Almost thirty summers passed And dropped down on me like fallen leaves No, we didn't even ask for happiness, no, just a little less pain Almost tore up listening to this. Amazing album. Emotional, desperate, harsh, melodic. Great job guys, you truly are amazing
Hey Harakiri für the sky! i wear a hoodie of you guys, but i dont know your Music until now :P it was the hoodie of a soulfriend of mine, who died last year.... i really miss him and the friendship we had... now im listening to your Music and maybe i will like it as much as he did :) Keep on rockin!
I CAN FINALLY SIT THE FUCK DOWN AND ENJOY THE ENTIRE ALBUM IN MY BRAND NEW HOME. THANK YOU Harakirir! For giving me the heart and right mind to get my shit together. You didn't save my life. I did my self. By doing. I could have disregarded the whole message of this album and not use it to my ability to become a better person but realistic realizations are surprises in every crack and crevice corner of our daily lives.
Felicitats!!! Feliç, feliç en el teu dia , amiguiti que déu et beneeixi i ara mateix estic molt flipat per la gran qualitat de aquest disc.... Bé, i que compleixis MOLTS MÉS. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😅😅😅😊😊😊
My Arson Boxset just got shipped. I am so giddy like a school boy! This album is so wonderful! I am planning on buying all of the Harakiri For The Sky albums! I just cannot get enough of the material these guys put out. They are one of a kind!
The transition at 25:59 and the parts that followed brought me to tears. . . . I am not just talking about the acoustic interlude but even the next few minutes of chaos, solos, blast beats and beautiful rhythmic guitar riffs. . . They get so many emotions out of me. And then, they hit you with Heroin Waltz. Wow!
I absolutely love these guys art covers. So tasteful and the center imagery being woodland animals. Especially the Aokigahara cover. There is more than meets the eye on that one. The music and the covers go hand in hand. Very good music and visuals, gentlemen. Good work 👍🤘
Fuck me these guys are so good! I just heard Maere and that was gold but all their albums are absolutely amazing! Why the hell had I never heard of them before!? That cute riff in The Graves we've dug... holy shit!
And they are from Austria (Salzburg/Vienna), my new homeland! I used to assume that they were Japanese. :-) Is there Black Metal from Japan, by the way?
It took me 3 days to get thru this album. I couldn't stop weeping. I'm too scared to show it to anyone, too close to my heart, I couldn't handle anyone's criticism, so I keep it to myself. TY.
Fire, Walk with Me How can we forgive ourselves? For what we have become? How should we bear this burden? Displace the things we've done? I loved you so fucking much It nearly lasted a lifetime Fuck! I scratched my heart out Just to watch it bleed... I wish I was kerosene, just to set myself on fire I wish I was kerosene, I'd burn all we've edified I wish I was kerosene, plain to set your world on fire I wish I was kerosene... just to feed the flames And a bottle of whiskey later I can still recall the shape of your face While I forgot my way home, while I forgot my own fucking name... Who even calls this place home? In the best case it's a grave with a view I was never really here But the streets still seem to know my name Stay! Never mind the emptiness! Leave! Fire walks with me! You kept a lot of secrets and I kept none I wish I could go back and keep some... I usually keep my sadness Pent up deep inside Where it can fester quietly To become mental illness You were so fucking afraid You might be living a lie Oh poor you... I may have lived like twenty! I wish I was kerosene, just to set myself on fire I wish I was kerosene, I'd burn all we've edified I wish I was kerosene, plain to set youself on fire I wish I was kerosene... at least to feed the flames This will never be about life Always about love and death These are the only things that make me write The things that let me bleed, that let me starve The soil below me whispers my name and suggests: You are done here... come home now? Face the triangle of growth, decline and decay Cause the harder you struggle, the tighter the noose! ...the tighter the noose!
The Graves We've Dug It happened in December In the days when things get sad for no reason Strangers share a drink called loneliness And this city turns into the coldest place Then I keep you in mind from time to time I resist to scream your name out loud I'm sorry I gave you everything I had Without making sure you ever desired it... People get tired of being sad, being pushed aside And then they leave, even though they promised they would not And it's not as if I did not try, but somewhere between being who you needed And being who I should become, I became a stranger to us both Teach your heart how to cherish the people around you before they depart You know they surely will, if not by a choice, death steals them away And you'll have the remains of your life to dwell in regrets Cause the gallows won't disappear, and for sure the graves won't fill ...and for sure the graves won't fill... This is the death of our youths The requiem to our dreams Almost thirty summers passed And dropped down on me like fallen leaves No, we didin't even ask for happiness... just a little less pain Now we sing and drink besides the graves we've dug Perhaps one day we will meet again Two stars colliding for another time Recognizing the pieces of ourselves We left behind in each other's heart So search for me in the pitch black night When the stars hide behind the clouds And my heart longs for you Whatever you do... search for me Steal my heart in autumn, where I fall in love by time We roam the fields together, counting stars and fighting sleep No, I'm not feeling better yet, it seems I just got used to the words Cause the gallows won't disappear, and for sure the graves won't ever fill This was the death of our youths This was the requiem to our dreams Almost thirty summers passed And dropped down on me like fallen leaves No, we didn't even ask for happiness, no, just a little less pain This is where we sing and drink besides the graves we've dug... ...besides the graves we've dug...
