Polish HEGEROTH with 2nd single from upcoming "Soaked In Rot" album

Hegeroth was founded in 2010 in Upper Silesia (Poland). The band's music has evolved from symphonic and melodic black metal in its early days, through complex, multi-layered melodic structures intertwined with disharmonies, to expressive, energetic pieces dominated by aggression, speed, and uncompromising expression. However, Hegeroth has never followed the well-trodden path of black metal, always seeking its own way and means of expression. The lyrics mock the mindlessness, dogmatism and meanness resulting from the imposition of a model of right-only thinking, religious oppression and mental backwardness.

The band has released five albums. Sixth is on the way...

Music for new album "Soaked in Rot" was recorded, mixed and mastered by Bene at HHSoundLab Studios. Cover artwork as well as whole layout was done by Maciej Kamuda (Blut aus Nord, Nunslaughter, Master). Upcoming record will be released on March 25, 2026 in digital format and jewelcase CD as independent release. Pre-order is available at Bandcamp.

Bene comments new single: "Święte Szlachtowanie (en. Holy Slaughter) is one of three titles on the album with lyrics in Polish. It focuses on the darkness of the late Middle Ages, recounting the brutal conflicts over faith that tore through ancient Europe".
