Homologically fibered knots are knots whose exteriors satisfy the same homological conditions as fibered knots. In our previous paper, we observed that for such a knot, higher-order Alexander invariants defined by Cochran, Harvey and Friedl are generally factorized into the part of the Magnus matrix and that of a certain Reidemeister torsion, both of which are known as invariants of homology cylinders over a surface. In this paper, we study more details of the invariants and give some concrete calculations by restricting to the case of the invariants associated with metabelian quotients of their knot groups. We provide examples of explicit calculations of the invariants for all the 12 crossings non-fibered homologically fibered knots.