You Are the Scars Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift It took me years to realize you teared my heart through fordable mires But I wasn’t made for shallow waters, my heart is an ocean… And I think that’s where I am right now: Floating, drifting away Too weak to continue swimming, yet not weak enough to give up and sink Leastwise I know now, that salty waters might cure everything Shedding tears… …or to walk into the sea… Did you know, if you hold your breath all too long You will finally sleep forever? Did you know, that I never forgave myself For what we’ve become? How odd I can have all of this inside me And to you it’s just words, another letter??? But what is loss? What is wealth? I am nothing! We are nothing…! We are nothing…! I am the mourning You are the scars I am the night Color me black I am the mourning You are the scars I am the night Color me black There’s a place in my heart that will never be filled And even during the best and the greatest times I will know it… …more than ever I will know it… …more than ever In another night, in another world Things could have been so different In another night, in another world Things would have been so different I am the mourning You are the scars I am the night Color me black I am the mourning You are the scars I am the night Color me black
Heroine Waltz Somewhere there‘s a garden of everlasting love within me But I fear that all you can see are the scars that grace my skin These lightless walks will chafe us and just the drugs keep us warm People feel so lonely in the dark, I feel so lonely in the light I feel so sad about the people That never made it behind the bars of their hometown That never saw these bottomless depths That never walked these mires, I have walked Worth the pain that has burned me and scarred my soul For having been allowed to walk where I have walked Which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth and back again Under, far beneath, through it, in it… …and above… My dear, the concept of „home“ is such a vague notion As I can‘t stay in the same place for more than three days Once you told me, that I‘ll never find home without leaving But now I saw so many places, I at least forgot them all So I’m lying in my bed, in my house And all I want to do is to go home… I had to promise them that I won’t go, but nevertheless I will leave I’d like to think they must have known that I would do this one day So I hope to arrive at my burial late, psychotic and wasted Cause when it’s about death, I feel nothing at all Nothing but anticipation Nothing at all And I will never regret all the wounds you inflicted on me Cause another two of these scars and the world is dead For how I harmed you my dear… …I am sorry… But as this last summer passed I could no longer bear the pain This was our last autumn and I’ll take the blame …I’m so fucking sorry… …but that’s how it ends…
Tomb Omnia You never were aware of me since you died certain years before my birth I’m about your age now, soon to attain the days you lost your vital spark Although you‘re not my father, I’m nevertheless your daughters‘ brother We will never meet in person and I’ll never lay roses, just thorns to your grave It was more than three decades ago they found you close to the woods Your gaunt dead body, held by nothing but this plaited noose My sister was with them, till today she failed to forget To her you will never age, your face will never grow old These days of autumn at least wrecked their lives And in the long run, somehow it too shattered mine There’s no way anybody will get well again And in no way, anybody will be the same again There is this graveyard far up in the mountains We met up there in last winter’s coldest night When mom brought you dewy flowers Like she did in all the years before There’s so much death up there Especially at night Maybe that’s the reason It’s the only place I feel home I can totally get your motives As I know of severity too I was always aware that nothing ends with suicide I was always aware that people die from sadness We move up to the gallows, straight up to the noose In this state of depression there’s no time left to loose So we pour this tree, this life of reckless dedication How couldn’t we? Our coffin’s shaped by its wood I don’t know if you care But your old cabin still guards the gates to the woods It‘s still watching the mountains grow Watching all these years passing by And after death almost seized it We gave our best to fill it with life It still looks the same like back in the old days As you‘d have left it just last June
Stillborn I wonder if depression ever ends Or if it will end me I'm still dancing on the edge of the blade Till it cuts me in half Some days I feel everything at once Other days I feel nothing at all So what's worse? Drowning beneath the waves or dying from the thirst? I dropped my Prozac from one day to the other I do not regret, why should I bother? I just wonder what will happen?! Maybe it will kill me... eventually set me free... Neither do I ask the night to explain I wait for it and it envelops me And so you, me, gloom and light... ...and shadows... are Don't charm away my melancholy, it's everything I've got To me it's kind of death, but I'm forced to keep living I won't glorify or romanticize what you call heartbreak But nothing in this world was promised or belong to you Someday someone won't be afraid of the lows I drag They won't stay on the shore, they'll meet me in the depths I am not dead but also not alive I seem like a ghost with a beating heart Cause death is not the greatest loss in life But what dies inside us while we fledge We are walking away quietly into empty spaces We are trying to close the gaps of the past Cause of all sad words of tongue or pen The saddest are these: 'It might have been' Don't charm away my melancholy, it's everything I've got To me it's kind of death, but I'm forced to keep living I won't glorify or romanticize what you call heartbreak But nothing in this world was promised or belonged to you... ...was promised or belonged to you.
ya know, their earlier stuff just never really did it for me like i dont claim to have studied their catalogue, but they pop up in autoplay/suggestions frequently enough, and i always end up skipping but this one man, this one is incredible. i'm definitely gonna be spinning this, and keeping an eye out for them in the future power power
This came on after having jammed the new Mgla for the millionth time. Have been aware of this band but never gave them a shot for whatever reason. Clearly I have been missing out. This is good shit. Perfect for staring out the window on this gloomy post Thanksgiving day as I work from home.
