This sounds very strong and angry. Men use it when they are fighting or very upset. Think of a bad guy in a movie talking this way.
This is different from other forms. 〜やがろう is about what someone will do. 〜やがる is about what someone is doing now. 〜やがった is about what someone already did. 〜やがれ is a command.
Don't use this when you talk about yourself. For example, you cannot say "I will do that" with this word. This word is for talking about other people. You use it when you feel angry or disgusted with them. It is like saying they have the nerve to do something. You will hear it when people talk. You will not see it in formal writing.
