Herzog are a band from Belgium t hat has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for a very aggressive and melancholic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Mugwort" which will be release d on october 26th by Amor Fati Productions.
Clean playing starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while the vocals are mostly high pitched yet grim sounding black metal screams, Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing along with a great portion of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Spoken words and growls can also be heard at times while the faster sections of the album also add in a lot of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some of the tracks also adding some atmospheric touches. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and the closing track is also an instrumental.
On this recording Herzog brings out a very aggressive, melancholic and traditional style of black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover shock, pain and the violence of losing everything you held true.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Herzog and if you are a fan of aggressive and melancholic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dawn Of The Prosper" and "Post-Truth". 8 out of 10.
