Austrian post-black metal band Harakiri For The Sky premiere new live video for Radiohead cover »Street Spirit (Fade Out)« feat. P.G. of Groza on guest vocals.

The track is taken from the band’s new album, »Scorched Earth«, out on January 24th, 2025 via AOP Records.

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.

Taking four years to craft the follow-up to 2021’s »Maere« (which peaked at #4 on the official German charts), Harakiri For The Sky will now release their new tour-de-force, »Scorched Earth« 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”.

Says the band: “»Scorched Earth« came together after years of experimenting with untypical sounds, yet on the other hand trying to stay true to our original post-black metal style. It still seemed like one crisis followed another. Our society is divided to its core and peace seems further away than ever in the last decades. This is what inspired the title of the new album: »Scorched Earth« is a snapshot of the world we are living in, a world that’s tragically broken.”

Harakiri For The Sky have headlined tours across Europe, North America, South America, Asia, and Australia, earning a reputation as one of the most intense live acts in modern metal. Additionally, they’ve garnered 5 nominations for Austria’s prestigious Amadeus Music Award. Now, the band is ready to return to the stage, kicking off a North American tour with Swallow The Sun in February to unveil »Scorched Earth« to the world.