Insomnium of black metal. Terrific record with insane amount of amazing leads. I even got used to the vocals over time. Maybe not better than Aokigahara but still one of the best albums of 2018.
in case someone cares and is going to look up Be'lakor: The bands are similar in Guitar Riffage and some drumming parts. I don't know about the lyrics i haven't read yet. I like Be'lakor more because they have warmer recordings. Also the use of growls instead of mid screams like here make them more mysterious and easier to listen to especially on the album "of breath and bone". Finally i would recommend no one to expect Be'lakor to be very similar to Harakiri For The Sky. They still differ greatly. You will see for yourself.
@@olivierouimet5686 i prefer Be'Lakor because their music somehow manages to sound incredibly "philosophical" to me. IDK how to put it, but Stone's Reach has this atmosphere about it making me think about thing. Not just feeling things mind you, but indeed asking difficult questions and solving interesting problems or building philosophical arguments. It is EXACTLY what music is supposed to do, it is supposed to work wonders for that one person.
Just going over the lyrics and you can already tell these guys know what they're talking about. They lived that, but haven't we all at some time? This band hits very close to home for me. Especially The Graves We've Dug.
I just realized this I find myself at here everytime when I fail. HFTS is giving me the inspiration that I need. I love their way of using suicidal thoughts in the songs. Weird but I feel more powerful than before I discover them. Thanks much for keeping me alive. Respect to the masters of arts, to the Austrians. I'll be listening your songs when I visit Hermann Nitsch's gallery in Gallipoli :')
Reverse psychology #1. They inject power, awesome riffs, throw-down ftw, I(you) have it all, JUST go get it, pure attitude #2 And, YOU r not the beat, but the Beat Down anytime/where #3.
Oh yeah, 1 more thing. You find yourself here when you fail. As you find a few less failures, Show the band how much more fucking awesome they r when you find yourself here when you SUCCEED!!!!!
This is utterly fantastic metal. As much as I love people who strain their vocals to sound like demons and bands that avoid writing about emotions to appease shallow brutes, and I mean that, this raw, visceral style of vocal delivery and relatable lyrics about real life issues people with depression face is awesome, right up there alongside Agalloch for me.
Desde que escuché esta banda no he podido dejar de escucharla, me encanta como suenan lml es desgarrador con mucha fuerza y sentimiento no puedo evitar hacer Headbanging en el metro...
I love this album! You guys are true Idals cause I've went through the same shit that describes in the lyrical art and still currently going through so much traumatic experiences in my life. It helps me motivate my self through my life at this point in time with the life lessons portraying Co-incide. I put my self out in a Ditch to get sober out in Phoenix, AZ after going through the loss of a loved one the emotional set-backs were horrible although I have been down this has put me at in a mind set to keep fighting for my life too survive and never give up. I liked "My dear, the concept of „home“ is such a vague notion" cause it summed up how I was feeling at the time being out side making a living under no income but having the motivation to continue being responsible anyways. If you played this at a homeless shelter and everyone was reading along with the lyrics people would start crying. But it would be a very good realization for everyone to improve themselves. Putting all of my strength through putting my self in a healthy mind set I have finally been notified I am getting a homeless Housing voucher very soon after all the set-backs.
I agree with all this and fuck anyone who is too shallow to be able to separate posers from people with severe mental health issues. We don’t need emotionless brutes defining genre. Melancholy works for many of us. I have depression, if you call me an emo, I guess that makes you a good person! Adult bullies are a weird one...
Esse álbum é uma verdadeira obra de arte sonora! Adorei, se um dia vierem ao Brasil, serei o primeiro a comprar o ingresso. Parabéns a banda e a AOP Records por trazerem musica de qualidade aos nosso ouvidos .
Wow! love it to bits! Waited long time for this and it was well worth it. i never thought i'd find music that screams so many familiar thoughts back at my head...
gli harakiri for the sky. i tecnicismi non mi competono, non li conosco, non ho nemmeno mai suonato uno strumento, mi sarebbe piaciuta la batteria. sarebbe stata perfetta per una come me che "fa tanto rumore". non so un cazzo di come descriverli così lo faccio a parole mie. loro sono il caos e la perfezione di un cuore in pezzi, ascoltarli è come sbattere forte la testa, come esplodere su una mina, come lanciarsi dall'ottavo piano, ottavo piano come ottavo giorno. un giorno che non esiste ma in cui sono stati creati i diversi, che però esistono invece. ottavo piano, so esattamente cosa si proverebbe. volo di pochi istanti, tonfo muto dello schianto, in una frazione di secondi dentro senti solo...imploderti. è come inciampare e cadere in terra ma al massimo del volume possibile. loro li sento suonare così e poi ancora sono melodici, aggressivi, struggenti, carnali, rapidi, supersonici, massacranti, ipnotici, amari, dolci, commoventi, carezzano come una lama contropelle, sono fiammeggianti, sbranano mentre suonano. li ascolto così. li amo così. fuck.!!
I found really good album. After few minutes of listening I can say I found really great album. In BM I loved Exercises in Futility of Mgła but this album sound similar but different and is definitely masterpiece of 2018! First time google failed so much it found it for me after 1 year! Fix the bug please.
