Sagorah

Sagorah was founded in South Tyrol (Italy) in 2013 and stands for exceptional dedication to furious Death-Thrash-Metal.
While their first album „I“ was a fusion of Modern- and Oldschool Metal influences, improved technical and songwriting skills took their sound to a new level and allowed the songs on their follow-up record „Control And Create“ to become more sophisticated. The recording sessions for „I“ took place in 2015 in the Newport- and Sound Control Studio, before the songs were mixed, produced and mastered by former ‚Graveworm‘ member Lukas Flarer. Songs like „Cocaine Cowboy“ were able to reach an international audience.
Continuing efforts earned them the 1st place at the Austrian Stromboli Newcomer Contest and made it to the ‚Rocknet Academy‘, where the guys were coached by notable musicians and producers, such as Warthy, Frank Graffstaed, Chris Kaufmann, Matts Björklund, etc.
In 2016 Sagorah decided to follow Manuel Stix‘ invitation to his Ambient Studio, who had special plans for their follow-up album. He wanted the guys to do a unique approach of live studio-recording with miminal editing and sparse sampling. The result reflects what the audience gets at their liveshows: an equally raw and clear sound which is driven by One-Takes. “Control And Create” is a record you can touch - truely exotic among Death-Metal productions.
Conceptually vocalist Iwan Holzer dealt with socio-critical issues, touching environmental aspects and the everlasting question: “What is going on in the world today?!”.
