Austrian post-black metallers Harakiri for the Sky have released a new single, “Keep Me Longing”, along with an intense music video. The video, directed by Tim Hanke-Zilles, showcases the band’s signature blend of raw emotion and dreamy soundscapes.
The band explains the concept behind the video: “We wanted to write a storyline that plays with two heavy contrasts: Two protagonists, who handle the feeling of loss and despair in two completely oppositional ways. One tries to get rid of his negative feelings by autoaggression in loneliness and the other one finds distraction in the vastness of the city and destructive behaviour.”
In addition to the new single, Harakiri for the Sky have announced a full European Tour. Tickets are on sale now, with dates confirmed for January and April. The tour will visit cities across Europe, including Hamburg, Vienna, Munich, and Paris.
The band’s new album, “Scorched Earth”, is set to be released on January 24th via AOP Records. The album features seven tracks, including “Heal Me” (feat. Tim Yatras / Austere) and “Too Late For Goodbyes” (feat. Serena Cherry / Svalbarduk). Special editions of the album will include bonus tracks, including a cover of Radiohead’s “Street Spirit (Fade Out)”.