Thanks for your music J.J and M.S. The Special Edition with the lighter,... is really awesome. Also thanks to aop records for signing harakiri for the sky. Looking forward to see you in nürnberg guys.

Why do people fight over if. this band is post metal or black metal its the perfect blend of both i hear as much ulver and burzum as i do mogwai and godspeed its beutiful
Why I never gave that band I huge listen? This is top level stuff, such nice leads and powerful rythms and nothing is too exaggerated like by many "newer" bands! Will support you now!
Funny, the band's name (which I consider to be awful, if admittedly unique), is why I avoided them for months after being recommended. But more fool me, I suppose. The music is top notch.
I truly adore this album in particular and the bands catalogue as a whole. There's something about Arson though, that just speaks to me as a recovering addict. Can't wait to see them in Minneapolis!
Oh yes, you just made my day!
Yes but this is my fav song y is they're no awesome video? That would make my day❤❤❤

Almost thirty summers passed
And dropped down on me like fallen leaves
No, we didn't even ask for happiness, no, just a little less pain
Almost tore up listening to this. Amazing album. Emotional, desperate, harsh, melodic. Great job guys, you truly are amazing
Keine Ahnung wie ihr es immer wieder schafft, erneut einen oben drauf zu setzen.
Danke für die geile Musik!
I've had this on repeat since it was released. Can't. Stop. Listening. Never been this obsessive over a band before!!

Hey Harakiri für the sky! i wear a hoodie of you guys, but i dont know your Music until now :P it was the hoodie of a soulfriend of mine, who died last year.... i really miss him and the friendship we had... now im listening to your Music and maybe i will like it as much as he did :) Keep on rockin!
Nobody gives a shit jesus christ
I CAN FINALLY SIT THE FUCK DOWN AND ENJOY THE ENTIRE ALBUM IN MY BRAND NEW HOME. THANK YOU Harakirir!
For giving me the heart and right mind to get my shit together. You didn't save my life. I did my self. By doing. I could have disregarded the whole message of this album and not use it to my ability to become a better person but realistic realizations are surprises in every crack and crevice corner of our daily lives.
Finally. And the best thing about this album is that it came out just on my birthday
Happy Birthday Petr !
Thanks :)
Felicitats!!! Feliç, feliç en el teu dia , amiguiti que déu et beneeixi i ara mateix estic molt flipat per la gran qualitat de aquest disc.... Bé, i que compleixis MOLTS MÉS. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😅😅😅😊😊😊
I just discovered this band
Oh my god !! Incredible
Anything this band puts out is just pure gold. 🔥
Why I listen this every days ?
because your taste in music is outstanding

Fire, Walk With Me is such a good song. I can't stop listening to it. Absolutely brilliant.
This band is a revelation. So, so awesome... Finally found MY music...! Thanks, HFTS!
"Ellende" is another great one. Another revelation. Both Austrian bands. Great music!
I just love this band. Unreal melodies, melancholy, blast. Guys, I just eat you up!!
The transition at 25:59 and the parts that followed brought me to tears. . . . I am not just talking about the acoustic interlude but even the next few minutes of chaos, solos, blast beats and beautiful rhythmic guitar riffs. . . They get so many emotions out of me.

I just discovered this group, one of my best discoveries of its last years. Simply beautiful, thank you for this jewel
Duuuuuuuuuuuuude I just saw that you are going to play in Toulouse (France) on 02/09/2021. I'll be there no matter what ! Huge
After countless spins it's a 10/10 in my book. Awesome work.
Much better than the melancholic Trauma Album. Arson returns with strength, speed and determination. That´s like therapy for my mind :)
I absolutely love these guys art covers. So tasteful and the center imagery being woodland animals. Especially the Aokigahara cover. There is more than meets the eye on that one. The music and the covers go hand in hand. Very good music and visuals, gentlemen. Good work 👍🤘
Fuck me these guys are so good! I just heard Maere and that was gold but all their albums are absolutely amazing! Why the hell had I never heard of them before!? That cute riff in The Graves we've dug... holy shit!
Their new album is nothing short of a therapy. Musical meditation for self elevation. Ubermensch.
Ü!
Zeitgeist
Already the best release of 2018!
I bough the last Golden LP this morning I think, could not resist. Awesome job Harakiri for the Sky, thank you for this.
I can't believe I just found this band today. These guys are amazing.
And they are from Austria (Salzburg/Vienna), my new homeland! I used to assume that they were Japanese. :-) Is there Black Metal from Japan, by the way?
It took me 3 days to get thru this album. I couldn't stop weeping. I'm too scared to show it to anyone, too close to my heart, I couldn't handle anyone's criticism, so I keep it to myself.

wtf is this cringe shit

Haven't heard from this band since their "Aokigahara" album and what a lovely time they have provided me. Hopefully they'll release more of this.
Carolina Lisboa take a listen to the Trauma album 😌
@@AOPRecords Just listened to that album. Beautiful offering! :)
True!
Fire, Walk with Me
How can we forgive ourselves?
For what we have become?
How should we bear this burden?
Displace the things we've done?
I loved you so fucking much
It nearly lasted a lifetime
Fuck! I scratched my heart out
Just to watch it bleed...
