Harakiri For The Sky

The enigmatically-named Harakiri For The Sky formed in 2011 and over the course of five albums have made their mark in the post-metal genre. Their sprawling, 80-plus-minute epic Mære is a prime showcase for the band, featuring epic, building post-metal melodies, at times slightly folky in feel if not in instrumentation, with typically modern harsh, shouted, yet still emotional vocals. Interestingly, they decided to completely re-record their first two albums in 2022.
