Released in 2014 by Art of Propaganda, Harakiri for the Sky's Aokigahara reaped widespread critical acclaim for its startling synthesis of skyscraping post-rock textures and emotive black metal fury. Breathtaking and torturous in equal measures, the highwater mark that Aokigahara set has somehow been eclipsed by III: Trauma. Immediately, the album kicks off with an 11-minute epic titled “Calling the Rain,“ and indeed do Harakiri for the Sky summon forces both natural and supernatural. As the record winds through seven more equally scintillating epics, III: Trauma swells and swirls, crests and crushes, effortlessly dancing between genres with nary an ounce of self-consciousness. Not for nothing is the album titled Trauma: the emotional landscapes the band travail scrape both the direst depths and fleetingly blissful extremes of the human psyche. But, as masterful as the band are at this point, this is not new territory for Harakiri for the Sky; they have been a steady work in progress from the start. Founded in 2011 in Vienna, Austria, the aim of Harakiri for the Sky has always been to create a unique mixture of melancholy and aggression, madness and meaning, and wrapped in alternately manic/mellow songs that bridged black metal and atmospheric post-rock. The band was initially begun as a studio project by erstwhile Bifröst member M. S. joined by vocalist/lyricist J. J., and has recently been expanded to a live lineup. With that lineup secured, Harakiri for the Sky then embarked upon four successful European tours with the likes of A Forest of Stars, Der Weg Einer Freiheit, and Agrypnie among others, encompassing over 20 countries to date. Now prepared to release the masterwork III: Trauma, Harakiri for the Sky will take this volatile-yet-beautiful new concoction on the road for the remainder of 2016: massive sound-walls and the barest of emotions await! Recorded by M.S. and Daniel Fellner Mixed and Mastered by Daniel Fellner Produced by M.S. Words & Vocals by J.J. Layout & Artwork by Tristan Svart Lyrics: I can’t remember why I left my hometown And why I moved to this city, that got me stranded by the tide I wonder who I was those days, who I’m going to be But to secure peace is still the best way to prepare for war This world made me an alcoholic This world makes me wanna die in my sleep This world made me a junkie, dyed-in-the-wool This world made me a razoreater, a homeless fool… No Man is an Island, entire of itself Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main I am involved in mankind, and so are you Cause we are both part of this vast and moribund clutter And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls Cause it tolls for you and me... ...it tolls for you and me... I didn’t believe you, as you once compared love to flames But I guess you were right, cause both leave nothing but ashes For me, love was never tied to conditions In the end I loved you… …but I chose darkness… I chose darkness… My dear I lost you, as this city lost me We lost our shelter, we even lost the sea Day after day keeps elapsing, some day we‘ll call it years I‘m on my own now… …but every stranger looks like you… The traces we leave are vague, but they still catch sight Sadly, I’m still lost in this city where I shouldn’t be at all It’s hard to wake up from a nightmare, when your’re not even asleep But this world breaks everyone, and afterwards some are strong at the broken places… All Rights Reserved To Harakiri For The Sky & Art Of Propaganda © 2016