I wish I was kerosene, just to set myself on fire
I wish I was kerosene, I'd burn all we've edified
I wish I was kerosene, plain to set your world on fire
I wish I was kerosene... just to feed the flames
And a bottle of whiskey later I can still recall the shape of your face
While I forgot my way home, while I forgot my own fucking name...
Who even calls this place home?
In the best case it's a grave with a view
I was never really here
But the streets still seem to know my name
Stay! Never mind the emptiness!
Leave! Fire walks with me!
You kept a lot of secrets and I kept none
I wish I could go back and keep some...
I usually keep my sadness
Pent up deep inside
Where it can fester quietly
To become mental illness
You were so fucking afraid
You might be living a lie
Oh poor you...
I may have lived like twenty!
I wish I was kerosene, just to set myself on fire
I wish I was kerosene, I'd burn all we've edified
I wish I was kerosene, plain to set youself on fire
I wish I was kerosene... at least to feed the flames
This will never be about life
Always about love and death
These are the only things that make me write
The things that let me bleed, that let me starve
The soil below me whispers my name and suggests:
You are done here... come home now?
Face the triangle of growth, decline and decay
Cause the harder you struggle, the tighter the noose!
...the tighter the noose!
The Graves We've Dug
It happened in December
In the days when things get sad for no reason
Strangers share a drink called loneliness
And this city turns into the coldest place
Then I keep you in mind from time to time
I resist to scream your name out loud
I'm sorry I gave you everything I had
Without making sure you ever desired it...
People get tired of being sad, being pushed aside
And then they leave, even though they promised they would not
And it's not as if I did not try, but somewhere between being who you needed
And being who I should become, I became a stranger to us both
Teach your heart how to cherish the people around you before they depart
You know they surely will, if not by a choice, death steals them away
And you'll have the remains of your life to dwell in regrets
Cause the gallows won't disappear, and for sure the graves won't fill
...and for sure the graves won't fill...
This is the death of our youths
The requiem to our dreams
Almost thirty summers passed
And dropped down on me like fallen leaves
No, we didin't even ask for happiness... just a little less pain
Now we sing and drink besides the graves we've dug
Perhaps one day we will meet again
Two stars colliding for another time
Recognizing the pieces of ourselves
We left behind in each other's heart
So search for me in the pitch black night
When the stars hide behind the clouds
And my heart longs for you
Whatever you do... search for me
Steal my heart in autumn, where I fall in love by time
We roam the fields together, counting stars and fighting sleep
No, I'm not feeling better yet, it seems I just got used to the words
Cause the gallows won't disappear, and for sure the graves won't ever fill
This was the death of our youths
This was the requiem to our dreams
Almost thirty summers passed
And dropped down on me like fallen leaves
No, we didn't even ask for happiness, no, just a little less pain
This is where we sing and drink besides the graves we've dug...
...besides the graves we've dug...
You Are the Scars
Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness
It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift
It took me years to realize you teared my heart through fordable mires
But I wasn’t made for shallow waters, my heart is an ocean…
And I think that’s where I am right now: Floating, drifting away
Too weak to continue swimming, yet not weak enough to give up and sink
Leastwise I know now, that salty waters might cure everything
Shedding tears… …or to walk into the sea…
Did you know, if you hold your breath all too long
You will finally sleep forever?
Did you know, that I never forgave myself
For what we’ve become?
How odd I can have all of this inside me
And to you it’s just words, another letter???
But what is loss? What is wealth?
I am nothing! We are nothing…!
We are nothing…!
I am the mourning
You are the scars
I am the night
Color me black
I am the mourning
You are the scars
I am the night
Color me black
There’s a place in my heart that will never be filled
And even during the best and the greatest times
I will know it… …more than ever
I will know it… …more than ever
In another night, in another world
Things could have been so different
In another night, in another world
Things would have been so different
I am the mourning
You are the scars
I am the night
Color me black
I am the mourning
You are the scars
I am the night
Color me black
Heroine Waltz
Somewhere there‘s a garden of everlasting love within me
But I fear that all you can see are the scars that grace my skin
These lightless walks will chafe us and just the drugs keep us warm
People feel so lonely in the dark, I feel so lonely in the light
I feel so sad about the people
That never made it behind the bars of their hometown
That never saw these bottomless depths
That never walked these mires, I have walked
Worth the pain that has burned me and scarred my soul
For having been allowed to walk where I have walked
Which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth and back again
Under, far beneath, through it, in it… …and above…
My dear, the concept of „home“ is such a vague notion
As I can‘t stay in the same place for more than three days
Once you told me, that I‘ll never find home without leaving
But now I saw so many places, I at least forgot them all
So I’m lying in my bed, in my house
And all I want to do is to go home…
I had to promise them that I won’t go, but nevertheless I will leave
I’d like to think they must have known that I would do this one day
So I hope to arrive at my burial late, psychotic and wasted
Cause when it’s about death, I feel nothing at all
Nothing but anticipation
Nothing at all
And I will never regret all the wounds you inflicted on me
Cause another two of these scars and the world is dead
For how I harmed you my dear… …I am sorry…
But as this last summer passed I could no longer bear the pain
This was our last autumn and I’ll take the blame
