HASARD’s first album from 2023, “Malivore” was undoubtedly a success, as unexpected as it was deserved. The project was born from an offshoot of LES CHANTS DU HASARD, today still committed to revisiting nineteenth-century symphonic music in the light of a black metal attitude. In HASARD the perspective is reversed: the darkest and most dissonant black metal is the fertile ground on which fascinating orchestral melodies with a dark, melancholic and resigned mood flourish. The music of “Abgnose” is in the continuity of “Malivore,” but diving deeper into nightmarish atmospheres, twisted harmonies and the interaction between orchestra and a typical metal instrumentation.
In sole-member Hazard’s words, “Abgnose is a testament to the greater force that governs our lives, neither a god or a devil, but only pure chance. There is no greater entity sitting in the sky or below the earth, who watches with interest our petty lives. Only pure chance and random events. We spend a short amount of time as a small point on an equally small planet lost somewhere in the universe and we die, only for our futile achievements to be forgotten as fast as we’re replaced. Just count the here and now, as there’s no afterlife. Abgnose stands for removing the idea of the divine, thus leaving only the despair of having to live and not be rewarded for our actions in this world.”
Always deeper into nightmares, always further into despair… To what end? That’s a question HASARD keep asking at every note.
