Our Take
Our Take
Harakiri for the Sky's latest offering, "III: Trauma," is a tour de force of cascading emotions and blistering riffs. The Austrian duo seems to have struck a perfect balance between black metal aggression and post-rock melancholy, creating a sound that is both brutal and hauntingly beautiful.
From the opening track "Calling the Rain," with its pummeling drums and soaring guitars, to the epic closer "Funeral Dreams," Harakiri for the Sky take the listener on a dark and exhilarating journey through the depths of despair and the heights of catharsis.
Vocalist J.J.'s anguished screams cut through the wall of sound like a knife, while guitarist M.S.'s intricate melodies provide a sense of hope amidst the chaos. The production on this album is top-notch, with every instrument and vocal line coming through clear and powerful.
While some may be put off by the album's dense atmosphere and bleak lyrics, those willing to delve into the emotional depths of "III: Trauma" will be rewarded with a deeply rewarding listening experience. Harakiri for the Sky have once again proven themselves to be masters of their craft, creating an album that is as thought-provoking as it is sonically exciting. This is music for the tortured soul, the restless mind, and the heavy-hearted dreamer.

Harakiri for the Sky are the dynamic duo from Austria who have been shaking up the black metal scene with their unique blend of melancholic melodies and blistering aggression. Founded in 2011 by vocalist JJ and multi-instrumentalist Matthias Sollak, the band has garnered a dedicated following for their emotional depth and raw energy. With a name like Harakiri for the Sky, you might expect their music to be as dramatic as a Shakespearean tragedy. And you wouldn't be far off the mark. Their sound is a cathartic whirlwind of despair and defiance, with JJ's haunting vocals soaring over Matthias's intricate guitar work like a soul in conflict with itself. The band's latest album, "Mӕre", is a sonic tour de force that delves into the darkest corners of the human psyche. From the mournful opener "I, Pallbearer" to the epic closer "Sing for the Damage We've Done", each track is a masterclass in emotional intensity and sonic experimentation. But don't let their brooding exterior fool you - Harakiri for the Sky are also known for their wicked sense of humour and penchant for mischief. Whether they're pranking each other on tour or dropping sly references to obscure metal bands in their lyrics, these guys know how to have a good time. So if you're looking for music that's as provocative as it is powerful, Harakiri for the Sky are the band for you. Just be prepared to have your soul shaken to its very core.