…I’m so fucking sorry… …but that’s how it ends…
Tomb Omnia
You never were aware of me since you died certain years before my birth
I’m about your age now, soon to attain the days you lost your vital spark
Although you‘re not my father, I’m nevertheless your daughters‘ brother
We will never meet in person and I’ll never lay roses, just thorns to your grave
It was more than three decades ago they found you close to the woods
Your gaunt dead body, held by nothing but this plaited noose
My sister was with them, till today she failed to forget
To her you will never age, your face will never grow old
These days of autumn at least wrecked their lives
And in the long run, somehow it too shattered mine
There’s no way anybody will get well again
And in no way, anybody will be the same again
There is this graveyard far up in the mountains
We met up there in last winter’s coldest night
When mom brought you dewy flowers
Like she did in all the years before
There’s so much death up there
Especially at night
Maybe that’s the reason
It’s the only place I feel home
I can totally get your motives
As I know of severity too
I was always aware that nothing ends with suicide
I was always aware that people die from sadness
We move up to the gallows, straight up to the noose
In this state of depression there’s no time left to loose
So we pour this tree, this life of reckless dedication
How couldn’t we? Our coffin’s shaped by its wood
I don’t know if you care
But your old cabin still guards the gates to the woods
It‘s still watching the mountains grow
Watching all these years passing by
And after death almost seized it
We gave our best to fill it with life
It still looks the same like back in the old days
As you‘d have left it just last June
Stillborn
I wonder if depression ever ends
Or if it will end me
I'm still dancing on the edge of the blade
Till it cuts me in half
Some days I feel everything at once
Other days I feel nothing at all
So what's worse?
Drowning beneath the waves or dying from the thirst?
I dropped my Prozac from one day to the other
I do not regret, why should I bother?
I just wonder what will happen?!
Maybe it will kill me... eventually set me free...
Neither do I ask the night to explain
I wait for it and it envelops me
And so you, me, gloom and light...
...and shadows... are
Don't charm away my melancholy, it's everything I've got
To me it's kind of death, but I'm forced to keep living
I won't glorify or romanticize what you call heartbreak
But nothing in this world was promised or belong to you
Someday someone won't be afraid of the lows I drag
They won't stay on the shore, they'll meet me in the depths
I am not dead but also not alive
I seem like a ghost with a beating heart
Cause death is not the greatest loss in life
But what dies inside us while we fledge
We are walking away quietly into empty spaces
We are trying to close the gaps of the past
Cause of all sad words of tongue or pen
The saddest are these: 'It might have been'
Don't charm away my melancholy, it's everything I've got
To me it's kind of death, but I'm forced to keep living
I won't glorify or romanticize what you call heartbreak
But nothing in this world was promised or belonged to you...
...was promised or belonged to you.
This is such a good album! I can feel a lot of Agalloch, Opeth and Fall of Efrafa vibes. Super!
Fall of Efrafa is way good. I have all their albums. Got into them shortly after "Inlé" came out
You can instantly jump in and understand what these guys are doing, and what they're doing is great
One of the biggest influences for us. Best band of the last 20 years in post-black metal genre.
ya know, their earlier stuff just never really did it for me
like i dont claim to have studied their catalogue, but they pop up in autoplay/suggestions frequently enough, and i always end up skipping
but this one man, this one is incredible. i'm definitely gonna be spinning this, and keeping an eye out for them in the future
power power
This came on after having jammed the new Mgla for the millionth time. Have been aware of this band but never gave them a shot for whatever reason. Clearly I have been missing out. This is good shit. Perfect for staring out the window on this gloomy post Thanksgiving day as I work from home.
Damn, this album beat Aokigahara for me. I loved every song on this one, which is rare.
This is exactly what I never knew I was looking for. Sooooo glad I stumbled upon this EXCELLENT album, I'm definitely a new fan.
I'm from Colombia, and I wanna go to your concert so bad.
Insomnium of black metal. Terrific record with insane amount of amazing leads. I even got used to the vocals over time. Maybe not better than Aokigahara but still one of the best albums of 2018.
Couldn't have put it better myself
Hey if you like this, check out Be'lakor. Very similar. 4 great albums out already. Great band.
in case someone cares and is going to look up Be'lakor:
The bands are similar in Guitar Riffage and some drumming parts. I don't know about the lyrics i haven't read yet.
I like Be'lakor more because they have warmer recordings. Also the use of growls instead of mid screams like here make them more mysterious and easier to listen to especially on the album "of breath and bone".
Finally i would recommend no one to expect Be'lakor to be very similar to Harakiri For The Sky. They still differ greatly. You will see for yourself.
They're similar because both of them basically refer to Insomnium.
@@olivierouimet5686 i prefer Be'Lakor because their music somehow manages to sound incredibly "philosophical" to me. IDK how to put it, but Stone's Reach has this atmosphere about it making me think about thing. Not just feeling things mind you, but indeed asking difficult questions and solving interesting problems or building philosophical arguments. It is EXACTLY what music is supposed to do, it is supposed to work wonders for that one person.
Harakiri for the sky and be lakor have nothing to do with insomnium. Also be lakor cant be compared to harakiri for the sky whatsoever
I absolutely love this album! The melodies are amazing and gives you a warm sense of belief. So many emotions in the songs. I love it.
how the fuck did i miss the release and hype for this?! been a fan since self titled!
