Limited Mediabook Double LP with 20 pages glued-in Booklet, Hotfoil Print on Front and Backcover with 2 exklusive bonus tracks and on black vinyl. Despair, loss, love, and existential struggles have always been the foundation of HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY's distinctive sound. Since their formation in 2011, multi-instrumentalist M.S. and vocalist J.J. have gained recognition for pushing musical boundaries with their emotionally charged blend of atmospheric extreme metal and melodic post-rock, grunge and modern hardcore, carving out a genre of their own. Taking four years to craft their next epic chapter after 2021's Maere (which peaked at #4 on the official German charts, #35 in Austria, #22 in Switzerland), HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY will now release their new tour-de-force, Scorched Earth, on January 24th through AOP Records. The album is a snapshot of the world we are living in, a world that's tragically broken. Our society is divided to its core and peace seems further away than ever in the last decades. It still seems like one crisis follows another, and this feeling of impending doom is captured on Scorched Earth Harakiri for the sky has played in Latin America, North America, Asia, Australia, some parts in Africa and all parts in Europe the past 7 years!
