Harakiri for the Sky

Musical Group

An Austrian post-black metal duo formed in 2011, known for blending black metal intensity with shoegaze and post-rock atmospheres.

The band is noted for long, dynamic compositions that mix black metal rawness with melodic, shoegaze-tinged passages. Reviews compare aspects of their sound to Alcest and Deafheaven. Their discography includes Aokigahara and III: Trauma; Scorched Earth (2025) is discussed in recent coverage and includes a cover of Radiohead's "Street Spirit (Fade Out)".

Two DeBaser reviews praise Harakiri for the Sky's dense, emotionally intense blend of post-black metal and shoegaze. Reviewers highlight long, dynamic tracks, strong melodies and a notable Radiohead cover. Aokigahara and Scorched Earth receive particular attention.

For:Fans of post-black metal, shoegaze and atmospheric/post-rock-influenced metal.

 “Scorched Earth”, Terra Bruciata, is the sixth full-length effort by the Austrian duo.

 For those who love these sounds, so hated by many TRVE black metal purists, “Aokigahara” is an album to have and devour in one breath, a worthy representative of a genre that now boasts some distinctly prominent elements, easily recognizable and identifiable in the crowd.