I regret for not having checked this album, or band for that matter, earlier. Amazing.
I's a shame I only ever seem to listen to this band when I'm depressed and want to die. Or scream into the void. Or both.
Why? Take their energy and make it yours! Cry till you feel nothing, then Fly and Take what you want frm this shitty world and f..k the rest! 🔥 🔥 🔥
War gestern in Mannheim auf ihrem Konzert, und es war wirklich atemberaubend!
ich auch :)
Zweite Reihe ? ^^ und vor "dool" gegangen ? ^^
Just going over the lyrics and you can already tell these guys know what they're talking about. They lived that, but haven't we all at some time? This band hits very close to home for me. Especially The Graves We've Dug.
I just realized this I find myself at here everytime when I fail. HFTS is giving me the inspiration that I need. I love their way of using suicidal thoughts in the songs. Weird but I feel more powerful than before I discover them. Thanks much for keeping me alive. Respect to the masters of arts, to the Austrians. I'll be listening your songs when I visit Hermann Nitsch's gallery in Gallipoli :')
i feel you!!!
Reverse psychology #1. They inject power, awesome riffs, throw-down ftw, I(you) have it all, JUST go get it, pure attitude #2 And, YOU r not the beat, but the Beat Down anytime/where #3.
Oh yeah, 1 more thing. You find yourself here when you fail. As you find a few less failures, Show the band how much more fucking awesome they r when you find yourself here when you SUCCEED!!!!!
@@dead2802 Ofc I'll show them. HFTS is coming to Constantinople in a few months. I've a ticket and I am ready to them, it will be so fuckin exciting!
Finally they came and I was there. It was awesome..
Pedazo de álbum es inmenso pletorico, lleno de poder y melodia , no me canso de escucharlo y ganas, muchas ganas de verlos por barcelona .
'Was looking for some death doom, the robot bring me here. Staying for the rest of the day, keeping this band in my radar.
conheci essa banda essa semana, já se tornou uma das minhas favoritas!
This is utterly fantastic metal. As much as I love people who strain their vocals to sound like demons and bands that avoid writing about emotions to appease shallow brutes, and I mean that, this raw, visceral style of vocal delivery and relatable lyrics about real life issues people with depression face is awesome, right up there alongside Agalloch for me.
Aren't we just sensitive. What would you do in WWI trenches?
Next time wear a steel tampon.
I wouldn't have gone I'd have been brave enough to stand up to war fever; I'd rather die than kill, seems cowardly the other way round.
I absolutely agree with your decision to not defend yourself. Darwinism all the way, may the strong survive, may the twee ones stay deluded.
All album it's perfect. I can hear this Forever.🖤 thanks so much for this.
2:35 But I forgot my African name.
LMAO
XD
Just barely heard this album for the 1st time as well as the Band. And 2 songs in and they were the best minutes discovering new music this year
Dayle Sanchez check out Karg. It’s the project of the vocalist. And as well all other bands in my channel 😌
@@AOPRecords What band would you recommend out of all the bands on your channel
Dayle Sanchez Karg, Groza, Ellende, Firtan, Anomalie, Ofdrykkja, The Spirit, Sun of the Dying and Spiral Skies
@@AOPRecords Will give all them a listen. Thanks
Agreed!
Love this album,I can relax for ages with this!
Wow. Preordered cd box set, black DLP, fire owl shirt, and the white owl cover art shirt. I'm definitely not crying but I think my wallet is.
This album is fucking pure genius
Felizmente temos o youtube para podermos ter contato com um som tão massa quanto esse!!!!
Estamos em todos os lugares, realmente ksksks ✌🏼
Thats magnificent!!!! Keep rocking, love your music
Greetings from Brazil.
after so long time, i finally discovered a great band. guys all your albums are amazing 🤘
I never clicked on a link so fast in my life before. This is amazing
A unique sound and a very unique vibe with these guys...I like it!
Desde que escuché esta banda no he podido dejar de escucharla, me encanta como suenan lml es desgarrador con mucha fuerza y sentimiento no puedo evitar hacer Headbanging en el metro...
Usually not so much fan of this style, but THAT is good music !!! Very good songwritting
Im not a big fan of this genre. but damn, this is worth a listen.
This is the kind of intensity I love in music.
Looking forward to see them here in Mexico next year... It's gonna be awesome!!!!
How was it?
I love this album! You guys are true Idals cause I've went through the same shit that describes in the lyrical art and still currently going through so much traumatic experiences in my life. It helps me motivate my self through my life at this point in time with the life lessons portraying Co-incide. I put my self out in a Ditch to get sober out in Phoenix, AZ after going through the loss of a loved one the emotional set-backs were horrible although I have been down this has put me at in a mind set to keep fighting for my life too survive and never give up.
I liked "My dear, the concept of „home“ is such a vague notion" cause it summed up how I was feeling at the time being out side making a living under no income but having the motivation to continue being responsible anyways.
If you played this at a homeless shelter and everyone was reading along with the lyrics people would start crying.
But it would be a very good realization for everyone to improve themselves.
Putting all of my strength through putting my self in a healthy mind set I have finally been notified I am getting a homeless Housing voucher very soon after all the set-backs.
