Kärgeräs is the fourth studio album by Czech black metal band Root, released in 1996 through Black Hole Records. Beginning with this album, Root began to drift away from their traditional black metal-inflected sonority, seeing them advancing towards the hybridization of black and heavy metal they are currently famous for.
According to the band's frontman
The track "Equirhodont/Grandiose Magus" eventually would share its name with the debut album of a side project formed by Big Boss in 2002, Equirhodont. An acoustic music-inflected version of the track "Kärgeräs" previously appeared on his first solo album, Q7, from 1994.
A sequel to Kärgeräs, entitled Kärgeräs – Return from Oblivion, was released on 25 November 2016.[2][3]
