One-man Black Metal Band from United States (Los Angeles, California).
A rider, burdened by a past which grows like a tumor inside of him, struggles against himself and loses - he chooses the rope. During what would be his last breath, he is instead given a second chance by forces beyond his comprehension, under the condition that he carries out a quest he thinks impossible. The rider flees, frightened of his own potential for greatness or for failure - but no matter how far he rides, destiny is not so easily dissuaded...
For better or worse, whether he wishes it or not, no man on this earth rides alone. We are all of us bound together, heart to heart and soul to soul -- all of us bit players in stories bigger than we know - stories we have no hand in writing. This is one of those stories - a story of friendship, love and war.

Hardbook Digipak 2-CD with 24 pages booklet
Mӕre - a malicious folkloristic entity creeping on sleeping people's chest during the night and causing breathlessness and anxiety. It's exactly this state of diffuse terror and paralysis that has been enshrined in HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY's music ever since their debut album. And now, more tales from feverish dreams are being released on January 29th in the form of the band's 5th longplayer "Mӕre", out via AOP Records.
As pioneers of the post movement, mixing haunting black metal with post rock moments, the Austrians have, ever since their conception in 2011, drawn fans and critics deeper and deeper into their maelstrom of melancholy, self hate and anger, and even reached #29 of the German charts with their previous release "Arson". And once again, several friends of the band entered the intoxicated world of HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY to guest on "Mӕre": While Alcest's front man Neige brings a haunting flair to 'Sing For The Damage We’ve Done', before the anonymous voice of Gaerea joins in on 'Silver Needle // Golden Dawn'. As session drummer, the band one again commited none less than Kerim „Krimh“ Lechner (Septicflesh, live Behemoth) in the studio and the atmospheric artwork was designed by Art of Maquenda.
New EP from the mysterious USBM entity named Uthullun. Crossing through "The Barbed Thread of Madness", the listener is taken through the anguished and solivagant embodiment of dissonance and a psychoactive cathartic journey beyond gehennah and oblivion.