I agree with all this and fuck anyone who is too shallow to be able to separate posers from people with severe mental health issues. We don’t need emotionless brutes defining genre. Melancholy works for many of us. I have depression, if you call me an emo, I guess that makes you a good person! Adult bullies are a weird one...
How has your new lifes first year been?
Esse álbum é uma verdadeira obra de arte sonora! Adorei, se um dia vierem ao Brasil, serei o primeiro a comprar o ingresso. Parabéns a banda e a AOP Records por trazerem musica de qualidade aos nosso ouvidos .
I had to admit that is a good band, good songs, good music, doesnt matter the genere or if its "true black" or not, is good.
Love love love love love this!!! So much raw emotion
Indeed, so much anguish and anger in his voice, with a backdrop of heaviness and beautiful melodies. Such a perfect blend.
I can't stop listening to this album!
This is the first album in years that I play on repeat and each listen is as good as the first
Wow! love it to bits! Waited long time for this and it was well worth it. i never thought i'd find music that screams so many familiar thoughts back at my head...
The Stamina, energy, and pure emotion to blow a hole thru the sky! Holy Shit!!!!!
What I love about this band is that they have such high standards for themselves that they simply won't put out something that is bad.
Still think Trauma is their masterpiece, but this one has its own moods. I like it a lot.
gli harakiri for the sky. i tecnicismi non mi competono, non li conosco, non ho nemmeno mai suonato uno strumento, mi sarebbe piaciuta la batteria. sarebbe stata perfetta per una come me che "fa tanto rumore". non so un cazzo di come descriverli così lo faccio a parole mie. loro sono il caos e la perfezione di un cuore in pezzi, ascoltarli è come sbattere forte la testa, come esplodere su una mina, come lanciarsi dall'ottavo piano, ottavo piano come ottavo giorno. un giorno che non esiste ma in cui sono stati creati i diversi, che però esistono invece. ottavo piano, so esattamente cosa si proverebbe. volo di pochi istanti, tonfo muto dello schianto, in una frazione di secondi dentro senti solo...imploderti. è come inciampare e cadere in terra ma al massimo del volume possibile. loro li sento suonare così e poi ancora sono melodici, aggressivi, struggenti, carnali, rapidi, supersonici, massacranti, ipnotici, amari, dolci, commoventi, carezzano come una lama contropelle, sono fiammeggianti, sbranano mentre suonano. li ascolto così. li amo così. fuck.!!
i listened to this 20 or 30 times, that is great.
Leck mich fett!!! Über KARG den Weg zu HFTS gefunden und diese Mucke ist einfach so unfassbar!!! Großes Lob an alle beteiligten!
Perhaps the only "Post-black metal" band I really love.
Ты чё плохими словами застряли.
I found really good album. After few minutes of listening I can say I found really great album. In BM I loved Exercises in Futility of Mgła but this album sound similar but different and is definitely masterpiece of 2018! First time google failed so much it found it for me after 1 year! Fix the bug please.
This album is something else
The deluxe Edition is just awesome! Thank you HFTS and Sven of AOP for this masterpiece!
I'm a metal guy but more into doom, post, sludge , metalcore.... but I really like this album, the guitarwork, the atmosphere , really good job
Love the energy of the singer - would be great if specifically the vocal would be a lil bit louder to give this aspect more weight.
I'm not sure, I also think it blends nicely with the rest of the instruments at that volume....
@@filmjarvis81 Maybe... maybe not... you just have to hear it once to have a comparison. But tastes are different.
I am in love with this album and this band. CAnt wait to see them live. PLEASE come to the UK.
check darkness guide us, end of november in glasgow
Impulsive beautiful sadness. I love this album so much!
Thomas Weber no sadness found.
3 seconds in and i already love it
Heard bout you guys coming at Thessaloniki, Greece, so I'm likely to come there to headbang! :metal:
"You are the scars" is the best song in the album
what a fucking record, so underrated
Thanks for your music J.J and M.S.
The Special Edition with the lighter,... is really awesome.
Also thanks to aop records for signing harakiri for the sky.
Looking forward to see you in nürnberg guys.

Why do people fight over if. this band is post metal or black metal its the perfect blend of both i hear as much ulver and burzum as i do mogwai and godspeed its beutiful
It's black metalcore, what the fuck are you talking about :D
@@VidZeen 😂😂
@@VidZeen Its Jumpstyle obviously!
Why I never gave that band I huge listen? This is top level stuff, such nice leads and powerful rythms and nothing is too exaggerated like by many "newer" bands! Will support you now!
I have the same feeling. I can't believe I took so long to listen to this band. It could be the name that would have thrown me off slightly. . .
GREAT VOCALS!!! EVERYTHING SOUNDS GOOD GENTSZ
Currently listening to: Harakiri For The Sky - Arson
This record ? The beacon in my days.
The band's name already had me intrigued, the album cover is the icing on the cake
... and the Music?
Funny, the band's name (which I consider to be awful, if admittedly unique), is why I avoided them for months after being recommended. But more fool me, I suppose. The music is top notch.
I truly adore this album in particular and the bands catalogue as a whole. There's something about Arson though, that just speaks to me as a recovering addict. Can't wait to see them in Minneapolis!
Raw and beautiful!
