of nowhere. It really feels like the composer’s mind is bursting with ideas and yet, they manage to orchestrate all those ideas in a cohesive album.. Each song is different from the precedent, they all match magically however, showing many faces of the band, which is something we enjoy a lot! This album is more political than the first one, the whole concept of the album revolving around the forgotten city of Hagoroth. The lyrics tackle issues such as bodily autonomy, misuse of power, abuse from the powerfuls, which are themes that are contemporary struggles that we face. If you have loved or not their first album that we had covered last year, we suggest that you give it a try.
