Harakiri For The Sky is a young black metal/post-rock band from Vienna, Austria. The band was formed by M.S. in December 2011 with the idea to perform rough and melodic black metal. M.S. wrote and recorded a couple of songs and asked his friend J.J. for lyrical input. That’s when J.J. joined the project as vocalist and the band was born. During the spring of 2012, the band recorded their self-titled debut album, released via Art of Propaganda in October 2012. At the end of 2012 and into the following year, the band set off on a live stint, playing a handful of shows with bands like Fäulnis, Heretoir, and Whiskey Ritual.
During the autumn and winter of 2013, Harakiri For The Sky recorded their second album, Aokigahara. As a tasty tidbit, Aokigahara contains guest vocals from other noteworthy black metal musicians, such Torsten (Agrypnie), Eklatanz (Heretoir), Seuche (Fäulnis), and Cristiano (Whiskey Ritual).
